I am super happy to tell that I was offered a position at the Institute for Zoology at University of Cologne! So I will have the opportunity to start my own group (#WaldvogelLab) focusing on Ecological and Population Genomics. Look forward to more exciting Chironomus-research but also expect some initial project with rotifers as my additional model organism in spe.

I estimated the CO2 footprint of me and my family (husband and son sharing the same household). Testing several different apps, I found OneTonneFuture (early access, Vattenfall AB) to allow for the most accurate estimate.
Accordingly, we are emitting 6.1 ton of CO2 per year - almost meeting the recommended level of 2.03 tons per person.
BUT my son is only 1 year old and his emission rate will rise, AND we would like to have a bigger flat, AND AND AND...

I would be curious to share ideas about how everyone of us can reduce CO2 emissions.
