Flyer for the 2026 IMSI Summer Institute: Recruiting research interns. Join our interdisciplinary research training internship and study biomechanics, muscle physiology, biophysics, neurosciences, rehabilitation sciences and engineering. All career stages welcome, undergraduates especially encouraged to apply. Full time paid opportunity. Intensive research experience, practical skills development, supportive mentorship. Learn more at CIMS.uci.edu. One photo show a lab member collecting motion capture data as a person jumps. Another photo shows IMSI researchers setting up a camera for data collection in at a field research location showing a desert landscape in the foreground and a mountain range in the background.
Call for applications to the 2026 Integrative Movement Sciences Summer Institute!
This is a funded research internship, open to all career stages.
We especially encourage undergraduates to apply.
Application deadline is March 21.

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.
And you know why?
Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.
My department at CSU Northridge is hiring a vertebrate functional morphologist! We've got a great EEB group, and we're looking for someone to carry forward a tradition of enriching organismal courses and community-engaged research. App review starts March 15

The front cover the Journal of Experimental Biology Special Issue, Sensory Perception in a Changing World, volume 229, Supplementary issue 1, published February 2026. The background of the cover is purple. In the centre there is an image of a butterfly, surrounded by a dove (top), turtle, seal, snake, dolphin, frog and fish, arranged in a circle. Those images are surrounded by a second circle of images representing sources of environmental change, including; a submarine (top), a wind turbine, a thermometer with the mercury to the top, a flask containing bubbling chemicals, a car (bottom), an electricity pylon, a light bulb and a factory with smoke coming out of its chimneys. The Company of Biologists logo is in the bottom left corner.
All of the Reviews and Commentaries in our new Special Issue, Sensory Perception in a Changing World, are available for FREE!

The fish icon for the JEB field station Perspective series. The icon shows a cartoon of a salmon leaping out of wave. The icon is in shades of teal.
Located on the California Coast, Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station has been a home to inspirational research for more than 130 years. In his Perspective, Mark Denny talks about the field station’s august past and current ground-breaking research

Postcard advertising the JEB Travelling Fellowships. The Company of Biologists logo is in the top left corner. The top right corner shows a photo of an an ECR standing in water bending over black dustbins used to collect aquatic animals. In a teal-colour band across the centre of the postcard is the message, 'Are you an early-career researcher planning to do a collaborative visit to another lab?'. The answer to that question is in the bottom left corner, stating, 'You could be eligible for funding from us'. A statement in a teal-colour box in the bottom right corner states 'Find out more'.
Calling all JEB ECRs! It's that time again! The deadline for the next JEB Travelling Fellowship applications is 6 February, so if you've got a burning desire to travel to another lab to answer an extraordinary question get your application ready now!
