This week comedian Shane Mauss stops by UCLA to learn all about ants!
The Pinter-Wollman Lab studies how collective behavior emerges from individual variation and environmental pressures. We chat about how variation among ants shapes colony behavior, and how space influences social dynamics.
This work informs conservation strategies and provides insights into disease transmission and information flow.
