Researcher day with the Beijer laboratories. Here: Elin Hernlund, my fellow Beijer researcher in the laboratory for animal science, talking about her models of shape and posture of domestic animals.
Vice Chancellor Maria Knutson Wedel, SLU, opening the first "studium generale", a series of meetings on knowledge--I suppose--and reflection.
Going home from Borlänge and Högskolan Dalarna after Priyanka Mehra's PhD defence--an exciting full day of theoretical genetics and computational modelling. du.diva-portal.org/smash/record...
I like this, and my only additional wish would be the Tübingen feature that a Wir sind Helden song starts playing when the time is up. #eseb2025
Ida Hansson defending her PhD on social interactions and the scope for indirect genetic effects in dairy cattle at SLU. Right this moment, she is deep in discussion with the external review, Martin Lidauer from Luke, Finland.
PhD candidate Mohammed Sallam and external reviewer Christine Baes discussing the role of machine learning in trait recording for animal breeding.
Mohammed Sallam's PhD thesis, "Digital and genetic tools to improve bones of laying hens", is public and nailed to the wall as tradition dictates. As an assistant supervisor, collaborator and laying hen bone enthusiast, I couldn't be happier. The defence is March 7. www.slu.se/en/ew-calend...
Enjoying a wide variety of talks about genomics of reproduction at the conference of the Centre for Reproductive Biology in Uppsala. Here: Carl-Johan Rubin on sex determination in flatfish.
