Experiment

I am off again to the research station, trying to find out how birds migrate, which cues they use ...
Keen on a Master project? The birds migrate in autumn as well, a helping hand in running the experiments is always welcome.

Bird migration

Well, one has to start with something, so despite all publish or perish pressure I spent time on my blog (installing it). The purpose will be to post thoughts on science ranging from bird migration to animal navigation and orientation in a very broad sense - covering evolution, neural mechanism, cognition, new method tools, and philosophical implications. My research interest is mirrored in my sport, I am actually enjoying orienteering, a very recreative natur-loving physical activity. Just like to be out "offroad" with a map, a compass, and depending on mood and season with bike, ski or just running shoes.
I have some ambitions for 2011:
on the science side to get a lot of papers published or through the pipeline.
On the sports-side is the adventure race offroadfinnmark the highlight.

So I keep you posted whenever I have a paper through the pipeline and or a story from a sports event.
