traveling scientist

First post! Hello! I'm Barbara

I'm a scientist working on my PhD in Wildlife Disease. In general, I do molecular research into tick-transmitted diseases of wild felids, although I dabble in other fields as well.

I love science because I can explore my curiosity everyday.

I also love traveling. As a scientist, I often travel for conferences or research and while I'm in another town, or another city, or another country, I breath in all the food, music, and nature that I can.

With this blog, I hope to share with you my curiosity about the world via my thoughts on travel and science. All of the photos above are from some of my recent trips. In the future, I'll be sharing short vignettes about each place. I may also be writing critiques of scientific articles that I find particularly compelling or utterly uncompelling.

I hope you'll join me.
