Back from the #SFECA #conference at @uparisnanterre.bsky.social! Grateful for the opportunity to present our work on wild #Goffins 🙏 It was an inspiring event filled with diverse research, a welcoming vibe, and great food/conversations – simply the French l’art de vivre 🙂

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 👍

Why did some birds evolve to be so clever? Mark O'Hara & Berenika Mioduszewska took on the challenge of studying wild Goffin's cockatoos on a small Indonesian island.
Their exciting findings help answer that question.

Five white Goffin's cockatoos sit on various branches of a small tree with large green leaves. They have cute, big eyes and quite small beaks. They are about the same size as the leaves.

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.
More information: manajementalenta.brin.go.id
