Curious about or committed to collective behavior? Please register and submit your abstract ASAP! We are hoping to have a big crowd in Heidelberg in February.
Have you submitted your abstract for #EESCollectivity? No? It's about time! This new event will discuss how collective behaviours arise from fundamental principles across biological systems, from cells to animal groups. 🦠🐾

One more flight until the moon, cheese, and I are all home!

I am on hold with the IRS and the representative has “picked up” so I’m out of the queue but isn’t responding. Lost 30 minutes in line.
After three hours waiting last night to find out I was routed to the wrong department.

PSA for others who are also immunosuppressed and interested in trying mNexSpike: flagging you are immunosuppressed and getting a confirmation saying you’re scheduled for mNexSpike is insufficient to guarantee that’s what’s in the syringe. Check and ask for what you want!

The take home message from this piece is that they shot a... Dictyostelium scene for Spinal Tap & it remained on the cutting room floor!
