Hi all!

Additionally from being a avid backpacker and photographer, I’m a scientist!

I’m working on my doctorate at the University of Idaho, looking at the phylogenetic relationships of the mostly Andean genus Bartsia (Orobanchaceae). I use molecular methods to infer the evolutionary history of this very cool group of plants!

If you are interested in my research check out my website at: http://www.simonuribe.com

Cheers

A little bit about myself…

Sunday, December 4th, 2005

I think I´m just a normal guy, who dreams about travelling around the world, and experience the magic of seeing and learning new things that inspire me to be a better person every day. I was born in Bogotá, Colombia, on the 24th of may 1983. I´ve been studying Biology for the last years and love plants. I enjoy taking pictures to beautiful skies and lovely sunsets or sunrises. Currently I´m in Barcelona, Spain, working as a waiter, to get the money for my dreamed journey. Only time will say how everything will evolve, but I can´t wait to start hitting the road.

I always have my family and friends in my heart, and I wish I can share with them all the experiences I´ve had very soon.
I´m planning on going back to Colombia in August 2007 

Siempre pa´lante,

Lebt wohl, live happy , vive feliz
