Just a quick intro post to say hello!

I'm a mid-40s woman in tech and security engineer. I'm neurodivergent, genderfluid, and my pronouns are she/they.

I tend to use Mastodon for the things I love and enjoy, and I'll include a few of them in the hashtags.

Sharing a pic of me wearing my comfy Dustrial hoodie. In case I look familiar, I have migrated from elsewhere on the Fediverse!

Black and white photo. A woman with dark hair and a septum piercing is looking to the side of the camera. Her chin is slightly tucked into her black hoodie which has an embroidered Dustrial patch which reads, Hi-Tech, Lo-Life.

Snails of Cuba! In the end, we found 5 species, including the most endangered and arguably also most beautiful, Polymita sulphurosa. Unfortunately, we also encountered illegal sale of the shells on mountain pass.

Why? Project is on the evolution and conservation of these snails, led by Dr Bernardo Reyes in Cuba and working with colleagues from London zoo, Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.
