Labs

Schmid-Hempel Lab - My current lab at ETH (bumblebees and their parasites).

Gerardo Lab - My previous lab at Emory University (aphids and fungus growing ants).

De Roode Lab - Another lab at Emory that works closely with the Gerardo lab and does fantastic work on self medication in monarch butterflies.

Software I find useful

R - Open source and powerful statistics software.

Dendroscope - A free cross-platform phylogenetic tree editing program.

Evernote - Helps me keep my thoughts in order, mostly.

NIH ImageJ - For measuring from digital photos.

Dropbox - Finally a good way to synchronize your files and share them with people securely. It’s a great service (fantastic for collaboration as it keeps older versions available), and free. Check it out.
