Last day at @nhmwien.bsky.social today, looking at all their big cats. Massive thanks to Frank & Alex in the mammal collection for hosting me! Glad I also got to explore beautiful Vienna while I was here 😊

For my current project, I’ve been rummaging (gently) around the collections of large cats at the @mfnberlin.bsky.social. There’s some really exciting stuff there, from ancient labels to named zoo cats and interesting pathologies. Big thanks to the people here for the opportunity & their support! 🐯🦁🐆

It’s a disgrace is what it is. And so very senseless. People who make (big) decisions should at the very least attempt to understand what they are making decisions about and the impact those decisions will have on people other than themselves.
Excited to share that I’ve started as Associate Professor at the Technical University of Denmark! 🧑🎓
