"Collective Behavior Rules!"
Workshop Ahmed El Hady

Can you imagine a world where human beings are just acting alone?
Can our species survive without collective action?

In this seminar, we will go through fascinating examples of collective behavior
from all over the animal kingdom from ants to locusts to rats to
non-human and human primates. Our evolutionary history is full
of fascinating examples and is a testimony of how important
collective behavior is. The seminar will acquaint the students with
the importance of studying collective behavior and how it has
implications for real life problems like in a pandemic situation and
vaccination campaigns.
