Exciting data and talks

Now I have 4 papers in the pipeline, one has had its revision and we should get the final decision soon.
To become even better, I registered for an academic writing course and luckily got a place. There I will use a manuscript that shall be submitted soon - all data analysis is done and literature reviewed. So hope the course helps me to polish the language even better.
Good news also from the MAD organisers. My abstract for the conference convinced them to give me a talk slot, instead of presenting "just" a poster. And on the same day we got some cool new data that I will present at the meeting during my talk then! The story comes more and more complete - thanks to Misha and the incredible noctuids - fascinating creatures for deciphering neural circuits.

We also finished data gathering and processing for another project and now I can focus on data analysis. Good timing 'cause there are a range of statistic courses going on this autumn - more on the use of the software STATA but still valuable to refresh concepts and discuss approaches with colleagues - and learn from each other. Quite som synergy I expect from the next workshops - english writing and statistical courses.

We also finished debugging all surveys and experimental tasks, so today and the next weeks we will collect data for two Masterstudent projects and one Bachelor project.
