In good German tradition, Ulrike receives a hat depicting the essential ingredients of her grad student life when she is awarded her PhD.
Anne-Kristin Lenz, first PhD graduating from the lab (June 2024). Anne's hat features a pitcher in a pram, a spring-trap, and a leaf-shaped diveboard, along with loads of drop-shedding leaves.
Michal Golos' hat has all things giant: a giant pitcher peristome (trap rim), a giant squid, and a gigantic mess of samples and lab utensils.
Oona Lessware's hat is all about development. (Well, and about mushrooms.) Because it is hard to see all the details while Oona is wearing her hat, we have added another picture that shows just the hat in all its glory.
Oona's hat features a series of developing Nepenthes pitchers, lots of colourful mushrooms, some genuine fossilised shark's teeth, and - invisible here - an adventurous "wild swimmer" inside the central pitcher trap.
