🚨 Master’s project!
Curious how birds find their way? 🧭🐦
Analyze decades of ringing data to study abnormal migratory routes and uncover what these deviations can reveal about the mechanisms guiding birds on their journeys. Drop me an email for details! #ornithology

Up with the fishermen this morning. An absolutely incredible paddle despite occasionally getting caught in their wake.
An open fishing yawl with one person in it zooms across the glassy water in the dim peach coloured light of sunrise. The dark wave of the wake of a boat closes in on the bow of a blue kayak. The wave is dark against the peach coloured light of the morning sky before sunrise.

The 3-decade-old competition that enabled the emergence and evaluate of AlphaFold has run out of NIH funding.

The program will be terminated in weeks.

This is terminating success.
