Lucia at animal flight lab















Lucia is celebrated each year on 13th December, with a choir consisting of Lucia herself (wearing candles in the hair), terns, staffans, nomes and other creatures. This year Lucia did not show up at the Biology Department, but the traditional beverages and ginger cookies were consumed as usual. Also members of the flight lab participated in the celebrations, taking a break from a brain-storming activity during the weekly lab-meeting. What should we like a new PIV-system to do for us? - that is the question.

CAnMove 2nd conference

During two days members of CAnMove have attanded the 2nd conference, whith invited talks given by various canmovians, including PhD-students, postdocs, seniors and two members of the Scientific Advisory Board. Marilyn Ramenofsky talked about her work on physiological adaptations to the annual cycles, using two populations the white-crowned sparrow, while Steven Reppert gave an overview about his lab's work monarch butterfly migration (see picture). The Animal Flight lab was well represented and gave two presentations (Christoffer and Anders). During the conference we also discussed how to further improve the activities within CAnMove, and how to facilitate even better research. It was a great meeting and now we just have to dig into it and move forward!
