Tobias Bölscher – new postdoc

Hi everyone!
My name is Tobias and I am a new postdoc working with Per Persson. My research interest is in soil organic matter decomposition and in my current project we focus on root exudation and mineral-bound organic matter. We aim to understand mechanism through which root exudates destabilize bonds between minerals and organic matter. Mineral-organic matter bonding in soils is an important mechanism protecting organic matter from microbial decomposition. During my PhD at SLU in Uppsala, I have studied thermodynamic and carbon-use efficiency of microbial communities.

You will probably not see me much in Lund during the first two years of my project, because I am conducting most of my experimental work at University of Massachusetts Amherst in the USA. However, I am looking forward to meet you during shorter visits and in the final year of my project. You will probably see me then arriving on my bike as I am a huge cycling enthusiast.

Esther Nobs-Lindau – new PhD student

Hi everyone!

My name is Esther and I’m a new Ph.D. student in Fredric Carlsson’s group where we are looking at mycobacterial interactions with macrophages. Our aim is to gain insights into the disease pathogenesis of tuberculosis. I have a master’s degree in biomedicine (Lund University) and my current project will be an extension from my one year master’s project also performed in Fredric Carlsson’s group.

I was born and raised in Helsingborg, just north of Lund, but I am currently living in Malmö. I am a big fan of traveling and wild life experiences, as well as a slow Sunday breakfast with a tricky cross-word.

Hope to meet you all soon!

/Esther

Colin Olito – new postdoc

Hello, my name is Colin Olito, and I am a new postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Jessica K. Abbott’s group. I was born and raised in Alaska, but my academic life has taken me, and my family, around the world.

Although I have a background in evolutionary ecology, I underwent a bit of a metamorphosis into a theoretical population geneticist during my PhD. My main research interests include sexually antagonistic selection, the evolution of hermaphrodite mating and sexual systems, sex chromosome evolution, and the population genetic factors driving major evolutionary transitions in flowering plants.

I’m excited to be a part of this vibrant ecology and evolutionary biology department here at Lund, and hopefully starting some new collaborations. My family and I are also looking forward to exploring the Swedish wilderness, so any camping and hiking advice is most welcome. See you at fika!

Katrine Lund-Hansen – new postdoc

Hi! Some of you might recognise me from my many stays here during my PhD with my suitcase full of flies. However, I’ll be here more permanently this time as a postdoc with Jessica Abbott continuing the work from my PhD.

I did my PhD with Ted Morrow at University of Sussex with the main focus on sexual antagonism and its impact on sex chromosomes in Drosophila melanogaster. I did two main projects, one long-term evolution experiment still ongoing in Jessica’s lab and a shorter evolution experiment looking at coevolution between the sex chromosomes.

Rebecca Roberts – new postdoc

Hej, I’m Rebecca (but please call me Bec) and I’m a new postdoc working with Martin N. Andersson in the Pheromone Group. I just moved to Lund from the Sunshine Coast in Australia. Last year I finished my PhD at the University of the Sunshine Coast, where I studied olfactory receptors in the Crown-of-thorns starfish, which is a major pest on the Great Barrier Reef. Here in Lund I’ll be working on the evolution and function of olfactory receptors in beetles, which are pests in the beautiful Swedish forests.

Spexig avtackning

Två leende personer står och tittar på varandra. En håller en mikrofon i handen.
Thomas Alerstam var en av de som ville tacka Anne.

Snart går Anne Fogelberg i pension. Igår fylldes Ekologihusets foajé med folk som ville visa sin uppskattning och tacka Anne för hennes nästan tio år på institutionen. Sedan december 2008 har hon arbetat som forskningsadministratör, först på (mer …)
