Feb 16th: Seminar and discussion on biology and interdisciplinary animal research
by Heikki Helanterä 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

Hi all, please remember this special session on 16th Feb, 12-15, and register to make sure there's enough coffee for everybody: https://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/A797F87C35B9BE41 Remember that also students are warmly welcome, and this is a great opportunity to see what kind of diversity of topics and approaches you may end up working with training as a biologist! It is our pleasure to invite you to a seminar and panel discussion session on interdisciplinary animal research, Thu 16th of Feb 12.15 - 15.00 (room M335 at Linnanmaa kampus), with two invited speakers from the University of Helsinki, Faculty of Biological and Environmental sciences: Dr. Sonja Koski has a background in studying primate social biology, and their cognition, emotions and personalities, and will also talk about her current projects on human-animal interactions using methods from biology, psychology, zooanthropology and social sciences. https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/sonja-koski Dr. Emma Vitikainen has been studying social behaviour and life-histories, especially early life effects and senescence in mongooses, and will talk about how that has led her to studying inequality and human health at the intersection of evolutionary biology, medical sciences and sociology, for example in the FinnBrain project. https://www.emmavitikainen.org/ https://scholar.google.fi/citations?hl=en&user=qK7nGE4AAAAJ&view_op=list_wo… After the talks we will have a discussion session with plenty of space for questions from the audience. In addition to Sonja and Emma the discussion will be joined by Sema Dilmaz from Archeology and Sohvi Nuojua from Psychology - so we will have a wonderfully broad range of perspectives on us and other animals, and the joys and challenges of crossing disciplinary divides! Students and researchers from all disciplines are of course welcome! There will be coffee served - so please register so we know how many to cater for, at https://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/A797F87C35B9BE41 Best regards.
