[Mitarbeiter.zoologie] Seminar by Koos Boomsma tomorrow

[Andreia Teixeira]

Hello all,

Thank you Anna for sharing this!

As some people had some trouble finding the recorded talk and the FINE
seminars youtube channel might be a bit confusing, I'm sharing the direct
link to Boomsma talk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbgrkAF-MR8&t=5548s&ab_channel=SeminaronFrontiersinSocialEvolution

Hope it works.

Best,
Andreia
