Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to our upcoming online "Bring-Your-Own-Fluid"
(BYOF) seminar organized by the Social Transfer Network, an ESEB-funded
Special Topic Network. The next online seminar will take place on
September 17th at 15:00 UK time (16h in Europe, 10am in New York, 07am
in Los Angeles, etc.).

BYOF refers to either the social fluid you might study or your cup
of coffee or tea on your desk. Our intention with these seminars is to
build an interdisciplinary community on the topic of socially transferred
materials, to learn from one another and to advance research across the
study of social transfers.

In this seminar series, we have three exciting flash talks, about 7 min
each + Q&A, followed by discussion.

Our speakers for this seminar are:

Sinead English & Joshua Benoit: Milk in utero - social fluid transfer
in pregnant flies and cockroaches

Dillan Saunders: Variation in maternal provisioning as a driver of
changes in early development

Arthur Matte: The origins and molecular evolution of sperm

We expect the meeting to take approximately 1 hour.
