Hello future BIO299 student! My name is Julie Helene Eriksen and I have just spent most of my time this semester analysing pollen grains for this course. This might sound like a tiresome task, but in reality, it has given me great joy. Conducting experiments can be very time consuming, […]

As many others interested in pollinators, my field of interest used to be mostly focused on bees, bumblebees and, to a much lesser degree, wasps. When I was assigned the task of investigating the diversity, abundance and phenology of hoverflies in Hardanger, I must admit my slight skepsis as to […]

When I first started studying molecular biology at the University of Bergen, I quickly realized that I was missing some field work from my bachelor. This jump started my interest for general biology. It also made me question what I really wanted to work with. Unsure of my academic path, […]

Som mange andre biologistudenter hadde jeg en gang ambisjoner om å bli en mester i felt-arbeid utendørs: Stegvis dypere inn i jungelen med machete i den ene hånden og lupe i den andre, for å oppdage nye arter og undersøke dem. Men det skulle være en annen jungel jeg endte […]
