We welcome the 2nd plenary speaker at #ABL2025. 🙌

Dr. Anna Stöckl (Universität Konstanz) reveals how insect pollinators interpret floral patterns to guide foraging. From hawkmoth vision to neural templates—this talk will bridge behaviour, neuroethology & sensory biology. 🦋🪻

My turn to do internal departmental tea-time talk. Brilliant. Half an hour with a friendly, captive audience to basically infodump about whatever topic I felt like talking about. So they got #InsectVision 101. Bee #colour vision, sensory ecology, #ColourConstancy, multimodal stimuli, and also some cameos from my hamsters. Good times. Kind of looking forward to the next one, when I can pick another of my favourite work-relevant topics.
