Absolutely brilliant. Such a big achievement and so hugely deserved. Well done Loeske - the kids and I are very proud of you!
Congratulations @LoeskeKruuk on your election as a Fellow of the Royal Society @royalsociety ! Loeske's research focuses on evolutionary and ecological processes in wild animal populations, in particular in response to climate change. https://t.co/W3Wg57LNFg
