CCE Seminar series - Dr Willem Frankhenhuis - ESGW 111 - inperson/online

Our next CCE seminar series talk is by Dr Willem Frankenhuis, titled "The evolution of plasticity and learning" Dr Willem Frankenhuis is an Associate Professor in the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics, University of Amsterdam. His research focuses on how individuals adapt to harsh and unpredictable environments, examining the development of cognitive abilities and decision-making strategies in such contexts. He has a particular interest in 'hidden talents' - skills that may be enhanced by adversity - and employs mathematical modelling to explore adaptive processes across different timescales, including development and learning. A light platter of food will be available for in person attendees from 12:45 in ESGW 111. The talk will start at 13:00.
