About

That’s me…

I am Cari, postdoc at the University of Basel in Switzerland. I spent a lot of time in Zambia to collect my data. My goal is to find out more about the explorative behaviour of cichlid fishes in Lake Tanganyika. Sounds weird? Read my blog posts to find out why this is the most amazing job!

Field trips to Zambia are always unpredictable and full of adventures. This year I will go back to my favourite continent twice, to Tanzania and to Zambia, both countries border Lake Tanganyika, one of the largest lakes in the whole world. Be part of my adventures and take a look behind the scenes of doing field research in Africa.
