Plant biologist, data analyst, bioinformatician and programmer at the Millennium Seed Bank.

PhD student in Plant Sciences at Cambridge, studying C4 photosynthesis.

My expertise is in plant biology, especially:

• Seed biology, dormancy and germination
• C4 photosynthesis and carbon fixation/concentrating mechanisms in general
• Environmental plant physiology
• Molecular biology of plant organogesis, i.e. organ patterning, auxin, shoot and root branching

I write software in Objective-C and Python, and I have some experience with JS and data vis libraries like the beautiful D3.js, and with R.

I'm active on Biology.SE, a young but outstanding biology Q&A community. If you've got some expertise to share, or have some questions about biology, I strongly recommend you join.
