At #SfN25 Early Career session! Come to find me if you want to have an evening chat about the life without cortex, or the slowness of our being! I’ll be at the poster board B9 from 7:45-8, 8:15-8:45!

I’m off to #SfN2025! Grateful for the TPDA sponsor from @sfn.org. I will present in two sessions, details below.

I’m seeking 2026 postdoc positions to continue research in animal cognition/naturalistic behaviors—if you’re looking for a neuroethologist and a mouse whisperer, come to see me!

What's better than having photos featured on their website @caltech.edu? local.caltech.edu/visit/wildlife

I only picked up #wildlife photography a year ago, but the nature encounters along the way have been so rewarding! #nature #birds

A full-brain load at an amazing cognition conference! Great meeting so many scientists with shared research interests — and #bird obsessions 🧠🐦 Conference birding is real!

My first outing of "The Unbearable Slowness of Being" at the Caltech Chen Neuroscience Workshop today! What does living at 10 bits/s mean for humans, flies, mice, and crows? More here: jieyusz.github.io/talks/2025_c...
Thanks to Profs. @cfcamerer.bsky.social & Carlos for the invite!

I'm so heartbroken to see all the homes destroyed by the firestorms in Greater Los Angeles —for both people and wildlife. This palm tree on @caltech.edu campus was once a food bank for resident acorn woodpeckers. My photo was taken just five days before the disaster. #wildfires #birds

Rare bird alert! A clay-colored sparrow and a female common yellow throat were observed on campus, in front of the Chen Neuroscience Research building.

Attached is a piece of art by me for "The Unbearable Slowness of Being: Why do we live at 10 bits/s?"

Hope this will inspire you to think about the brain from a new perspective!

This upcoming winter term @caltech.edu, I’ll lead an undergraduate tutorial on "The Ethology of Learning"👇! It’ll run 10 weeks (1-hour lectures + 2-hour readings per week).

Suggestions for readings + nominations for guest lectures are welcomed! Things to do over the holidays...
