Elsa Call
Elsa is a PhD student at the Department of Biology, Lund University (Sweden). She works on the development of next-generation sequencing techniques for DNA from museum specimens. Her project focuses on molecular phylogenetics, more precisely on Lepidoptera (butterflies) phylogenomics. This project is under the supervision of Niklas Wahlberg and Mikael Hedrén.El... show more
