In May, we presented our first Leeswinst and Leeskans results at an international conference in Switzerland. Our lab contributed with a talk by Milene Bonte and two poster presentations by researchers Fiona Borská, Chiara Turri, and Leandra Zinke. Our projects’ findings sparked the interest of colleagues working on closely related topics. Their input will be very useful for further analyzing our data in the coming months.
