About this listen
This week on The XYZ Experiment, we sit down with Dr Scarlett Howard (Head of the Integrative Cognition, Ecology and Bio-inspiration Research Group at the School of Biological Sciences) to explore the surprising intelligence of tiny insect brains.
Her current work focuses on bees and whether they can understand mathematical concepts like odd and even numbers - spoiler alert, they can!
How do miniature brains solve such complex problems? What might this reveal about animal cognition, climate change, and even our own understanding of intelligence?
Join us for this absolutely fascinating conversation that will change the way you see the next bee buzzing past.
