DESCRIPTION:Come to the Winstanley Lecture Hall on the 30th of January at 
 6 pm to hear from Dora Biro\, Professor of Animal Behaviour at Department 
 of Zoology\, University of Oxford! Professor Biro will bes speaking about 
 her research concerning the mechanisms and consequences of social living a
 nd social organisation in animals.\n \nThe talk will start at 18:15 with f
 ree refreshments available from 18:00. To reach Winstanley Lecture Hall\, 
 enter the door opposite to the Great Gate\, go up the stairs to your right
 \, and take the second left turn. You can find our banner near the entranc
 e.\n\n"Living in groups presents both challenges and opportunities. Group 
 members have to resolve potential conflicts and make joint decisions on ho
 w to coordinate their activities if the group is to remain cohesive\, but 
 they can also draw on each other’s knowledge to solve problems better\, 
 passing these solutions down from generation to generation to build animal
  “cultures”. My research investigates the cognitive underpinnings of t
 hese phenomena – group decision-making\, collective intelligence\, socia
 l learning and culture – across birds and primates\, and tries to pinpoi
 nt general organisational principles that have interesting parallels in hu
 man society."\n\n
