What I do.
I am an evolutionary ecologist who uses experimental evolution
in microbes as one tool to examine questions in evolution and ecology.
I am interested in the factors that affect and limit the ability of
populations to adapt and survive, including genetic system, population
size and environmental quality and heterogeneity.
