We are very excited to welcome Shilpa Khatri, Assistant Professor at UC Merced (USA), who’s joined us at IMEDEA about 10 days ago for a 2-months visit. This is funded from a Visiting Fellowship from the University of the Balearic Islands. Between short trips to the continent and co-organising with us and others the 2022 MOB meeting, Shilpa will work with Steve Williams on a numerical project about phototaxis.
