Sad news. We know Jane Goodall was an inspiration to many of our members. She brought real change not only to animal behaviour, but to the world 🌍

Sofia!!! I'll give you 3 guesses why ... 😂

Rohini presenting a video of a tree cricket using a hole in a leave to amplify it's call.

Rohini Balakrishnan gave a wonderful plenary talk on tree crickets, showcasing the power of combining field and experimental research, with some very neat findings—males use leaves to amplify their calls, and more so on days when their calls are less loud! 😮

Discharged from hospital, forever grateful to @nishantkumar.bsky.social @kaustabhbaruah.bsky.social and @sophiadaoudi.bsky.social for getting me there. I don’t know what I would have done without them.

Also Indian healthcare is way better than Canada or the UK! They got me in so quick.
