So excited to share that I will be starting my research group at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology! 🥳 My lab will study curiosity and exploration across biological (and artificial) minds. I will recruit a PhD, a postdoc and an RA in the coming months, so please spread the word!

the most important difference being, of course, that you're not actually asking people but prompting the internet. which might be useful too, but it's a very different thing
