The Jerusalema dance challenge performed by the Department of Evolutionary Neuroethology (Hansson lab) at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology.

On top of being an enjoyable refresher from the lab, the dance celebrates community, especially at times of hardship such as that posed by a global pandemic. We took up the challenge and we dance in solidarity with all! Stay connected and disinfected.
