Thrilled to announce that I successfully defended my PhD thesis, 'Geological Controls on Plant Diversity of the Hengduan Mountains,' this week from Ecosystems and Landscape Evolution ! Excited to take the next step by joining the Earth and Planetary Sciences at ETH Zurich as a postdoc, continuing my work in this fascinating field!

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

What is environmental DNA and how is it measured? In our most recent blog post, Caro Krug from Earth and Planetary Sciences at ETH Zurich writes about research in Taiwan, a mountain-island biodiversity hotspot! Check it out here: blogs.egu.eu/divisions/gm/2…

Mac (age 6, from the UK) asked Professor Sean Willett from ETH Zurich how mountains grow. Here is what he said.

More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
