Biography

I completed my BSc and MSc at the University of Toronto, focusing on neuroscience and molecular genetics. I'm currently a PhD student at the Institute for the History & Philosophy of Science & Technology, interested in the intersections between evolutionary biology, ecology, and ethology, especially where research from animals is extrapolated to humans in the context of crowding in urban environments.
