This paper shows the importance of collaborations! Who knew a bunch of "leftover" fecal samples could turn out into such a cool paper.
We found that lack of sleep and increased stress decrease diversity in the gut microbiotas of common mynas.

Are comparable studies really comparable? 🪱🐦
-We found that small changes to protocols can strongly affect cognitive performance.
-Highlighting replicability problems often present in cognition studies.

Officially a Doctor! 4 years of ups and downs, just so I could change my name to Dr Juliane on my email signature, Twitter and airline profiles. #worthit

I did it! I defended my thesis today! 🥳
It's been a long, wild, but amazing journey. And I couldn't have done it without my two exceptional supervisors! Thank you, @ke_cain and @mc_stanley1, for hanging on and believing in me (even when I changed my project for the 4th time). 😆

3 years ago I became a master of tits at @lunduniversity. A lot has changed since then, just not my love for great tit jokes. 🪞🐣

4 years ago today I became a #biologist in Brazil. 4 days later, I was doing my masters in Sweden. And now I am almost halfway into my PhD in New Zealand. Back then, I would have never imagined being where I am right now. I am so excited for the next 4 years. #firstgen #phdchat

A quick tip for #OnlinePresentations - Always leave an empty space at the top corner of your slides. This way, all of your great content can be seen without needing to drag your video around. Photo of my @AnimBehSociety presentation as an e.g.
