Call for contributions to our symposium on animal collective movement in complex environments at SICB 2026 in Portland, OR! Submit your abstract to our complementary sessions and join us for two days of fun discussing and exchanging research on the biomechanics and energetics of animal movement!

I am excited to share that my first postdoc research paper is out!! Thanks to the great collaboration with Radhika Nagpal and Abigail Girma at Princeton Engineering and @georgelauder.bsky.social , Yangfan Zhang, and Yu Pan at @harvardoeb.bsky.social

I'm thrilled to announce that I will be joining Tufts Mechanical Engineering in January 2026!! 🐘🐘🐘

Yesterday was the darkest day of my professional life so far. Many of NSF’s best and brightest people fired indiscriminately. The terms of their firing cruel. My colleagues matter, they are valued and they make a difference. I have no words. www.npr.org/2025/02/18/n...

*POSTDOC JOB* If you are excited about animal sociality/cognition, are computationally-inclined, and are looking for a postdoc, I'll be hiring soon! Please come talk to me today or tomorrow at #SICB2025, or reach out over email. Official ad coming soon!

Looking forward to #SICB2025! I'm presenting in two symposiums on elephants and bio-inspired materials! The first symposium is Saturday, January 4, from 10:00 am-10:30 am in Marquis C. If you are interested in entanglement, collagen imaging techniques, or biological composites, come by!

What is the significance of the tremendous diversity of #shark skin #denticles? Presenting our experimental approach to understanding this at the Atlanta #SICB2025 meetings. Come to the session for all things shark skin!

Non-native English speakers need 50% more time to write a paper

When they do, they face a 2.5 times higher chance of being rejected because of language

I just love that there is now a butterfly 🦋 on my home screen and there are many great biologists in there

BLACK WOMEN IN #STEM

i made a starter pack for black women in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics and would really love to keep adding to it so please hmu if you fit the criteria or know someone who does! 🧪
