I was invited to be a lecturer and faculty mentor for the second annual Complex Networks Winter Workshop in Quebec City, Canada. CNWW (pronounced “canoe”) is a one-week crash course in transdisciplinary approaches to complex networks, bringing together biologists, social scientists, mathematicians, and more to learn about a variety of network methods and to conduct independent group projects, all while staying in the historic monastery in beautiful Quebec City.
While at CNWW, I gave a lecture on animal social complexity, became a tobogganing champion, did science in a cat cafe, and mentored students in two group projects. One group focused on ant social interactions and the other on wolf pack dynamics.
This was an amazing experience — the science was incredible, the students were amazing, the location was beautiful, and the conference was expertly run. I highly recommend attending if you can!
