Even though I am not a Big Daddy yet, I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a long time ago. I study science, and some day I hope I will be a scientist. I received my undergraduate degree in biology from the University of Buenos Aires. Later I became a master in biology in the University of Kansas. Now, I am doing my PhD in the Department of Geological Sciences with Dr. Bonnie Jacobs. Also, I like to read, to listen to music, and to cook with wine. I study science because I always felt curiosity for many things books or people cannot tell you. More specifically, my research interests are about the ecology and systematics of plants and fungi, and how each interacted with the other in ancient communities. See me in the picture together with my friend Teshomé in Ethiopia.
