To my fellow workaholics, especially early-careers; an unsolicited advice: Take care of your body & mind. Step away from the desk & make time for friendships that will carry you through the toughest moments & celebrate the best ones. Your work will be better when YOU are better!

My research filling up the knowledge gap 🙂

Can’t wait!

Huge congratulations to Martha Ulina Siregar on her first first-author paper, just accepted in Animals! I know how much work, dedication, and persistence went into this achievement. Your growth as a researcher has been remarkable, and I couldn’t be prouder of your progress!
