Biography

Boas studied Biochemistry at the Heinrich-Heine University Düsseldorf and Biology at Bielefeld University. His bachelor thesis is about the flavonoid biosynthesis in sugar beet. From 2014 to 2019, Boas participated in the synthetic biology competition iGEM in various roles. While completing the Master of Science program Genome-based Systems Biology, he shifted from molecular biology to bioinformatics and genomics. His doctoral thesis is about comparative analysis of different Arabidopsis thaliana genomes. Boas also investigated non-canonical splice sites in the genome sequences of numerous plant species. Parts of this research were performed during a visit in the Brockington group. In 2019, Boas received his doctoral degree from the Faculty of Biology at Bielefeld University. He was a member of the Computational Methods for the Analysis of the Diversity and Dynamics of Genomes (DiDy) graduate school and completed PhD programs in Biology and Bioinformatics.

Boas conducted many ONT long read sequencing and plant genome assembly projects at the Genetics and Genomics of Plants group (Center for Biotechnology, Bielefeld University) and at the Department of Molecular Genetics and Physiology of Plants (Ruhr-University Bochum). Since 2020, he is working as a postdoctoral fellow on the evolution of the betalain biosynthesis supported by a DFG fellowship.

Biography

In my research, I use linguistic datasets to analyze native language influence on second language acquisition. I also develop methods that can be used to work with these datasets, and make my own datasets available to others. In the past, I conducted some experimental research, and have published a paper on online recruitment.

In addition to my research, I actively engage in science communication, with the goal of discussing complex research in a way that helps people understand and implement it. I do this primarily via two websites that I run: Effectiviology (https://effectiviology.com/), where I write about psychology and philosophy that have practical applications, and Solving Procrastination (https://solvingprocrastination.com/), where I write about what procrastination is, why we do it, and how we can successfully overcome it.
