Picture of Virginia García Alonso showing the torso and face. Virginia is wearing a red jacket, purple scarf and her hair loose. In the background there is the sea and mountains with snow. The photo was edited to look like a painting in the website www.goart.foto employing a filter called Rich Colored which accentuates the colors and gives the sense of being a painted portrait.

Hi there!

I am a marine biologist from Argentina, currently residing in the UK. My interests lie in conducting interdisciplinary research of marine ecosystems, creating appealing visualizations, and actively engaging in and promoting open science practices, including the amazing communities associated with them . I recently started constructing this website so new things are coming soon!
