📢 Predictive saccades and decision making in the beetle-predating saffron robber 🪰 📜 Paper out in @CurrentBiology today! 🔗 manuscript. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

Amazing opportunity for early career scientist to present their work and for everyone to hear about the latest advances in the field! Please consider nominating (or self nominate) a speaker and register for The Future of Neuroethology webinar series!

@VivekNityananda @puh23 @ChrisRReid1 @maththrills @pipilika_aj @neurobongo @QldBrainInst @hemmi_lab We did, in 2018, study is unpublished because we were told by reviewer that we needed to put glasses on the fly ad the only way to demonstrate that they do use stereopsis. We are taking about a 6 mm long insect.

oh! yeash! Congrats to Sam and Mary. They were the first 2 people that I employed in the lab, and they always worked together beautifully.

When @neuroethology #icn2022lisbon and the visual field giants are gathered in front of you… Eric warrant, Herman Wagner, Justin Marshall, Barrie Frost, Jack Pettigrew, Tom cronin… and thinking of Michael Land of course.

@samueltfabian and @FlySy_Lab's full research article can be accessed at journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

Robber flies intercept their victims on the wing and now @samueltfabian and @FlySy_Lab have discovered that the aeronauts use a simultaneous combination of obstacle avoidance with their conventional interception strategy to bring down dinner journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

New open access paper out on the wonderful Gnat Ogre (Holcocephala fusca), with @FlySy_Lab, in @J_Exp_Biol . In it, you can find out how these tiny killers deal with physical obstacles on their way to hunt lunch on the wing. 1/6

For the love of science. I am giving a talk on the 14th of Feb in NY. 🧠❤️🪰👀 Register and say hi if you are around… ( or if you are into -#decisions #prediction #robberfly #predation #neuroscience )

📢 Postdoc position to 📼neural⚡️from 🐉🪰 🧠 🪰 Our unpublished behavioral data is NEAT, and this post will follow up on such findings by looking for the neural correlates. 💡Info in the thread, please share widely!

@DrKateFeller You are incredible!!!!

Mantis shrimp male good life coaches. A little embroidered piece I made for for my mentor, friend, and colleague @FlySy_Lab Thanks for the memories! #mantisshrimp

Yes, 2020 is mad. But there is also great things: @DrKateFeller is starting as an Assitant Professor at union college!!!! Not only she is an incredible scientist, she is also an amazing artist. I will update with pics of this, most awesome lab present, on the lab wall.

Hey! 📢 Let's make the planned furloughs at the Uni fair. The proposed plan hits the lower earners the hardest (rate of cuts is highest for lowest earners). THIS IS NOT OK. There is an alternative 👇

Our mayfly paper on the genomic adaptations to aquatic&terrestrial habitats & on the origin of insect wings is finally out in @NatureComms. Great work w/ @fcasfer @MSCActions @CABD_UPO_CSIC @Dmc2Cabd #evodevo 1/n disq.us/t/3p120zq

@Pselaphinae Thank you! It was good news amidst a challenging term. Hope you are all keeping safe and sane. What is Caltech doing with regards to TT clocks and PhD programs? Is it providing extensions and stipends?

1/n How about some fireflies to start the weekend? Thrilled to share our first firefly preprint on “Spatiotemporal reconstruction of emergent flash synchronization in firefly swarms” biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…  #FireflyFriday (best photo ever by @Myrmecos)
