A while back @bmioduszewska.bsky.social and I did a bit with the fabulous @drracheldale.bsky.social and Megan Lambert, that you can check out here. As I’m lazy with my socials, they already have an new episode out with @goatswhostare.bsky.social… Also very worth listening to 👍

Their exciting findings help answer that question.

Berenika & I had a wonderful time visiting České Budějovice and the University of South Bohemia and talking a bit about the research on Tanimbar 🙌 Thank you so much @laniusondrej.bsky.social for the great experience and hosting us 🙏
It was great to finally host @mohara.bsky.social and @bmioduszewska.bsky.social in our department and to finally see each other after a while. #GoffinLabTanimbar was on a short visit to the Czech Republic! 🦜🐦🌴 😎

Anyone interested in doing research in Indonesia?
The Indonesian National Institute for Research and Innovation (BRIN) has an open call for visiting researcher positions.
Deadline is 22.11., but I think these calls will be recurring annually.
