Marla Sokolowski

Marla Sokolowski FRSC is a University Professor in the Departments of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto,[1] and a Canada Research Chair in Genetics and Behavioral Neurology. Sokolowski is best known for her discovery of the foraging gene.[1][2]

Research career

Her research has demonstrated how genes interact with the environment, and thus having an impact on behaviour.[3][4][2] She has pioneered the development of a branch of behaviour genetics that addresses the genetic and molecular bases of natural individual differences in behaviour.[5][3] She has applied her work to early childhood development,[6][7] demonstrating how children who are at risk can benefit from nutritional, financial, educational and emotional interventions.[8] Sokolowski is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.[3]

gollark: I think the Radeon RX 5700 (NOT the much older 5700 series HD ones) is *fairly* perf-comparable to the Vega 64, and they seem to be similar prices in Australia.
gollark: I think the AMD Vega cards have been replaced by the Navi ones now, which got released on Sunday.

gollark: There are probably a bunch of different implementations in use, and possibly meta-repnets for weighting each repnet.
gollark: Don't they *use* some?
