One day and the next as well we are told that specialization rules. Each day we know more about the world, so a person can only know a small piece of it, smaller each year. Take my training, scientist. A recipe for contemporaneous success is to find a spot to dig in an unique research line, and burrow deep. Never mind gold miners, if you care for diamonds. It is another trade, with other tools and markets.

Scilla and Charibdis Research starts with another recipe. No matter how different is what they hope for, all miners have much in common. Gold mining does profit from the experience of diamond mining. And beyond the profit, all miners lust for the treasure hunt. So do scientists. Mathematicians and biologists lust for understanding nature. Important insights had happened after the meeting of equations and laboratories. Scilla and Charibdis Research, then, starts as a crossroad to meet disparate ways of research and to share our lust for knowledge.

In the past we have been focused on population genetics and ecology. A thesis on biodiversity dynamics was followed by work on ecological complex dynamics. Then we produced manuscripts on gene networks, on canalization and on founder effect.

A continued field of interest is the use of differential geometry on evolutionary theory. A first manuscript offers ways to further development

In the present we are working on the economics of ethnic diversity, the societal discussion on european migration and globalized economic cycles. Preliminary ideas on diversity and innovation are being developed.

As an independent research agency, our funding comes from the application of the tools of our trade. The fund raising activity of Scilla and Charibdis Research is statistical consulting. Do you need our services? You are welcome to contact us.


As we are interested in different disciplines, we are interested in new research partners. Continuing exploration of diverse questions can only sharpen the answers. Care to share your ideas? Maybe participate in our research projects? Meetings are always possible.
