Join EMPSEB 31 and Dr Jonathan Henshaw to explore the avian biodiversity of Oberwiesenthal!
Jonathan, despite being a theoretician by training, is no stranger to some naturalism. With most European birds identified even by their calls, his casual birding skills would surprise even a professional.

Excited for the evo-devo presentations!🧬
🎙️ Our final keynote is Dr. Abderrahman Khila from the Institute of Functional Genomics. Lyon, France.
Using tools from transcriptomics to epigenetics, he studies how genes and development interact with selection to shape phenotypes.
Our keynote lineup is complete!🧬✨

🏔️ EMPSEB31 is heading to the mountains!
This year we’ll meet in Oberwiesenthal, Germany (8–12 June 2026), a quiet mountain town in the Ore Mountains, right on the Czech border. Think forest trails, open skies, and fresh air.
Join us for a week of science and fun!🌿

🦋 Ever thought about the artist behind those naturalist illustrations? Maria Sibylla Merian, a 17th-century German naturalist, worked when women were rarely recognized in science. Her timeless art now represents EMPSEB31 in the spirit of curiosity and observation! ✨🔍
