My name is Sophie Breitbart. š©āš¦° I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology.
- š Iām currently working on: Understanding how urbanization influences the ecology and evolution of common milkweed (a favorite of Monarch butterflies).
- š± Iām currently learning: New skills left and right! My thesis has allowed me to cultivate skills in field research, statistics and modelling, teaching, writing, data analysis, bioinformatics and genomics, storytelling through presentations and other formats, molecular analyses, and so much more. I owe a lot to my excellent advisors, Drs. Marc Johnson and Helene Wagner.
- š Iām looking for help with: Understanding potential academic-adjacent or non-academic career paths for someone who loves doing research in ecology/evolutionary biology- especially the data collection and analysis portions. Please get in touch if you have gone down a similar career path. I'd be grateful to connect and learn about your experiences!
