The goal of this intimate two and half day workshop will be to discuss and develop new experimental, theoretical, and computational tools to bridge multiple disciplines in the study of group tasks orchestrated by organisms from microbes to metazoans.  There is no cost for registration, and applications for participation in the workshop are being accepted until September 25th.
