As a conservation geneticist, I am broadly interested in how we can use genetic methods and analyses to inform conservation measures in the U.K. My PhD is investigating using museomics as a tool to understand extinctions and inform re-introductions of UK butterflies. This involves close cooperation with Restore, a restoration and ecological consultancy based in Devon, to implement my scientific findings.
