Like a 5th year PhD candidate

Art museums can be very meditative.

We’re in the marvel universe…. There were a few story lines just like these.

Its an underrated place ♥️

Happy #FossilFriday

This is a beautiful Hexagonaria (colonial horn coral) from the Middle Devonian Cedar Valley Formation from Coralville, Iowa. There is a location in Iowa City, Iowa known as the Devonian Fossil Gorge where you can see an intact coral 390 million year old coral reef like this one.

Its so horrific to read this. 😭😞😔

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Remove the bay leaf, before consuming the food 😂
They’re so flavorful!!! Add a whole other dimension to food…
Definitely a controversial take *sigh*

Reminder that I will be speaking this Wednesday about my postdoc work. You have been warned. 🧪

A crowd of marine embryos self-assembles into a living solid Nature Physics - Marine embryos are usually studied in isolation. But when starfish embryos are in a crowd, they self-assemble into living solids with unexpected dynamics, revealing how simple...

What happens when marine embryos are crowded instead of isolated?

They become materials.

Honored to write a @natphys.nature.com News & Views on excitable living solids discovered by Prof. Fakhri and colleagues at @mit.edu 😀

Neuroscience has a species problem If neuroscience is serious about building general principles of brain function, cross-species dialogue must become a core organizing principle.

Differences between species should be treated as informative constraints that refine theory, not as inconsistencies to be explained away, writes @suthanalab.bsky.social.

A half-century old question may have its final answer. Using high-resolution #Mini2P microscopes, we find no evidence of local topography in #PlaceCells.

Likewise, thrilled to be presenting for the "Future of Neuroethology" series @neuroethology.org with excellent company @shubhamtr.bsky.social and
@benitoexplains.bsky.social!

I'll present recent work identifying a cortico-basal ganglia locus of song learning

Our next @neuroethology.org webinar is on March 12!

So happy to be presenting to one of my favorite community of scientists! (@neuroethology.org )
Come join us, to check out some of my “old” work with new insights about arthropod eyes and their molecular make-up!

Here is another ant-mimicking spider from Sabah, this time from Danum Valley. This is a jumping spider in the subtribe Myrmarachnina, literally meaning “ant spiders”. Constrictions of the cephalothorax and opisthosoma give it the appearance of an ant with a separate head and “wasp waist”.

Some myrmachomorphs have an altered pheromone profile that matches those of the ant colonies!
These guys are wild!!!

Pavlov would have been shocked and stoked by this study!

It meticulously shows that what matters most for cue-reward learning is the duration between rewards: the longer this duration, the fewer the number of trials needed for behavioral and DA learning
