Turns out, pigeons are way more interesting than your average street critter. Their ability to navigate has been known and used by people for centuries, but we still don't know how they are able to sense the earth's magnetic fields. Greg Nordmann (@GregNordmann) is a PhD student in the lab of David Keays (@keays_lab) at the IMP in Vienna (@IMPvienna), where he is trying to answer this question, by studying the pigeon brain's response to magnetic stimuli.

Ep. 13: Negative Results to Positive Interactions with Dr Bernhard Hochreiter
Dr Bernhard Hochreiter combines biology and physics to study how the proteins in our cells behave and interact with each other. In this episode, we talk about what it's like to be straddling multiple disciplines, and discuss the issue of how negative results are rarely published. Bernhard recently completed his PhD in the lab of Johannes Schmid, at the Institute of Vascular Biology and Thrombosis Research, which is part of the Medical University of Vienna (@MedUni_Wien).
