We are hiring! Come join us in the Straw Lab at the @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social . Seeking a scientist to work on the neural and computational mechanisms of visual navigation in honey bees. uni-freiburg.de/en/job/00005...

1/4 Really excited to share this new preprint led by PhD student Yu Lin Tan, where together with Tiago Branco we explored how distributed brain circuits converge onto a central escape hub and are integrated to dynamically compute flexible survival decisions. @sainsburywellcome.bsky.social

Delighted to have contributed to this thorough and collaborative piece of work with amazing colleagues and friends! 🧠🚀

I'm very excited to finally see this one out in @natneuro.nature.com ! It has been an incredible journey alongside extremely talented people! Thanks to everyone involved and enjoy the reading! 1/n
