Live parrots were transported over the Andes for their feathers in ancient Peru, according to research in Nature Communications. Analysis of still-colourful feathers found in a Ychsma-era tomb suggests a complex and widespread economy that predates the Incan empire. go.nature.com/4umFAnh 🏺 🧪

4th and final day #MATBIOX #Mathematicalbiology workshop @4euplusalliance.bsky.social @sciencecharles.bsky.social @mff.unikarlova.cuni.cz was dedicated to the panel discussion and goodbyes. 🧪 Many thanks to everyone who participated, even though some had to leave before we took the group picture.

3rd day #MATBIOX #Mathematicalbiology workshop @4euplusalliance.bsky.social @sciencecharles.bsky.social @mff.unikarlova.cuni.cz focusing on physiology and morphogenesis, we learned about current topics and challenges. 🧪 After intensive program we went for well deserved dinner in the evening.

2nd day #MATBIOX #Mathematicalbiology workshop @4euplusalliance.bsky.social @sciencecharles.bsky.social @mff.unikarlova.cuni.cz was after short intro focusing on population biology and we even managed to get into field 🤗 @sorbonne-universite.fr @uniheidelberg.bsky.social @cardiffuni.bsky.social 🧪

1st day of #MATBIOX #Mathematicalbiology workshop @4euplusalliance.bsky.social @sciencecharles.bsky.social @mff.unikarlova.cuni.cz we started with students' flashtalks , openair lecture by Vlastimil Krivan, and icebreaker. @sorbonne-universite.fr @uniheidelberg.bsky.social @cardiffuni.bsky.social

The room is set and we will begin soon with introduction and flashtalks #MATBIOX #Mathematicalbiology workshop @4euplusalliance.bsky.social @sciencecharles.bsky.social @mff.unikarlova.cuni.cz
