Dr. rer. nat, Uni Oldenburg, AG Animal Navigation alumni. Interested in magnetoreception 🧲, bioinformatics 🧬, behavioral and molecular ecology, migratory birds and their retinas 🐦👀
I was delighted to present my research on the role of photoperiod in migratory behaviour and physiology in chiffchaffs during autumn at #EOU2025 congress! If anyone is interested in this topic, I'll be happy to chat during the remaining days.
P. S. I'm also looking for postdoc opportunities :)

Highly recommend to anyone who is struggling or overwhelmed during this uneasy time
I wrote a book. I go on about it a lot. It's called "Managing Your Mental Health During Your PhD: A Survival Guide". I promised myself it wouldn't just tell PhDs to "eat well" like that is a magic fix for poor supervision, uncertainty and/or research not going to plan, and I think I achieved that.
