This course is open to ALL (students, post docs, and faculties!) from all fields of study in social insects. We would love to share our love and experience of termites to our friends studying other social insect models.
This year is going to be very special as we will have guest speakers who will provide there unique perspective on various aspects of Termite Biology, which means we will have a total of 10 instructors, including:

Finally, this course will be offered again only in 2021, so please make sure to not miss this opportunity if you are interested in joining us.
