Jerome's ICN symposium talk 2020 entitled "linking brain and orientation behavior - from echolocating bats to migration" is now available on youtube.
Congratulations to Jerome Beetz who received this year's Young Investigator Award of the Interntional Society for Neuroethology. He will give a talk at the ISN Young Investigator Award Symposium (10th of November) which will be held via zoom. We are very much looking forward to his and the other Young Investigators' talk.
