Bartosz Baran

Bartosz holds Master’s degree in biotechnology from the University of Silesia in Katowice.  He is a co-author of papers published in PLOS One, Insects, Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, Journal of Pest Science, Open Life Sciences, Molecules, Zoomorphology, Scientific Reports, European Journal of Entomology, Acta Neurobiologiae Experimentalis and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS). He has led the project (DI2015 0254 45) funded by the Diamond Grant V programme. He was awarded the Scholarship of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education for academic excellence in 2017. He is a corresponding member of the Polish Ethological Society and a longtime co-organiser of Brain Awareness Week celebrations in Katowice. Bartosz works on his Ph.D. dissertation on mechanisms of geometric cognition in insects at the University of Silesia in Katowice (supervisor: Mirosław Nakonieczny) and at the MCLL under co-supervision of Mateusz Hohol.
