It was a cozy fit getting everyone into the office at the Goffin lab HQ but we managed for some fantastic talks by @theroesa.bsky.social 🐦 @thibhly.bsky.social 🐊 and Lona Lalić 🥰

Thanks to all of our members who joined the 28,000 folks today to protest the massive proposed university budget cuts in Austria ✊🏻 It was hot as hell thanks to the heat dome, but it’s critically important that we protect higher education at all costs 📚

- defended my master's thesis👊 - graduated with honours🎓 - officially started my PhD at the Kea Lab @vetmeduni, researching innovation in kea🦜 - moved into the ugliest flat in Vienna (let's go Favoriten!) with the most bizarre design choices (rainbow kitchen🌈) apparently all in one week??

Ze Frank is the best, and "the Goffin's cockatoos make the New Caledonian crows look like Old Caledonian crows" (this it's an actual comment on YouTube!) Don't miss this video about our work at the Goffin Lab (and the Tanimbar Lab!) "I've seen a cockatoo. I've seen a cockatoo 🤘"
