Many thanks to Lloyd Peck for visiting Bielefeld to give the Immelmann Lecture (http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/biologie/animalbehaviour/immelmann.html) on ‘Living Life in Extremes: Adaptations of Antarctic Marine Species’. Not only did he give a truly inspirational seminar, but he also gave an outstanding workshop on science communication for the students of the Department of Animal Behaviour. We look forward to seeing him again!
