- PhD Researcher in Biology, Vrije Universiteit Brussel
From the molecular to the most majestic of biological marvels, I have always been driven to understand the “why” behind the whimsical. That’s how I ended up at the Amphibian Evolution Lab (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) with a mission to investigate a strange but little-known phenomenon: frog glue. Together with her trusty companion, Bob the Tomato Frog, the two of us are on a quest to unravel the enduring mysteries of what makes these creatures so incredibly sticky.
