Big milestone in Trondheim! On June 25th, Daniele Tacchio successfully defended his Master’s thesis with us at the el Jundi lab back at NTNU.
In his research, Daniele tackled a pretty fascinating question: How do non-migratory monarch butterflies actually orient themselves? He investigated if and how these butterflies use the Earth's magnetic field to find their way around.
But Daniele didn't just spend his time in the lab in Norway. He also showed some serious adventurous spirit. He headed out to Texas as a field assistant to study the world-famous monarch migration right where the action happens.
Huge congratulations on your Master’s degree, Daniele! 
Thank you so much for your hard work in the lab, your amazing efforts in the field, and for being such a great part of the team. We wish you all the very best for your next chapter - keep that research spirit alive!
