She received her BSc, MSc, and PhD from the University of Kiel, Germany, where she studied the compensatory effects of transgenerational plasticity on climate change-related stress. As a postdoc, she shifted her focus from micro- to macroevolutionary scales, investigating rapid speciation processes […]
