I am an evolutionary biologist, mostly interested on the diversification of Neotropical organisms. When I was six years old, I told my mom that wanted to be 'one of those scientists that name species', and specifically claimed that I would study reptiles. Indeed, I became an herpetologist, and I've been studying lizards for almost 13 years now. After all those years, I'm still interested in taxonomy, but most of my research involves investigating the evolutionary and biogeographic patterns that generate biodiversity. I am also a heavy metal aficionado, and all my scientific activities are developed under the most extreme soundtrack that humans could conceive.
