CASCB talk: Understanding and shaping group dynamics in heterogeneous classrooms by Jeanine Grütter

Positive group dynamics are fundamental for children’s healthy development. Feeling accepted and experiencing friendship are important predictors of children’s learning, mental health and identity development. However, many children experience discrimination due to their social group membership (e.g., immigrants or students with disabilities). Heterogenous classrooms provide important ... [more]

Animal Behavior Course

Part of weekly lecture series which started 13th of April, every Wednesday at 11:45-13:15 in R 611
This course will explore the fundamental principles that underline the evolution and mechanism of animal behavior. Animal behavior naturally crosses scales and disciplinary boundaries. This course will integrate our understanding of behavior with information from neuroscience, evolution, physiology, genetics, and the biology of complex systems. [more]

Editing for Wikipedia (by Achim Raschka)

PR Bootcamp
Wikipedia: who hasn’t heard of it? According to the Wikipedia page on Wikipedia, it’s the “largest and most-read reference work in history” and receives 2 billion unique visits per month. So if you want your science to reach the masses, Wikipedia might just be the world’s best stage. [more]

Linking social behavior to immune responses in African buffalo

Rado Seminar by Will Rogers
How an organism behaves socially can affect its lifespan, what pathogens it encounters, and even its physiological make-up. We wanted to understand how immune responses – a suite of important homeostatic mechanisms - handle stressors like social behavior, pathogens, and the environment among natural populations of African buffalo (Syncerus Caffer). We found that more socially central individuals ... [more]

CASCB talk: Hawkmoth neuroethology - from flower inspection to pattern recognition by Anna Stöckl

Insect visual systems perform remarkable feats, extending in sensitivity to dim starlight and rapidly processing complex temporal and spatial stimuli. Their output provides the basis for intricate locomotor control, as well as crucial behavioural decisions. This is exemplified by insect pollinators, which inspect and choose-between suitable flowers, using features such as colour, shape or patterns ... [more]

CASCB talk: The self-assembling horde: building functional structures on the move by Simon Garnier

A defining characteristic of army ants is the mobility of their colonies that relocate their massive populations sometimes every day, in search of new hunting grounds. That nomadic lifestyle is met with many logistical challenges posed by the complex and unpredictable terrains of the tropical forests these ants inhabit. In response, they have evolved the ability to build temporary support ... [more]

CASCB talk: Neurogenetics of social affiliation in zebrafish by Johannes Larsch

Many species live in groups and affiliate with conspecifics upon sensory detection and processing of social information. However, investigating sensory processing during social behavior is inherently difficult because in most cases, the mutual interactions between individuals and the resulting sensory experience are beyond experimental control.We investigate affiliation pathways in juvenile ...

Getting Published & Understanding Peer Review

Learning to write and respond to reviewers' comments are vital skills for early-career researchers to master if they wish to become established scientists. However, these skills are often neglected, forcing researchers to learn them by trial and error. By learning to address reviewers' comments, young researchers not only increase their chances of getting their work published but also learn to ... [more]

The Neurophysics of Locomotion (submodule: C. elegans locomotion in environments with different physical properties)

Summer School
Locomotion is intimately connected to the substrate on or in which it occurs. A swimmer in a liquid environment with drag needs to perform different strokes to effectively move its body than a walker on a hard surface. Using the roundworm C. elegans as a model, we will explore the interaction between the nervous system, muscular contractions and different substrates of locomotion in 2D and 3D ... [more]
