Lots of congratulations to Ben Abts, who successfully defended his master’s thesis today!! He gave a great talk on his work on forgetting and the value of social information in foraging bumble bees. Ben was the lab’s first official Bee Czar, helping undergrads and high school students in learning to wrangle bees in experiments. He is going to finish up a small experiment now to add to his thesis, and it should make for a great paper!
