It was a great opportunity also to see again our SFB project members from Ruhr-Universität Bochum🐦, FU Berlin and Oxford!

Three incredible days & nights of #AnimalNavigation and #Magnetoreception at our 2024 Spring Meeting in a wonderful venue at the Thülsfelder Talsperre! Time flew as we enjoyed our discussions, talks and the new PhD student poster competition.

The Institute for Bird Research Wilhelmshaven has a vacancy for a science communicator (application deadline 4 April). Please find the job offer here: ifv-vogelwarte.de/das-institut/s….

Happy to announce the successful defense of my #PhD thesis at @UniOldenburg! To those still navigating this journey, may you find the strength,patience,and stubbornness needed. Remember the profound reasons driving you through this journey. If you've come this far, you can do it!

(1/16) #BOUsci23 #SESH2 - we are fascinated by #bird #migration , and with our work aim to understand this behaviour on the molecular level

I am especially happy that I got a feelSpace with support of SFB 1372 for future projects with kids, pupils or students @UniOldenburg The #naviBelt gives its wearer a new #sense of space by making paths and directions perceptible with vibrations #magneticsense 🧭 #navigation

#Science fun: Last week, I realized my #ant project with junior researchers (pre-school kids) 😍🐜 How do ants look like?🔬How do they find their way? #TrailFollowing with extracts and experiencing the #GeomagneticField with a feelSpace 🧭👍What does a #biologist do? 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬🔎

And so the Autumn Migratory season experiments begins.

With the end of the field season, not only we returned to @UniOldenburg, but we also got new #team members. I proudly present Queen Athena and Queen Bari with their respective colony members 🐜👑🐜👑🐜

#PhD #fieldwork

Our PhD Day in Wilhelmshaven was marked by stormy winds and cheerful minds. Highlights for the doctoral students of the SFB 1372 were the team-building activities, the input on mental health and the guided tour of the Wadden Sea Visitor Centre.

a rainy saturday morning well spent - Corinna Langebrake took kids on a fascinating journey along with her European robins. (why) are robins fascinating? what is their superpower? how do they find their way on #migration ? #gezwitscher ' at #kunsthalleWilhelmshaven #scicomm

congratulations on finishing in style, sonam. here we are hugely looking forward to welcoming you soon - great ideas 💡 and projects 🧬 🐦 🧪 🧠 🧭 waiting to be tackled within Institute of Avian Research "Vogelwarte Helgoland" SFB 1372 and beyond.
