It has been a while since the last updates, but the lab has been busy.
In January, we had a group dinner to celebrate the paper of Xin and Josef.

Also in January, we had Ilan Gronau from Reichman University visiting to give a HEAS genomics seminar, and to discuss ancient DNA, G-PhoCS and other things (unfortunately we forgot taking a photo).
The FWF released a nice article about the RNA virus project, and there was interest in the media as well, including Ö1 and Die Presse!
In March, Barbara started an internship on great ape museum viruses – exciting things to come!
Also in March, Mehmet Somel from the Middle East Technical University was paying a visit, also for the HEAS genomics seminar, meet people and discuss ongoing work. This time, with photo:

And finally, on 2nd of April I was invited by Elmira Mohandesan at the VetMed Vienna to give a Wilhelminenberg Seminar, which was very nice!

More things are coming up – stay tuned!
