Virtual Café Scientifique | Deceiving the Superorganism

What allows a freeloading outsider to don a disguise and infiltrate a tight-knit society? Extreme evolution. By means of rapid and dramatic behavioral, anatomical, and chemical adaptations, a group of insects named rove beetles can assimilate into ant colonies -- normally fiercely xenophobic -- and exploit their social hosts undetected. This remarkable group of beetles, the most species-rich family in the animal kingdom, provides a paradigm for studying how interactions between species emerge during evolution. ___________________________________________ Joseph Parker, PhD Joe Parker is an Assistant Professor of Biology and Biological Engineering at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. He obtained a BSc in Zoology from Imperial College London and a PhD from the University of Cambridge/Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology. Following this, he pursued his postdoctoral research at Columbia University in New York. At Caltech, his lab studies rove beetles and their interactions with social insects to understand how relationships between species emerge during evolution. His work is highly integrative, spanning genomics and cell biology to behavioral neuroscience, and has been recognized with numerous awards. He is a Rita Allen Foundation scholar, a Klingenstein Fund/Simons Foundation fellow, an Alfred P. Sloan fellow, a Pew Biomedical Scholar, and a recipient of the National Science Foundation's CAREER Award. ___________________________________________ About Café Scientifique: Café Scientifique is a place where anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. The Café provides a forum for debating science issues outside a traditional academic context. We are committed to promoting public engagement with science and to making science accountable - all spoken in plain English. There is no admission charge to attend our events. Building on its great success outside the United States, Café Scientifique Silicon Valley is the first such Café on the West Coast. We meet monthly to discuss a variety of science topics. About HanaHaus: HanaHaus is a community workspace that combines the best aspects of café and coworking culture and cultivates a dynamic atmosphere for innovation. The concept of HanaHaus is rooted in the philosophy that great ideas spring from anywhere, and more often when people come together. HanaHaus brings people together and offers a space where they can connect, explore new ideas, and bring them to life. 💛FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA💛 Website: https://sap.to/6056zVBUu Instagram: https://sap.to/6053KTTWl LinkedIn: https://sap.to/6054KTTWm Twitter: https://sap.to/6055KTTWW Facebook: https://sap.to/6056KTTW 📝 Have feedback on this virtual session?
