As part of an ongoing collaboration between our research group and Tomas Brodin’s team at Umeå University, Minna Saaristo and Michael Bertram are currently working in Sweden investigating the impacts of pharmaceutical pollution on anxiety behaviour in European perch. While abroad, Michael has also presented a talk at the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) conference in Nantes and will present at the upcoming International Society for Behavioral Ecology (ISBE) conference in Exeter. In their spare time, Michael and Tomas have been out banding birds!
