Great to have Sandra Bouwhuis and her @commonternproject.bsky.social in our SFB team! Check out her latest outreach project:
Proud to present: Suitcase Science, a new outreach format containing 6 assignments to take on a journey to schools in the region, to teach kids about terns, how to study them, their fascinating behaviour and some of the things that threaten them. Wanna book us? Drop me a line. :-)

Meet Matteo!
Our new @sfb1372.bsky.social songbird orientation fellow
With a background in waterbirds, he is excited to dive deeper into migration research
Originally from 🇮🇹, he is strongly motivated to contribute to various research activities & firmly believes that lunch should never be rushed

We're excited to welcome Dr. Alina Sigaeva, a cell biologist, to SFB 1372👩🔬🙌
Her research explores how cells organize themselves, their architecture, stem cell differentiation, and the fascinating world of cryptochromes, where biology meets quantum mechanisms. 🔬
