I am a PhD student studying Developmental Biology at the Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki. I am fascinated by the fact that animals develop from single cells to complex multicellular organisms, with their limbs in the right place and the head where it belongs! 

I think it is one of my duties as a scientist to be able to communicate science; and TSB is the right platform for it. I hope that I can contribute in getting more people interested in Science!
