Summer stipends from UiO:Life Science:
Students in full swing doing research projects

67 students will work on research projects this summer and fall. At the Natural History Museum, bachelor’s degree student Marius F. Maurstad is studying beetles at the molecular level to understand how climate change affects prevalence and evolution, and in a worst-case scenario, extinction of species – a dream job, in his opinion.

We wish the students good luck with their projects.

We also wish the readers of our newsletter a nice summer!
