A biotechnologist turned natural scientist, I love to read about fascinating new research and feel a strong urge to spread the science bug to everyone I know. I am currently exploring writing as a way to do this. I am a researcher too and try to reconstruct environments of the past using diverse natural materials and their chemical composition. I also am a primatology, linguistics, history and archaeology enthusiast.
