Episode 7 Episodes list Episode 9

What are (eu)social insects? What is it like to work with them? In this episode, Huizi talks with three researchers, Stephan, Mélanie, and Silu, from the University of Freiburg, to learn about their experiences. These researchers use social insects to study various topics, including evolution, chemical communication, and longevity. We will learn all about their projects, what it's like to be in the tropics collecting insects, and their own personal journey that brought them to this field. If you want to know more about their work, check out the link to their department and their lab.
