The aim of Swiss National Science Foundation Spark Grant is the rapid funding of projects that show unconventional thinking and introduce a unique approach. Max and Annika will be investigating behaviour and ecology in Lake Tanganyikan cichlids in collaboration with Walter Salzburger’s group at the Zoological Institute at the University of Basel.
