The Conflict Ecology Lab had its inaugural social event, let it be the first of many. The event coincided with this years Pint of Science festival – the Australian edition. Dr. James O’Hanlon dazzled us with deception while Dr. Michael Kasumovic tried to convince the audience that the best way to maximise your fitness is to find a mate that likes violent computer games (maybe I am paraphrasing not sure). A fab night was enjoyed by all.
