Exciting life update: A year from now, I will start as Assistant Professor in the Biology Department at @UW!! Looking forward to this next step in my career
absolutely an honor to have this wonderful primer by @RachelAHarrison about our recent paper!
.@RachelAHarrison explores a #PLOSBiology study in birds by @evogom &co suggesting that changes in the physical environment, rather than the social environment, are key in prompting #SocialLearning by immigrants. Primer: plos.io/3USkKw4 Paper: plos.io/3CpSzOG

Huge congrats to @gnavalon—it’s brilliant to see our new 80-million-year-old bird on the cover of @nature! Navaornis hestiae provides the clearest insight yet into how and when the distinctive brains of modern birds evolved. Paper open access: nature.com/articles/s4158…
Amazing work by @SmithBeeLab and team showing the role of nest symmetry for brood production across several bee species!!
Thrilled to see our new @SmithBeeLab paper out in @CurrentBiology! Buckle up, this one’s a wild dive into the world of architectural symmetry… cell.com/current-biolog…
When your research is inspiring poets, wow, wow, wow!!! "A Map of Echoes" is a poem by Sam Illingworth inspired by @AyaGoldshtein @UniKonstanz @MPI_animalbehav @CBehav @icouzin 🦇research published last week in @ScienceMagazine. thepoetryofscience.scienceblog.com/3949/a-map-of-… campus.uni-konstanz.de/en/science/bat…
There are indeed strong constraints to what could be (if technologically feasible) the limits to engineering numbers of neurons, more efficient communication or wiring, as explained in this @sciam paper edisciplinas.usp.br/pluginfile.php…

My first bat paper! Out today in @ScienceMagazine - led by the amazing Aya Goldshtein @CBehav @maxplanckpress @UniKonstanz science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
New paper out today: agents will follow others they believe are wrong to maintain access to collective wisdom in the future. This means we should be suspicious of consensus - some disagreement is an indicator of a wise group royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Big news! The King Cobra taxonomy has been revised: buff.ly/3A7DO26. We will of course be chatting about the changes in an upcoming Species of the Bi-week segment. To whet your appetite, here is a new King Cobra species map. Massive congrats to the authors.
Fantastic review that's going to help a lot of trainees compare and contrast our increasing array of techniques to decode the brain 👇
✨🥰 check out our article - and cover 🤩- about Decoding the Brain in @CellCellPress cell.com/cell/fulltext/… We review the mathematics, current approaches, and muse about the future… #BCI #neuraldecoding #neuroAI Thanks to my awesome co-authors Adriana Perez Rotondo,…
