Midori Yajima

I am a PhD candidate in the Plant Ecology Modelling Group (P.I. Dr Silvia Caldararu), looking at plant seasonality in a changing climate within the project PhenoShift.  

I hold a MSc in Ecology - Ecosystem and Conservation Biology and a BSc in Biological Sciences, both from Sapienza University of Rome, Italy. As part of my MSc I spent a year working with the Ecological and Environmental Change Research Group at the University of Bergen, Norway, and after my graduation I worked in Trinity as a visiting researcher in the Plant Climate Interaction Lab. 

Outside academia, I have worked with environmental NGOs, science education, and environmental communication. I am motivated in contributing to a more accessible science, whether through outreach, citizen science, or other media.
