Separating from my comparative beetle collection for the next few months or maybe years?..not sure how I can do taxonomy without it, since I use it almost daily 😬

From the 1st of March I am joining the Entomology team of the Natural History Museum Vienna as a curator. I feel very blessed with that job opportunity and I am looking forward to spend my future in Austria!

In our newest paper we increase the number of Adoretus in #Cambodia from 3 to 19 species including several #new #species. Check our paper here: srbe-kbve.be/cm/sites/defau…

From today on my position as #taxonomist #entomologist and #curator @NHM_Wien is permanent! A major career step for me! Looking forward to many exciting years in this fantastic institution! 🔬🪲🐞
