Bio: I am an archaeobotanist and ethnobotanist focusing on plant technologies in the tropics through plant anatomy and phytolith studies.
Location: Barcelona
Hi there š I'm Celine
š I'm currently working on improving FAIR practices in the phytolith research community with ICOPS.
ICOPS is involved in the training and communication of open science tools (GitHub) for phytolith researchers.
We are trying to develop ontologies dedicated to the study of phytoliths.
My personal research focuses on the physical properties of plants and plant-based technologies.
I am using a participant-observation approach to learn about the raw materials, techniques, technology, and purposes of basket making.
I aim to learn how practitioners assess the properties or qualities of the materials they use, and how the materials are related to end products and uses.
š± Iām currently learning:
how to use open science tools
how to make baskets from plant-based raw materials and plastics,
how to create compost and bokashi compost from trash!
šÆ Iām looking for collaboration around sustainability and responsible science
