This month, we celebrate the two year mark! To celebrate, we enjoyed a delightful cake (thanks Anna!) alongside lovely coffee - accompanied by ever important discussions of current events, travels, and conferences. Here is to another fantastic year and the further growth of the beautiful team that has come to flourish! Cheers!

During our research retreat in Monschau, Eifel national park, the group focused on planning ambitious research targets.

February is here, winter is just behind us, and spring is ahead - and now Daniel Vedder is with us! 

During the British Ecological Society meeting in Edinburgh, December 15-18th, 2025, Anna had the chance to share the work and results that the team has achieved over the last year.

Our teams very own Anna was present in Düsseldorf, on the 5th of December, 2025, when the German Sustainability Award (DNP) ceremony was being held. The DNP honors pioneering contributions for creating a transformation towards a more sustainable future. It uses leading examples to demonstrate how ecological and social progress can be achieved more efficiently and with speed in mind. The award aims to motivate all key players to embrace change, while also connecting them across borders and simultaneously promoting the cultivation of valuable partnerships.

We’re thrilled to announce that Max Siversten has officially become the first PhD student in our lab!

A true ecologist, with passion and love for nature in its rawest form, Ryo has transitioned to the next stages of his own personal journey, seeing himself off to the great down under.

Crisp autumn air, a forest floor carpeted in fiery hues of fallen leaves, and jolly cheer aplenty.
