I am beyond honoured to have my research featured in a national museum! When I started this work in second year of my undergrad degree at Carleton I could never have imagined that it would turn into my 70 page thesis and be featured in the Canadian Museum of Nature.

I had a great time this morning chatting about cool snake embryos with Ryan and Lisa on CFAX 1070! Thanksssss🐍 for having me on.

My first paper is officially out in @currentbiology.bsky.social ! We found that snake embryos coil due to a mismatch in growth rates between the gut and spine. This tight coil is one of the reasons why snakes are able to get so long. Read the paper here!

I will be giving a talk tomorrow during the #EED2026 symposium c10 @11:47. I am excited to share my work on a new myriapod lab tractable model and arthropod tracheal evolution. If you stop by make sure to find me after to chat and get a sticker!
