👋 Hey Mastodon! Finally it is time for an introductory post!

I'm a researcher investigating mineralised biological tissues using various forms of #microscopy 🔬with complementary #spectroscopy and #crystallography. I'm interested in #bone and #osteocytes 🦴, #teeth 🦷, #biominerals 💎, #bacteria 🦠, #snails 🐌, #lichen 🌿, #trees 🌲, and more.

Follow me for posts about my research and news from the world of mineralised tissue #biology 🧬, #science 🧪, and nature 🦋
