Dashboard – Darwin Tree of Life

CV

I'm currently solving this problem:

How can we make sure that all teams that work on our project work together well and know everything they need to know? How can we deal with the incredible amount of data that is coming our way without slowing down or getting sidetracked?
I'm currently working on these species doing this:

We just got the first plant assemblies and I’m very interested in what they look like. So far we’ve mainly dealt with vertebrates (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) and insects, so plants will be a new challenge.

My Interview
- How has your work progressed recently?
  
  We had to do what we do faster and for more things. This scaling up was challenging, but I think we're set up well and will manage.
  
  What have you got planned for your research over the next year?
  
  We need to make sure we can deal with the most complicated genomes out there, the really big ones, the ones with many many chromosomes and the ones where the genome sequence is so repetitive that you can't tell left from right.
  
  What or who inspired you to follow your career?
  
  The beauty of clean data.
  
  If you weren't doing this job, what would you choose instead?
  
  Professional classical singer, if only I were good enough...
