Masters of the abyss

Nesrine Akkari (3rd Zoological Department, NHM Vienna)

Do millipedes really have a thousand legs? Myriapods are the leggiest terrestrial group of animals, the first to conquer land some hundred million years ago, and Nesrine Akkari's passion and research focus. She will tell her personal story of how she became fascinated by myriapods that live in even the deepest caves of this planet, and will give us insight into her daily life as a researcher and curator.
