Chemical engineer by training and profession. Spent my last working decade in the network and transport layers, plus security architecture. Retired now.
Never used the bird, ran from the faceplant and tightly constrain other social. Watched #Explore here for a bit and found interesting and welcoming positivity. Hoping to find a community to exchange and discuss ideas.
Fan of science fiction and original research in mammalian biology, microbiology and systems/network biology.

👋 :mastodon:,
I'm a researcher at #INRAE-Nouzilly (France) studying #quantitativegenetics of #chicken #behaviour (especially #socialbehavior) to improve #animalwelfare
I tackle these questions using my background from #EvolutionaryBiology. I've investigated how #sexualselection and #genetic constraints (#pleiotropy, between life stages & sexes) can drive the #evolution of phenotypes & behaviours in red #junglefowl and #drosophila (some cool stuffs to be published soon!)
