About

Hi, my name is Siri and I am a plant evolutionary biologist at the Natural History Museum in Oslo. In my research, I aim to better understand the molecular basis of the processes generating plant diversity, like speciation and adaptation.

This web page is currently under development, so please forgive the many unfinished tabs.
