Attending #ISWSS16, themed “The Wadden Sea in Transition: Cumulative Pressures and Conservation” this week was really inspiring. I met so many wonderful people speaking up for an ecosystem they love and that needs protection, and came back with many new project ideas.

We’re hiring a doctoral researcher in the area of migration ecology.
The work will focus on the question of how and when migratory songbirds learn where their home is using #Motus.
