NEXT STOP
After her postdoc in Zürich, Mollie moved to Copenhagen to work as a biostatistician in fisheries research.

My main interest is in quantifying life history traits and their effects on demography. I think it’s interesting that tradeoffs are a ubiquitous part of life and the ways that species and individuals handle those tradeoffs affect their fitness. I have also worked on modelling community dynamics, epidemiology, and the evolution of sex-change. Most of my work involves either fitting models to data or writing equations. Tools and methods I use include R, TMB, maximum likelihood estimation, MCMC sampling, and dynamic optimization modelling.
