Have you see what the
@flammanglab.bsky.social #lab is up to lately?
This lab #researches the functional #morphology of #fishes & other swimmers, living and extinct & much more!

new PIV system is in!

Screen shot of the top of the first page of the Journal of Experimental Biology Editorial, JEB launches a new article type for theory and modelling studies, written by S. N. Patek, Monica A. Daley, Matthew McHenry and Sanjay Sane. The first sentence of the Editorial reads: JEB recently launched a new article type called Theory & Modelling.

Find out more about JEB's new article type, Theory & Modelling, allowing scientists to publish research leveraging modelling and theory to address new biological questions, in Sheila Patek, Monica Daley, Matt McHenry & Sanjay Sane's Editorial

See you there!

Oh they have the BEST questions (I have 2 first graders myself). I’m down!

What kind of science questions do you want answered? We are studying their biomechanics.

#Education resource! Over the years I created this collection of colored skull #3Dmodels for teaching. They're available to download on MorphoSource & to view on Sketchfab. Because of recent changes to Sketchfab, I migrated them to my website: www.graysvertebrateanatomy.com/work/colorso... (1/3)

Please follow my list of Indigenous scientists! I accidentally deleted my first starter park -- but recreated it with even more names. Who else needs to be added?

Are you interested in learning about how engineering and physics can be applied to study the motions of #plants, #invertebrates, and #animals? Here's a non-exhaustive list of Comparative Biomechanists to get started! 🦋 🐟 🦎 🌿 🧪

Apologies for any that I may have been missed.

@formorphology.bsky.social This one is absolutely magnificent.

A criticism I've seen of Bluesky since the Great Migration has been that lots of scientists have joined, but many of the Black scientists who made Science Twitter great hadn't.

This week so far, @misselasmo.bsky.social and @official-bweems.bsky.social joined! Please don't be assholes to them.

Welcome to the NEW Journal of Experimental Biology Bluesky feed. We are very excited to be here & are looking forward to talking about the amazing research that we publish in #comparativephysiology, #neuroethology and #biomechanics

Great presentation by Cat Eno at the MTS NJ Chapter Student Symposium!

Every conference should have a puppy play zone.

Seminar announcement for “Flying Fish swimming gliding and aerial-aquatic transitions”

Come hear about flying fish this morning at OSM24!

Awww thanks Cat Eno!

🧪 It’s not always rainbows and robots on Monterey Bay, but sometimes it is! 🌈

You’ve probably heard about the storm front that made its way through California this week. Despite the rough seas, our long-range AUV team got out on the bay between bouts of rain.

In case literally anyone was wondering my advisor @flammanglab.bsky.social is a BOSS and a half!!!!!

Awww 🥰 Only because I have the most amazing people in my lab - you all lift me up and make me happy on the regular. Go team us!

If you think your research would benefit from doing a postdoc in a diverse and welcoming lab that supports morphology, biomechanics, fluid dynamics, and bioinspired robotics - let me know. I’m happy to help you draft your NSF PRFB concept!

Mentorshp Programs for women of color and non-binary people of color in EEB. 1. 1-on-1 mentorship assigned 1 mentor and 1 mentee, slightly different career stages, complete mentorship agreement form, meet about once per month, helps the mentee create and achieve goals 2. Peer mentorship groups of five people, same career stage, will be provided with optional activities to do together, meet about once per month, create a supportive peer group Use the same form to sign up for both programs https://forms.gle/aayHUWwhzroFSY1t6 To learn more about mentorshp at WOC in EEB, visit wocineeb.org/mentoring Do you identify as a woman of color or non-binary person of color and work or study in ecology, evolutionary biology, or allied field? Come join us on the WOC in EEB Slack! wocineeb.org

If you're a woman of color or nonbinary person of color in ecology, evolutionary bio, or allied fields, sign up for our mentorship programs!

We have both peer mentorship and 1-on-1 mentorship programs.

Deadline to join is September 15.

Please share widely!

Seeking ecologists with a #fieldworkfail to share If you’re an ecologist who has ever worked in the field, I’d love to hear from you.

Are you an ecologist? I'd love to chat to you about you experiences in the field as background research for Fieldwork, our short film project. I'm curious to know what you're studying, where, why & what's ever gone wrong (because something always does!)

We are also not a gap in the crowd and can not be walked through

We shark people feel that deeply.
