1/ Baleen whales depend on acoustic communication to find each other in vast marine environments. But how do baleen whales make their calls and iconic songs while holding their breath? We are thrilled to share our newest paper in #Nature! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our Summer School in #Bioacoustics is in full swing!  🎤🎧🔊🐦‍⬛🦇🐝🐋🐬🦭 24 talented students and 22 kickass teachers from all over the planet, 13 days of intense teaching. B2B with #ICN2024

Personally, I was absolutely blown away by inspiring plenaries including @PrutYifat @DanielKronauer @PManoonpong @FRKT_labs @feinermo.   A special thanks to @gilles_laurent_ and  Mackenzie Mathis @TrackingActions, who’s talks will surely resonate for a long time.  Gold medals! 🏅

550 posters! An inspiration for research AND teaching.   I was thrilled to see such an amount of young talent and diversity in our community. The future of neuroethology is bright! Become a @neuroethology member and see in Vancouver @ICN2026

One thing I love about @neuroethology is the breath of model systems 🐜🐝🐋🐭🦇, the speed at which cutting-edge tech and software is embraced, and the sheer creativity that is bubbling around.   This was clear in all symposia – with absolute gems of talks speckled throughout…

#ICN2024 in Berlin was amazing! It was the largest @neuroethology meeting ever with 900 attendees!   The program committee, chaired by Elke Buschbeck and me, worked hard for two years to make an exciting and inspiring program.

Application deadline for the graduate summer course in Bioacoustics is approaching fast! April 1st… Please apply for this blast of a course with amazing teachers. sdu.dk/en/forskning/s…

Ze hadden enorm veel geluk, vertelt @CoenElemans, want aan het strottenhoofd van een baleinwalvis kom je niet zomaar.

Recent research shows that songbirds engage in daily vocal #training. The study is fascinating for understanding avian behaviour but also hold significant potential for advancing human speech #therapy and vocal training. #sciencenewsdk @CoenElemans sciencenews.dk/en/comparing-c…

icymi, nice segment from @npratc @kaimcnamee interviewing @CoenElemans about their new @Nature paper on the baleen whale larynx npr.org/2024/02/23/123… We are rating Coen's whale imitation 3/4 waterspouts 🐳🐳🐳 Pretty good for a human

Imagine swimming, holding your breath and singing sweet songs all at the same time. Whales can do it! With ⁦@Vic_Gill⁩. Thanks ⁦@CoenElemans⁩ bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

10/ A fantastic collaboration between @CoenElemans, @TecumsehFitch and others. Thanks to @novonordiskfond @Carlsbergfondet @FWF_at for generous support of our work. @NAT_sdu @SyddanskUni @stem_univie

9/ Most species are physiologically restricted to this vocal range which sadly overlaps with anthropogenic noise sources in the ocean. Baleen whales can thus not behaviorally escape anthropogenic noise. Check out the News and Views by @JoyReidenberg nature.com/articles/d4158…
