It was a pleasure to co-organize with @allysonsgro.bsky.social Junior Scientist Workshop on Theoretical Biophysics at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social. We had great lectures and tutorials on theoretical approaches used to understand biological phenomena. Can't wait for the 2026 iteration, stay tuned.

Very glad that Albin Salazar is joining my research group
as a postdoctoral fellow where his goal is to wed multi-level paradigms with multi-scale data integration to elucidate mechanistic behaviors pertinent in diverse foraging scenarios.😄 Welcome on board Albin

Proud of my PhD student @rodento.bsky.social for her first study on the effect of environmental structure on social phenotype of desert locusts.
An amazing collaboration with @einatcouzin.bsky.social , who got me to work on locusts.

Can one bring together Reinforcement learning and Drift Diffusion models to understand collective foraging ?
Congrads to Jonathan Marienhagen , Lisa Blum Moyse and Dominik Deffner on this new study. Very happy that I was part of this collaboration.
