I am a MSc student at @unimib. Currently I am studying pycnogonids @BristolPalaeo.
I have a strong passion for anything with 6 limbs or more! #Arthropoda

Some pictures about the last days at the SMBE congress in Ferrara. I had the opportunity to meet amazing researchers presenting their work and to introduce the work we are carrying out on sea spiders' evolution!
