Check out or new paper on Active odor sensing in JEB, where we show that cockroach behavior is not only impacted by the odor environment but also impacts it -journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/do… with @savage_sinusoid @CBehav

@evogom Oh no, poor you, you must be broke. Actually, I know you are:

@UsulduFutur Eh! Mon gecko il me coûte moins cher par an que n'importe quel chat (depuis 9 ans maintenant). Je me laisserai pas traîter de bourgeois, non mais oh :)

@3blue1brown There is a great PBS Idea Channel video asking those same questions and whether math is discovered or invented. Doesn't give an answer, though...

I have to say, seeing so much of math/science Twitter come to the defense of this video, and the premise of rewarding inquisitiveness rather than mocking inaccuracies, has really made my evening.

@ColinTheotime Left. Right seems too bright, the colors are not pronounced enough

@Simeonqs Not sure what your issue is, but I've been using CmdStanR with parallel_chains=4 and it's faster than rstan in my experience (I have tiny models, but still).

@JolleWJolles I like this Z-stack of its moving antennae a lot. #mystudyspecies

I just photographed this stunning male stickleback, the oldest and most beautiful fish I have in my lab. Thought it might be a nice challenge for fellow biologists to share their best photos of their study animal! Join me and take a photo with hashtag #mystudyspecies

Shout-out to the developers of @mcmc_stan for being so helpful and responsive to a noob with installation & running issues over on the Stan forum. #RStats

@SimonGingins Are you sure it's not just training its Kung Fu skills by punching the water?

@fritzafrancisco Almost

Almost not funny! #Munich #CapitalismKills

Please RT ;) Interested in commissioning a #scientific #illustration for your brand new manuscript? Don't hesitate to reach me out: helderhugo.com/illustration/ #abs2020 @AnimBehSociety

@fritzafrancisco Also got mat black photography aluminium for electrical shielding, needle tips as holders for electrodes, half a falcon tube with a microscope slide cover as a cockroach holder

@savage_sinusoid Yes, I know shrink tube is also very much at the top of my list!

To all experimental scientists: What is your favourite tool that becomes vital to your experiments but has nothing to do with the purpose it is being used for?

@fritzafrancisco Ritex lube. I use it to prevent the cut tip of the cockroach antennae I'm recording from from drying and assure electrical contact with the reference electrode

@icouzin 20 of 24. Not too bad, but they chose some obscure characters... Somehow the Kings of Gondor have antidepressant-sounding names to me.

Antidepressant or Tolkien character? antidepressantsortolkien.now.sh/?fbclid=IwAR37…

@LaurieLuckritz @einatcouzin Why do we even bother studying insect brains ...

This is literally a decapitated wasp cleaning its wound before flying off with its own head!! #natureyoucrazy

@HarmitMalik As a 27 yo who never drove a car, I "really showed those dang millenials".

I got 16 out of 20! How do you measure up? #124432263&rid=370298930" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">buzzfeed.com/daves4/millenn…

@icouzin Mine is a night gecko, but she's been fun for the past 8 years

I’ve always been fascinated by day geckos. Our Uni zoo pair had babies, and our staff there are overstretched, so we got two beautiful lizards to look after. My lockdown days just got so much better.

@DanPapageorgiou An inflatable yoga ball?

While #workingfromhome I have tried all the different chairs we have here and still get lower back pain. At the office I have an anatomic one. Now I will try a stool. Any tips?
