Exceptionally promising. This is how an Arctic top researcher describes a probe that three engineer students have developed during a bachelor's project in collaboration with the Department of Mechanics and Production and the Department of Biology at Aarhus University. In autumn 2021, the probe passed the ultimate test under extreme Arctic conditions.

Associate Professor Philip Francis Thomsen has just received the prestigious Sapere Aude grant of DKK 6 million from the Independent Research Foundation. Based on DNA traces on insects up to 100 years old, he will investigate how the decline in flowers may have affected bees and butterflies.
