Cool thread!! I really loved the photo thread that's been going for a few years already, where you could put a face to a name. This thread is a nice addition, since you can learn so much more about people!
Where do you live/Where are you from?
I'm born in New Haven, Connecticut to French parents. I lived in Connecticut and then in northern Virginia, and after 15 years of life in the USA my mother, sister and I moved back to my mom's hometown (Lyon) in France after my parents divorced. Still live in Lyon, although I spend most of my time in the Netherlands.
What do you do for a living?
Nothing for now! Got my MSc in Plant Sciences in the fall from Wageningen University in the Netherlands, then worked as a research assistant for 5 months, studying the flight behavior of malaria mosquitoes. Now I'm busy applying for PhD positions over there, in plant-insect interactions. I hope to work in plant breeding companies afterwards, working on developing insect resistant crops.(the natural way, not by making GMOs!)
What are some of your hobbies (besides orchids)?
I love fencing, it's a great sport! Also did horseback riding for 10 years, but stopped 5 years after a very bad riding accident. I love gardening, right now I'm so busy with the vegetable garden and flower beds. I also like photography, but don't have the time or money to get serious about it.
Pets
Have a tank full of tropical fish
An 8 year old male canary named Alphie

A few pics to come later, they're all on my laptop.
