[UNABRIDGED] Alex Jordan // A Fish's Sense of Self

Summary

Please enjoy some of the unabridged presentations from The Shape of a Circle in the Dream of Fish, which were reconstituted into FE5.3 - Cosmopoetics.

First up: Alex Jordan. Dr. Jordan’s research group uses quantitative approaches to study the evolution and adaptive value of animal behaviour in natural contexts. Alex is interested in how behaviour has evolved, what the adaptive value of behaviour is, and what the mechanisms that underlie behaviour are.
