Ioanna Garefalaki

PhD Candidate · Evolutionary Biologist · Science Writer & Communicator

I am a computational evolutionary biologist fascinated by biological variation: where it comes from, how it is regulated, and whether it matters for evolution. My PhD at LMU Munich focuses on epigenetic variation in natural populations, particularly DNA methylation, quantitative genetics and the challenge of separating biological signal from technical variation. Beyond research, I write and communicate science through public engagement and outreach.
