Happening today, folks! I'm hearing great things about this meeting from them. I wish I could be there but if you're already there, please attend and give us some feedback. This is a project that makes a big leap from another discipline that we really are not experts on. So we'd appreciate feedback!
If you're at #behaviour2025, please check out Pritha Ghosh's talk tomorrow (Fri) at 7 pm! Pritha and A. Biswas from my lab have been a dream team on this project, which has a special place in my heart. See: mandalabodyssey.blogspot.com/2025/06/reme...
