We welcome our first scientific employee, Simon Moesch. Simon already joined the Urban Ecology and Biodiversity working group in January. Previously, he did his PhD with the title "Wild mammals and urbanities: Investigating human perceptions of urban wildlife and their management to foster human-wildlife coexistence" at Humbolt-Unversität Berlin in cooperation with Freie Universität Berlin and the Leibniz Institute for zoo and wildlife research. We look forward to working together.
