Hi all,
 
Next Friday, Ilze Brila will be finishing her PhD with her defence, a journey that started at the University of Oulu in 2018, before moving to Jyväskylä with Phill Watts' group in 2019 where the defence will now take place (though officially still via the Univ. of Oulu).
 
If those that remember her from back in the day or know her otherwise wish to contribute to the gift collection in Jyväskylä, please find the details below.
 
For those interested in the dissertation "Metals, pathogens, and islands. How the environment shapes the gut microbiota of wild bank voles" or following the defence via Zoom, see here: https://www.oulu.fi/en/theses/metals-pathogens-and-islands-how-environment-shapes-gut-microbiota-wild-bank-voles
