Alejandro is an evolutionary biologist (University of Barcelona, 2015; Ludwig-Maximilians Universität München, 2017) interested in morphological evolution, taxonomy, palaeontology and functional morphology. He likes to write mostly about poorly known creatures and interdisciplinary topics that gather together evolutionary biology with astronomy, history or the advance of scientific thinking.

Alejandro is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto (Canada), where he is researching a group of 500-million-year-old-fossils from the well-renowned Burgess Shale, as part of the Royal Ontario Museum Invertebrate Palaeontology group. Alejandro is also a LaCaixa fellowship 2019 recipient.

Alejandro is not only the co-owner of this blog, but an enthusiastic science writer and science communicator. You can find more about him here: https://trichodes.wordpress.com/
