We are excited to be launching a call for an independent fellow in machine learning and AI at EMBL Rome. Bring your ideas for applying ML/AI tools to understand omics, animal behavior, and/or neural activity datasets to EMBL. embl.org/jobs/position/…

Neuroscientists care about the causes of behavior, while ethologists care about the consequences. These approaches need to merge for us to understand human behavior and its associated suffering. Dorian Battivelli, Fan Zhengxiao, Hu Hailan, and I lay out the why and what.

The study of behavior requires a combination of the ethology and neuroscience approaches.

The latest publication from the Gross group outlines the tools needed to optimise this holistic approach to study fear, aggression and dominance behaviours: nature.com/articles/s4158…
