Graduate student and postdoctoral researcher champion Maxime Blanchette-Joncas explains how developing, retaining and attracting research talent should be a top priority for Canada. Justin Trudeau Chrystia Freeland #SupportOurScience in #SOSBudget2024

Ok. Cannibal nematodes, caught on video! J. Chad Johnson youtu.be/jUTAa5FSL3k?si…

It was truly an honour to receive this award and attend this wonderful conference. Many thanks to everyone involved in organizing CISAB, Indiana University #ABC2024 .

Wow! Learning about a new (to me) polyphenism in nematodes- Cannibal or not- morphology is key to activity & predatory success. Can get mismatch of morphology & behaviour. Fascinating talk by undergrad Rose Nicholson in CISAB, Indiana University Ragsdale lab ragslab.bio.indiana.edu

Systematic review of literature on novel sources of noise affecting male frog calls. Ana Ospina shows ~80% of studies report change, increased calling. But could do better at describing features of noise. Great tips for future work Ana Maria Ospina-L CISAB, Indiana University bernal-lab.weebly.com

More on frog-biting mosquitoes in the research of Shilpi Singh (she/her);🦗to 🐸biting🦟🧠 -comparing Johnston's organ variation as a function of sound use. Interspecies analysis w/variation in use of sound, comparing male and female organ shows variation aligning with function. Dr. Ximena Bernal lab CISAB, Indiana University

Great talk by Katherine Gonzalez from Dr. Ximena Bernal lab on effect of environment on frog signal transmission. Attenuation is similar in canopy and understory regardless of usual calling habitat of the frog. CISAB, Indiana University katherinegonzalezv.wordpress.com

Frog biting mosquitoes CISAB, Indiana University detect to frog calls, many options, choosing native species = higher quality offspring production and larger larvae. Great talk by Richa Singh, PhD from Dr. Ximena Bernal lab Purdue Science. Future work = species discrimination. bernal-lab.weebly.com

Oops talk was by Prof Brian Gall Hanover College .👏🏾Great to see kudos given to his students on his acknowledgements.

Ooh spider talk! Long-jawed orb weavers (tetragnathidae) able to orient towards, then move to shore when they drop into the water. Study shows they use vision - polarized light is key! Hanover College CISAB, Indiana University sciencenews.org/article/spider…

Visiting beautiful Bloomington for the CISAB, Indiana University 2024 Animal Behavior conference - fantastic regional conference with deep history. Love that it is a single session and heavily student-serving, so I can see every talk! Also, lots of fun public art😄

Radiant, Juliet! Celebrating with you in my ❤️

Kicked off #BHM - @utsc black alumni network's first ever gathering. Ran into a former undergraduate researcher from my lab - now a vice principal! I remember her when...

It was wonderful to get to interview Maydianne Andrade about R. C. Lewontin’s 1990 Massey Lectures, Biology as Ideology: The Doctrine of DNA, at Massey College today. Coming to CBC Radio's Ideas later this season!
