The Social Fluids Lab

@socialfluids.bsky.social

We study socially transferred materials, metabolic division of labour, and the evolution of cooperation. Mostly ants, sometimes microbes, sometimes vertebrates. PI = @adriatica.bsky.social, Lab is @camzoology.bsky.social at University of Cambridge.

Choose Science. Choose Europe.

A new Marie Skล‚odowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025 call is now open.

With a budget of โ‚ฌ404.3 million, it will support around 1,650 researchers from Europe and beyond.
