To fill this void in scientific communication, a group of early career nanocrystal enthusiasts launched the virtual seminar series, News in Nanocrystals, in the summer of 2020. By the end of the year, the series had attracted over 850 participants from 46 countries. In this Nano Focus, we describe the process of organizing the News in Nanocrystals seminar series; discuss its growth, emphasizing what the organizers have learned in terms of diversity and accessibility; and provide an outlook for the next steps and future opportunities. This summary and analysis of experiences and learned lessons are intended to inform the broader scientific community, especially those who are looking for avenues to continue fostering discussion and scientific engagement virtually, both during the pandemic and after. https://research-explorer.ista.ac.at/record/9829 eng American Chemical Society info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1021/acsnano.1c03276 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/1936-0851 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/e-issn/1936-086X info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/wos/000679406500002 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/34228432 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Baranov D, Šverko T, Moot T, et al.

Direct reciprocity means that individuals use their own experience to decide whether to cooperate with another person. Indirect reciprocity means that they also consider the experiences of others. Although these two mechanisms are intertwined, they are typically studied in isolation. Here, we introduce a mathematical framework that allows us to explore both kinds of reciprocity simultaneously. We show that the well-known ‘generous tit-for-tat’ strategy of direct reciprocity has a natural analogue in indirect reciprocity, which we call ‘generous scoring’. Using an equilibrium analysis, we characterize under which conditions either of the two strategies can maintain cooperation. With simulations, we additionally explore which kind of reciprocity evolves when members of a population engage in social learning to adapt to their environment. Our results draw unexpected connections between direct and indirect reciprocity while highlighting important differences regarding their evolvability. https://research-explorer.ista.ac.at/record/9402 https://research-explorer.ista.ac.at/download/9402/14496 eng Springer Nature info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1038/s41562-021-01114-8 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/e-issn/2397-3374 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/wos/000650304000002 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/33986519 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Schmid L, Chatterjee K, Hilbe C, Nowak MA.
