…on March 9 – 12, 2015.

Malika Ihle just finished her PhD at Max Plank Institute of Ornithology in Seewiesen (Germany) – congratulations! In her thesis Malika focused on benefits of mate choice and extra-pair behavior in the zebra finch. For more information check her website!

– a ‘workshop’ or authorised snow-day recently taken by the Kokkonuts. Our goal: Big Pintenfritz, at 15km the longest sledding run in Europe (and possibly The World)!
We started from Grindelwald – dwarfed by the Alps – ascended via cable car to First, and hauled our trusty toboggans another 2.5 hours up to Faulhorn. And it was all downhill from there, in the best possible sense.

Kokkonuts moved to Zurich!

We settled down successfully and the group is growing, slowly, but constantly. Visitors are always welcome, and these were our first ones in the new location:

Malika Ihle from the Max Plank Institute for Ornithology in Seewiesen (Germany) visited on October 27 – November 2, 2014.
