researcher Germany

Serena Ding is a prominent researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior, known for her groundbreaking work on nematodes, particularly the behavior of these tiny worms in forming living towers as a means of collective transportation. Her recent study has provided the first direct evidence of this phenomenon occurring naturally, challenging previous scientific understanding of nematode behavior and suggesting new avenues for research in animal movement and collective behavior.
