**Isaac Overcast** (**@isaacovercast**) is a computational biologist interested in unifying models of ecological and evolutionary processes to better understand how biodiversity is generated and maintained. From 2019 to 2021 he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Morlon group at Institut de Biologie de l'Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, where he developed theory and models of island biodiversity genomics, in association with the EU funded iBioGen project. Isaac is currently a postdoc in the EcoEvoMatics lab at the University of Maine working on the Rules of Life Engine (the RoLE model), a continuation of his theoretical unification approach.
