We are most delighted that Dr George Kafetzis has just passed his viva!
For his PhD, George looked at the visual system of sharks to learn about the evolution of vertebrate vision. One preprint on the origin of the vertebrate eye is already out, and watch this space for some exciting shark papers !
Thank you also to Gaspar Jekely and Paul Graham for serving as examiners!
