1/7 Vocal mimicry, robots, and music

The ability to mimic sounds could be extremely common among corvids. Here, it has been found in 39 species (30%), but it is predicted that it could be present in around 82% of them.

This special day was filled with a huge bag of mixed feelings, from excitement to nervousness, happiness to anxiety, from the eagerness to answer the opponent's questions to the curiosity of further elaborating on research over dinner. It was an amazing day, and I thank all of you who participated 🎊

I am so thankful for my supervisors @andrearavignani.bsky.social and @profsimonfisher.bsky.social for their guidance and encouragement throughout the past years. Without them, none of this would have been possible, I call myself lucky to having been their PhD student.
