On Wednesday afternoon, Jahangir Vajedsamiei graduated with highest distinction possible, i.e., Summa Cum Laude
on the “The neglected role of environmental fluctuations as modulator of stress”

This makes me more than proud and its so nice to see how well Jahan has taken up new and challenging concepts in ecology. A great contribution to the field on how we may predict the impacts from environmental thermal variability in a climate change context.

I was able to only join the celebration online while some of the participants of the oral defense could convene afterwards if presenting a fresh and negative covid-19 test result (the new normal?)
