Basically a post doc

Neeeee, das ist so auch nicht wirklich besser... 🤬 #IchBinHanna forschung-und-lehre.de/politik/bmbf-s…

New ant biomechanics paper, led by Cristian Klunk and Alexandre Casadei-Ferreira. We use FEA to test if ants at the edge of morphospace are under particular biomechanical constraints. #ants #biomechanics #FEA onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

Three of the most terrifying graphs on the internet right now.

So, it's not only the "poor man's tropical rainforest", but actually THE biodiversity-hotspot.. I'm repeating myself, but: Let's dig in the dirt! ;-)

Vielen Dank für die klaren und notwendigen Worte.

Our poster about using AI in Entomology on the #WET2023 in Düsseldorf with Thomas van de Kamp

#YRMM24 is starting at beautiful TU Darmstadt. Organized by Sebastian 'sib' Schmelzle and Michael Heethoff 📯 @[email protected]. We look forward to an amazing meeting on #Morphology.

Please RT! Only two days until the application deadline.

Ant mandible cuticle varies in its mechanical properties and shows heterogeneity in transition metal accumulation, with consequences to stress distribution. Thanks Michael Heethoff 📯 @[email protected], Wencke Krings, Stas Gorb and Jörg Hammel for this incredible collaboration. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
