Presentation of Tomasz Kozlowski
Claude Lévi-Strauss* once said: “The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he’s one who asks the right questions.” According to this definition I have been a scientist since the age of five, when I could torture my mom for hours with never-ending questions about everything. To these days (mer …)

Mikael Jönsson – a familiar face on a new position
My name is Mikael Jönsson and I am a post doc in Lund Vision Group since the first of November. I did my undergraduate studies in biology in Lund and Gothenburg and moved on to doctorial studies at Lund University. I defended my PhD-thesis, which deals with effects of visual conditions on foraging in fish, in Aquatic Ecology during spring 2012. Now, I am moving towards cell-biology and my current research project deals with the early development of fish eyes and adaptations to extreme light conditions in arctic fish.
Från adventskalender till DNA-analys – allt är möjligt på ett museum

Presentation of Elin Sild – a new researcher at our department
My name is Elin Sild and I come from Tartu University in Estonia. I defended my PhD thesis ”Oxidative defences in immunoecological context: validation and application of assays for nitric oxide production and oxidative burst in a wild passerine” last year. My supervisor for both my master and PhD thesis has been excellent prof Peeter Hörak. After defending I worked as a researcher in Tartu University and now I have started to work here, in Lund University as a researcher. My main research interests are in the fields of immunoecology, oxidative stress, carotenoid signals and I have mainly been working with passerine birds. Here in Lund University I will be part of the project studing the effects of oxidative stress on learning ability of Zebrafinches.
