Marina Scalon

I study how plants adapt to environmental change from a functional and ecophysiological perspective, with a focus on Neotropical ecosystems. I also teach R and enjoy coding and working with data. Outside of science, I’m a mother of two girls, learning to see the world through their eyes every day.
