Over the years I’ve been prioritising spending more time at schools and small meetings than large conferences and the beautiful @tulip-gs-labex.bsky.social justifies it. Brilliant interactions with enthusiastic early career researches and deeper discussions with instructors. Thanks for the invite!

For many animals, adaptation means survival. In order to learn with minimal risk, some species use safe spaces. @gokhalecs.bsky.social and Dharanish Rajendra describe the math behind this behaviour in the latest edition of @royalsocietypublishing.org. ➡️ www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-...
