Congrats to our intern Tas Vamos for receiving funding from the Undergraduate Research Assistant Scheme from the University of St Andrews. Tas is working on a project that is examining the neural basis of social learning using zebra finches.
Picture of Karen Hollis delivering the Master Lecture at the 23rd International Conference on Comparative Cognition. Karen was this years recipient of the CCS Research Award. It was a fantastic afternoon and evening during which we honoured Karen. I organized a symposium just prior to her Master Lecture that included contributions from her current collaborators Elise Nowbahari (Paris 13) and Nacho Loy (Orviedo), her PhD supervisor Bruce Overmier (Minnesota), former colleagues from her Oxford days David Sherry (U Western Ontario) and Sue Healy (St Andrews) and her former student, me!
Congrats Karen, well deserved. Also, thanks for being SO MUCH FUN during your Roast at the Conference Banquet! Check out our new paper on nest-building behaviour in birds by (first time!) first author Alexis Breen.
This paper appears in Comparative Cognition & Behaviour Reviews which is an open-access society journal for the Comparative Cognition Society. You can access the paper here. |
