I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Inter-Disciplinary Ecology and Evolution Lab. I use multilevel models to study variation between and within individuals (using zebrafish as a model organism), and variation in outcomes between similar studies (using systematic review and meta-analysis methods). I am broadly interested in meta-science, and want to improve the reliability of academic research.
