We had a great #WilhelminenbergSeminarTalk last week! Neal Dawson @nealdawson.bsky.social took us up high into the Andes, where he looked into the factors that make specific species 🦆🐦 adapt to high altitude, low temperature and low oxygen 🫁.

Thanks to all, for great discussions about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Special thanks go to @biobiiana.bsky.social, who concluded the event with an encouraging talk.
