Dr. Miguel P.に依頼

Portugal

Manuscript review, assessment and edition. Personalised research coaching. Advice on publication and academic practices.

プロフィール概要

I can help you improve your manuscript by providing writing advice, careful editing, and even coaching your research work (in most fields in the life sciences). I can also help you conceptualise, design, optimise or troubleshoot your research projects. I am a biologist specialising in skeletal anatomy and functional morphology, using museum collections, imaging technology, 3D modelling and quantitative methods to investigate vertebrate variation and evolution.
