Preserved reptile scales retain microscopic features, revealing a new instance of convergent evolution | Journal of The Royal Society Interface Small-scale structures on biological surfaces can profoundly impact how animals move, appear and interact with their environments. Such textures may be especially important for limbless reptiles, such...

First paper from our lab! Led by Calvin Riiska, we found that skin microtextures remain intact in museum-preserved reptiles. Using this result, we found a new instance of convergent evolution in sidewinding! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Really fantastic work led by Ben Dykstra!

Saleem lab

New job alert!
My lab (saleemlab.com) has a new postdoc / senior postdoc opening. They will be part of an exciting research supported by ERC & UKRI, studying vision during navigation. Projects range from purely computational to performing new physiological recordings.

Just In case people need to follow people in neuroscience focused on natural behaviors and the brains of cool non-trad animals! Please join let me know if you wanna be added. go.bsky.app/AcLpM4h

Couldn't find one so made a quick physics of life list, enjoy! go.bsky.app/EA2VsDN

My department (UW Neurobiology and Biophysics) is hiring. Open search. 2 positions. A good place to live and do science. I just took a walk outside and there were hundreds of crows eating acorns under a big red oak down by the lake. Join us.

I'm happy that my debut post is to announce that our long-awaited Gait Signatures paper is finally out. Kudos to the perseverance and talent of Taniel Winner for driving this collaboration with @gordonberman.bsky.social and Trisha Kesar. Individual differences in movement are real!

Excited to share the published version of our gait signatures paper from the amazing Taniel Winner! Really fun collaboration with Lena Ting, Trisha Kesar, Michael Rosenberg, and Kanishk Jain.
