Since 2019, I have been working as an assistant in different scientific projects. My first step in science began with studying bird’s ability to use astronomical cues during their migration. Diving deeper in orientation and navigation features I realised that I’m particularly interested in another adjacent issue – magnetoreception. And after finishing my first project on astronomical cues, I have taken up this case as a member of MagBBB already. My new project was about the light dependency of magnetic compass in birds, which was well-investigated but still remain controversial issue. This topic turned into my bachelor thesis and gave me valuable experience to become an independent researcher. I hope it let me help our team to make a contribution in understanding how birds use magnetic information for their migration.
