We played Jeopardy at lab meeting yesterday with categories on #fish anatomy, #behavior, #brain, & misc. lab stuff - fun time! - thanks to Teisha @Teisha_King4 for organization!

Through December 11, we are accepting applications for summer 2023 Grass Fellowships @MBLScience! See grassfoundation.org/fellowship-ove…. In 2023, we will partner with @KavliFoundation to support two Fellows conducting research related to neurobiology and changing ecosystems.

🚨Hey @SICB_ DCE members!🚨Would you like to be featured on our Twitter account? Our "Meet the Scientist" series starts this month, where we'll showcase a new DCE scientist each week! Members at all career stages are encouraged to participate. DM us if interested, and please RT!

Come join us @LSU_BioSci! 3 TT positions in any area of biology - this includes #neuroscience, #neuroethology, & #behavior. Details below!

congrats to authors @Teisha_King4 @emilyjray21 and Brandon & thanks to @ScienceShiba for the figure artwork!

Thus, dominant A. burtoni males use multimodal visual–acoustic courtship signals to provide non-redundant signals to receptive females, and females process visual–acoustic unimodal and multimodal courtship stimuli differently in the brain to make appropriate mating decisions.
