Excited to start my residency at the KLI today. For the next few months, I'll be writing-up a project on reinforcement learning and the operational foundations of agency, with a special focus on its ecological validity and underlying philosophy of control.

✨Delighted that NnCR’s own Qiuran Wang (@slimyleaf.bsky.social) will be hosting a keynote symposium on mapping theoretical and experimental perspectives on non-neural cognition, together with the excellent Margherita Bianchi and Leonardo Bich.

Slime molds eat the microbes on decaying plants but not the microbes on decaying animals. Badhamia (Physarum) polycephala is an unusually adventurous eater who also enjoys mushrooms, oats, and probably a number of other things!

I wonder what's up with the peanut

This week @universitypress.cambridge.org has granted free access to all titles in the collection of Cambridge Elements in the Philosophy of Biology, edited by Grant Ramsey. There are many options to choose from! Happy reading! 📕👇 www.cambridge.org/core/publica... #philsci #HPbio #evosky #ISHPSSB2025

Niels Gaspers from our lab team is presenting NNcRs first poster and preliminary results at @rldmdublin2025.bsky.social 🍀

Having a ball in Berlin listening to Ida Momennejad give a beautiful talk on redefining intelligence through ecology

unfortunately we couldn’t use this sample for the analysis in the end, but we think it’s a neat demonstration of some strategic ways physarum polycephalum can make foraging decisions ✨

(hint: speed up/slow down the recording to try and figure out what the slime mould might be thinking 💭)

started to analyse some pilot data this week - a beautiful and painful experience with our dear slime mould #slimecam

testing, testing… #slimecam #slimemould #slimemold
