Romain is an evolutionary ecologist and veterinarian who is interested above all in how natural selection shapes the strength and duration of immune defenses, especially maternally derived immunity. He has worked a lot on wild birds but now works on mammals, too, and charming ones at that: the Soay sheep of St. Kilda, Scotland (while he was a postdoc at Princeton, 2012-2015), and Ghanaian bats. Romain is also on a quest for perfect cheese.
