Hi, My name is Patrik Karell and I am an evolutionary ecologist from Finland. In August I brought my family with me and came to Lund University to work as a guest researcher here for a year. My aim is to collaborate with Staffan Bensch lab and Jan-Åke Nilsson’s lab within my Academy of Finland research fellowship project on tawny owls, colour polymorphism and adaptations to climate change.
Here in Lund we will together with postdoc Chiara Morosinotto focus mainly on lab work on tawny owl telomere dynamics and on development and implementation of a protocol to study ecological energetics and immunology of tawny owls under controlled conditions.
I am excited to be here in Lund to meet new people and learn more about what is going on here! …och jag är Finlandssvensk så svenska funkar bra!
See you around,
Patrik
