Jimmy Liao

Just back from the Simulated Bodies workshop @JaneliaHHMI. Great to catch up with dear old friends and meet new ones. Bonus: Michael Dickinson’s biomechanics standup-lecture. Bringing ideas and good vibes back to @Whitney_Lab and @UF.

We are hiring!!! The Whitney Laboratory invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level as part of a broader strategic investment in Technology Driven Discovery in Marine Bioscience. Details at: explore.jobs.ufl.edu/en-us/job/5372…

I’ve always been impressed with the research drive of my postdocs, but equally impressed with their Halloween fish origami creativity for our lab door! Thanks Ishani, Fan and Zihou for keeping it spooky…. @Whitney_Lab @UF

Getting some love from my home journal— beyond honored 🙏🐟 “We are highlighting James Liao, who was awarded the 2024 Ig Nobel Prize in Physics for his 2004 @J_Exp_Biol study, as an extraordinary biologist.” #100biologists @Harvard @UF @Whitney_Lab @IgNobel @SICB_

@EpicPlain They cited my dead trout video that I won an Ig Nobel for!

In this TED talk I shared what fish have taught me- to be a better father, the power of curiosity-driven science, and the value of studying animals in their natural context. Check it out!  youtube.com/watch?v=30__n_… #TEDxUF #Science #MarineBiology #Fatherhood #Biomechanics

Thrilled to have Masters student David Sparks publish his dissertation in JEB! He swam fish and postdoc Subra Koley performed PIV validation of Edwin Rajeev’s CFD model- team effort 🐟💪🐟 ⁦@Whitney_Lab⁩ ⁦@J_Exp_Biol⁩ ⁦@SICB_DCB_DVM⁩ journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

Farewell BBQ to iNavigate Ph.D. engineering student Dragos (Romania) and welcome to incoming computer science Ph.D. student Robert from Wales! Thanks for making fish biomechanics research an international endeavor 😎 @Whitney_Lab @UFBiology @UF

@tkalee @UF @UFBiology @APSphysics @Whitney_Lab Yes, feel free!

@LabLiao @UF @UFBiology @APSphysics @Whitney_Lab Hi Dr. Liao, congratulations on your prize. I'm writing a news piece on reactions to the Ig Nobels. Would I be able to quote your tweet here?

Closest I’ll get to the real thing— I’ll take it! #IgNobel @UF @UFBiology @APSphysics @Whitney_Lab

@candywong_H Thanks Candy!!🐟💪

Congratulations to @LabLiao for the 2024 #IgNobel Physics award! 🐟

@ZepengYao Thank you Zepeng!!

Congrats, Jimmy @LabLiao! This is awesome!

@ZebrafishRock Thanks! Zebrafish next..,. 😎

Congrats to #IgNobel Physics winner, @LabLiao “for demonstrating and explaining the swimming abilities of a dead trout.” #RockOn

Congrats @LabLiao for earning the #IgNobel prize in physics by demonstrating/explaining the swimming abilities of dead trout! “I discovered that a live fish moved more than a dead fish but not by much,” Liao said, holding up a fake fish at the award ceremony. 📸Steven Senne/@AP

@LoesgenLab @Whitney_Lab @UF Thank you Sandra ❤️🙏

So cool! Our own Jimmy Liao won the 2024 Ig Nobel Prize in Physics yesterday at a ceremony at MIT!  @Whitney_Lab @UF

@Viveknprakash @Whitney_Lab @AP Thank you Vivek!! 🐟💀🔬

@Whitney_Lab @LabLiao @AP Wow that’s awesome congrats Jimmy!!

@HungtangK Thank you Hungtang! Looking forward to dead fish at SICB this year 👍😊

@LabLiao Congratulations Jimmy!!

@melissa_meadows @Whitney_Lab @UF @UFBiology @APSphysics Thanks Melissa! I plan to fund every scientist that smiles when they talk about their work— for life 😎

@LabLiao @Whitney_Lab @UF @UFBiology @APSphysics Congratulations!!! How do you plan to spend your ten trillion dollars?

@LoligoSystems Indeed it is!

@J_Exp_Biol Thank you, thank you ❤️🐟💀❤️ @J_Exp_Biol

Congratulations @LabLiao!!! Another amazing JEB #IgNobel winner! Dead fish swimming always was, and always will be, a #classic Here’s the paper: journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/20…

@ET_Lunsford Thanks Elias 😎
