Nicholls lab

Welcome to the Nicholls lab! Founded in late 2020, we are building an inter-disciplinary team of researchers to investigate the sensory and cognitive mechanisms driving foraging choices in bees, the implications for plant-insect interactions and the provision of pollination for wildflowers and crops. Find out more about current open positions and our lab philosophy.
