Hi there! I'm Kaitlin, an evolutionary biologist and writer. Here you can explore my portfolios of science and art.
As a scientist, I am fascinated by ecology and the way it can constrain or potentiate evolutionary patterns, and I use bacteria to explore eco-evolutionary dynamics. Conceptually, I am interested in the evolution of novelty and the origins of inter-species interactions, such as predation and the natural ecology of antibiotics. Some of my work is at the interface of experimental evolution and climate change. During my PhD in the Velicer lab at ETH Zurich, I studied microbial predation and microbial food webs. I am currently a postdoc in the ELM lab at the University of Liverpool.
