Today, we would like to introduce our PhD student, Kat Van der Poorten!
Back in Belgium after traveling the world! She is an autistic evolutionary biologist intrigued by all things ‘language’.
Follow her on Bluesky to learn more about her work: @kathetgedacht.bsky.social
We develop evolutionary models to understand how living organisms adapt - from antibiotic resistance to human language evolution.
Mathematician Hannah Fry travels to the front lines of AI in her new BBC documentary AI Confidential with Hannah Fry. She talks to Bethan Ackerley about what the technology is doing to us – for better and for worse
Over het verschil tussen communicatie en taal, en waarom we nooit Protulees zullen spreken.
#paper How do organisms adapt to changing environments? Through plasticity, evolution, or a combination of both?
Find out in our new paper by Alger Jorritsma, where we show which strategies evolve under different environmental conditions. @journal-evo.bsky.social
