Jan, Shaun, and Julie before a bit of mid-day bubbly.
Massive congratulations to newly minted PhD Julie Nati on surviving her viva yesterday! Julie is from Luxembourg and joined our lab 4 years ago. She was co-supervised by Jan Lindström and her thesis was on the role of physiology in invasiveness in fish species. Not only did she complete an excellent thesis (one paper from the thesis published so far, here, and several others on the way) but she somehow survived being Shaun's first ever PhD student. Congrats Julie!
