Media Coverage
Recent news from 2020 to May 2021
Our Institute upholds a commitment to the full and free disclosure of our research to the public. We take our decades-long tradition of public engagement and apply it to working with the media. Our scientists collaborate with journalists to tell compelling stories of our research. They also contribute expertise on topics of high societal importance, from biodiversity to climate change to zoonotic disease. Our aim is to increase the public understanding of science and to captivate audiences with the fascinating study of animal behavior.
Below are examples of recent pieces reported by journalists that feature the science and scientists of MPI-AB. Clips cover the period from 2020 until the end of the reporting period May 2021.
