Antoine got a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellowship!
Great achievement for our former PhD student
Antoine Simon (post-doctoral fellow at UConn and BEC lab alumni) got awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellowship to work with Prof. Einar Timdal (Natural History Museum, University of Oslo) on genomic approaches applied to historical herbarium specimens. His project FRAME (Fungal Research in the Age of Museomic Exploration) will aim at generating informative genetic data from ancient lichen collections, providing a cost-effective and labor-saving strategy to integrate relevant museum collections in biodiversity research.
Way to go Antoine! We are thrilled that we will continue collaborating with you.
