Congratulations to Genn! After counting 29,000 and something mites over the last two years she successfully defended her Master thesis this week. She is now the new (and possible only) Master of Mites! Well done, we are so proud of you.
Live from the future of ecology…
…it’s being decided right now, right here in Zurich! But don’t fear! Diane is part of the discussion, so we’ll be alright.
Our artist in the lab
Genn is not only a great ecologist but also an amazing artist and she somehow manages to combine these talents: Check out the mighty mites!
Celebrating Christmas à la Srivastava Lab
This year we were lucky enough to celebrate the Holidays all together, just before Robin and Andrew leave for the field.
Thanks to Andrew and Angela for hosting a lovely -and delicious!- evening, thanks to Antonia and Angélica for documenting the event, to our lab mates with great musical talents, and to all the partners and family that joined us that day.
We missed Youhua (who couldn’t come that night), Pavel, Alathea, Melissa, Silvina, Martin/Mariana and of course crazy Jana. We toasted -with nothing else than chilean pisco!- for an upcoming year of good fieldwork, good science, and exciting new adventures for everybody.
Happy 2012 from the Srivastava Lab!
Bye bye Martin and Mariana!
It was great having you in the lab! Good luck with your new jobs in Argentina. Come back for a visit soon!
