The dream of any supervisor :

To see the name of your student coining a new method / approach 😎

When the shout out comes from a leading expert in the field is even more rewarding

Way to go @mitibennett.bsky.social !

How did complex cognition evolve from cells to mammalian brains? What are the key evolutionary events that led to intelligent agents? What about the emergence of AI? Check out this superb book by Max Bennett @manlius.bsky.social
