We would like to thank our collaborator, D^r Steven Smith from the University of Vienna (https://www.vetmeduni.ac.at/en/konrad-lorenz-institute-of-ethology/about-us/our-team/smith-steven/) for hosting Sandrine Zahn in his laboratory (16 – 28th May) to work on the measure of telomerase activity by Droplet Digital qPCR in mammal and bird’s species.

Congratulation

Congratulations to Prof. Steve Dobson (http://www.auburn.edu/cosam/faculty/biology/dobson/) who gets an USIAS fellowship from the University of Strasbourg to stay at the IPHC for two years working on social stress and fitness in mammals.

We hosted for one day two students from Fabrice Helfenstein’s research group (University of Neuchâtel), Magali Meniri and Ségolène Humann-Guilleminot to discuss collaborations on ageing patterns in bats and house sparrow based on telomere measurements in sperm, and on sociality and ageing co-evolution in ground-squirrels (future postdoc co-application).
