✨Life update: Excited to start my postdoc with David Berger at Uppsala University, Sweden, exploring how warming affects fertility and adaptive potential in beetles 🌡️🪲
Thanks to Stefan Lüpold and the lab for an amazing 4.8 years, and to Sven och Lilly Lawskis fond for supporting the next chapter 🥳.

🎉 I’m delighted to share that the final paper of my PhD is out!

We studied how heat stress affects male and female fertility across reproductive stages in Drosophila melanogaster.
@StefanLupold @anDeNardo @KomalMaggu, Viktor Kovalov, Benjamin Eggs 🥳🥳🥳🥳

6 years ago I got to do a research visit thanks to the @eseb.bsky.social Godfrey Hewitt Mobility Award. I’m so happy to reunite with the lab I visited in Zurich and my adoptive Swiss parents who took me in 🥰

🎉 Our new paper is out in Evolution!
We show how sexual selection shapes heat tolerance in Drosophila prolongata.
Males evolved under sperm competition suffer more under heat stress.
