Description
Mothers are important. This is reflected in the vast amount and diversity of research on the topic of maternal effects. In my talk, I will present an overview of the meta-analytic work we undertook to synthesise primary animal research related to the intergenerational maternal effects. The results include a few fresh insights on what to not to blame mothers for. In addition, I will outline the methodological work on research synthesis in ecology and evolution, but also bridging to other disciplines, expanding and improving the ways we make sense of the scientific information.

By addressing key modeling challenges in mass spectrometry and tissue image analysis, this research advances the scalability, precision, and applicability of deep learning in clinical genomics, computational pathology, and personalized medicine.
Dietary shifts—particularly the inclusion of animal resources—were pivotal in human evolution, yet direct evidence of meat consumption in early hominins remains limited and debated.
