It turns out...Komodo dragons have iron-coated teeth!

Their serrations and tips pop into the mouth with an orange hue. Using different techniques, we show that these iconic lizards have special iron-rich coatings on each tooth, keeping them razor sharp!

Happy to share our new study on the preen oil of pied flycatchers @IBIS_journal!
We analysed the composition of #preenoil and found that it contains #chemical information that could be used for #olfactory communication 🐦

To be nominated by the Master's students for the Karl Peter Grotemeyer Prize 2022 for outstanding teaching at @unibielefeld kind of feels like being nominated for an Oscar. And if this was not awesome enough, they also made a surprise out of it. So proud and honoured. Danke!!! 🥰
