Dr. Korinna AllhoffMay 1

Something BIG has happened. Dear academic world, it is my huge honour to introduce the freshly awarded Dr. Franziska Koch. 🍾🥂

Franzi was the first PhD student student in my #ecoevo #modelling team. Yesterday, she defended her thesis about „the paradox of the bryozoans“ with ease and glory. Congratulations, Franzi!!! 🙌 🥳🎉

@KorinnaAllhoff why do many European countries have so much better PHd traditions than the UK?

I don’t know. 🤷‍♀️ But what other traditions do you know? I would be curious to learn about them!

@KorinnaAllhoff In Finland they get a sword, presumably to actively defend their thesis.
