Hi! I’m Sam Passmore. I’m a PhD student at the University of Bristol and a member of Fiona Jordan’s VariKin project studying the evolution of kinship - check us out here! I use quantitative methods to explore the diversity and evolution of kinship systems seen around the world. Previously I studied and worked for Quentin Atkinson at the University of Auckland - the city where I grew up. Outside of academia, I have worked as a Data Scientist at Pingar International.
I am also big into programming with R.
If there’s something I can help with - don’t hesitate to contact me!
