I haven't been very active on twitter lately, but I think this is the easiest way for me to share a small piece of personal news. Today, I start a new job at IMT School for Advanced Studies in Lucca, Italy imtlucca.it/en

So v chuffed the 1st paper from my PhD is now out in Royal Society Publishing #ProcB 👇 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… I had a lot of fun along the way with co-authors Milly Munro & Christos Ioannou. Special thanks to funders Natural Environment Research Council GW4 Fresh CDT & @asab_tweets University of Bristol Biological Sciences 🧵 1/12

Interested in #collectivebehaviour, #decisionmaking, and #ants? Check out my first #PhD paper, out today in PNASNews! Chris R Reid, @sjmgarnier, Chris Lustri, Justin McNab, and I studied how colonies of ants make decisions when facing an uncertain task pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

3-year postdoc opportunity to work with me at the University of Leeds on Mathematical Biology and Collective Behaviour as part of the TWCF-funded project Rationality and Reason: Beyond the Individual. Please contact me if interested, and share and RT. jobs.leeds.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?r…

!!Funded PhD available (start 2024)!! Do you want to study #collectivebehaviour in weaver ants (in particular how they build their ultra-cool and totally unstudied silk nests), and develop #bioinspired #3Dprinting #swarmrobotics? Let me know! And please RT!

Cool study on the inheritance of alternative nest architectural traditions in stingless bees now out in Current Biology! Study was led by my amazing PhD student Viviana Di Pietro with contributions of Ricardo Caliari Oliveira Helena M. Ferreira Maxime Fajgenblat Facultat de Biociències UAB & Embrapa MeioAmbiente 🧵

I made a new lab website! mizumoto-lab.com Also, I'm looking for a graduate student (master or phd). Please see the link. Thank you!

Work led by Giulio Facchini on the role of water evaporation as a cue for termite building activity is eventually published officially in eLife: "Substrate evaporation drives collective construction in termites" doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Are you attending #ASABSpring2024 and looking for a PhD position? Check out this open position in my lab! Deadline: 15th May. I'm also around to chat 😉. swansea.ac.uk/postgraduate/s…

🍃Termites are the architects of the #natural world. Their elaborate nests can be giant. How can they do that? A new study coordinated by prof. Andrea Perna published in the journal eLife - the journal, discovered their secret: humidity. Read in Nature Italy👉shorturl.at/abjPQ #research

Last few days to apply to our PhD programmes (several fully funded PhD positions open to students worldwide). I would be happy to answer questions about the PhD track on Complex Systems and Networks (the one in which I am involved).

I am really happy to receive the 'Outstanding Thesis' award by CSIC! My time at the Complex Systems Lab Complex Systems Lab (at Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE)) was truly amazing. Many thanks to my supervisors Ricard Solé, JosepSardanyes, & Nuria Condee-Pueyo! Thesis: hdl.handle.net/10803/673774

Our new paper, highlighting mechanisms behind the stability of these complex food webs👇 An urgent challenge is to understand how growing human pressure impacts the functioning of these threatened systems.. to be continued! Victor Saito KratinaLab

New preprint up, showing how snowflake yeast overcome one of the greatest limitations on the evolution of multicellularity: diffusion. They do so by leveraging emergent biophysics to rapidly flow media through their bodies, like a sea sponge. 1/28
