Can a Background in Physics and Math Enhance a Career in Evolutionary Biology?

[brpetrucci]

How did you find PF?

When I was a physics student I used it a lot for homework help and reading suggestions. Found it through Google, probably, searching for “how do I Lagrange” or something of the sort

Hey all! My name’s Bruno. I was a physics major for 2 years in undergrad, ended up switching to applied math and starting to do research in bio and now am a second year PhD student in mathematical evolutionary biology.

I’m still really interested in physics though, especially general relativity which was the focus of the grad classes I took when I was still a physics student. I’m here trying to reconnect with that part of myself! Looking to learn more about good self study resources, and just in general meeting people with similar interests. Thanks for reading! See y’all around.

As a biologist, sounds like you made some good choices to me.
