BI seminars

Talks at the MPI for Biological Intelligence

Talks by eminent scientists whose work resonates with the scientific focus of our institute.
Talks by outstanding postdoctoral researchers external to our institute, who are invited to present on a broad range of scientific topics. 
Our research departments and groups organize regular seminars relevant to their research fields.
This seminar series explores how sex and diversity shape biological processes across species, and how these factors influence research in ecology and neuroscience. Diversity of perspectives and experiences is a foundation for excellent science and this series also offers a platform for participants to explore how sex, gender, and individual backgrounds affect the experiences of researchers themselves – including relating to opportunities for career advancement, working conditions, and the sense of belonging within the scientific community.
