=Me, Myself and I=

I am Canadian 40px and Quebecer 33px.

I have a B.Sc. in biology by problem-based learning from the Université du Québec à Montréal.

I have a M.Sc. in plant science, but focused on insects, from McGill University with the Neotropical Environment Option in collaboration with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.

I am working towards a Ph.D. in biology, in the Ecology, Evolution and Behavior program at Indiana University Bloomington.

----

=My interests=

I am mainly interested in biology, especially entomology and behavioural ecology, insect evolution, but also entomophagy (not quite biology). I usually find most science subjects interesting. I like to cook and eat well. Excluding Wikipedia, my spare time goes to photography (especially insect macro, see [http://www.flickr.com/photos/pro_bug_catcher/ my Flickr account]), do what I can for the planet, reading (especially fantasy & fiction), listening to music (especially celtic, celtic fusion, alternative rock, folk-rock and rock en español), and watching anime.

I agree with User:Shanes' (now slightly outdated) rant: Why tags are evil

E.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neverwinter&oldid=197513751 Neverwinter], with practically a full screen of notices before the article!
