Scientists from around the globe will address these and other questions from an international audience during an online conference, “ethology Investigates: Cooperation,” hosted by the journal Ethology. All are welcome to watch or read the presentations (some are videocasts of the scientists in the field, others are scholarly papers) prior to the discussions, which will take the form of question-and-answer sessions.
Susan Foster, professor and chair of theBiology Department at Clark, and the co-editor-in-chief of Ethology, says nearly 600 people have signed up for the free three-day conference, which begins Tuesday, Nov. 29, at 8 a.m. and concludes Thursday, Dec. 1, at 12 p.m. (A full schedule for the nine sessions is posted at the website, but don’t be fooled. The start times are listed in Greenwich Mean Time; subtract five hours to get the Eastern Standard Time).
