Biography

Katrin Böhning-Gaese was born on the 22nd December 1964 in Oberkochen, Germany. She initially studied biology as an undergraduate at the University of Tübingen. She gained her PhD in 1993 from the same University on following research into of white stork food ecology in Upper Swabia and causes of long-term stock development in European and North American songbirds.[1] She held the title of Professor of ecology at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz in 2001.

Her main research interests include the influence of global climate change and human land use change on animal populations in tropical and temperate areas of the world and evolution of bird communities and bird migration.[2] In addition to research work she also teaches students in the MSc Ecology and Evolution and BSc Biology courses at Goethe University Frankfurt since 2010.[2]

Since November 2017 she has been the Vice-President of the Leibniz Association.[3] She is also a member of the governing board of the Senckenberg Nature Museum.[4]

gollark: The reason you're likely seeing that is because the potatOS Broadcast Tower/Rednet Repeater periodically sends out the entire source code of potatOS.
gollark: Every time any rednet message at all is sent from an "unapproved ID", it replies with that.
gollark: nothjaran, late response:
gollark: Does that work even if you're not on?
gollark: Which then just needs a hopper or something.
