Interview with Gerd B. Müller on Theoretical Biology

The topics discussed in the interview cover the development and activities of the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research as one of the most important theoretical biology centers in the world, the reasons for its inspiring atmosphere, as well as the development of the interests and research work of its longtime president Gerd B. Müller. An important part of this is the work on a revised theoretical framework of evolution, the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis. We also talk about the place of biosemiotics in biology and about the situation and future perspectives of theoretical biology in general. With this interview we celebrate Gerd Müller’s 70th birthday.
