Was an action packed and exciting 5 weeks spent at @kitp-ucsb.bsky.social for the #kitp_qbio program! Looking forward to seeing where active sensing navigates to in the coming years

5-minute chalk talk with @kitp-ucsb.bsky.social QBIO team today discussing my work with hawkmoths, visuomotor control, and pattern vision 🦋👁️🌺

@katrinvogt.bsky.social representing @uni-konstanz.de at the #KITP Neurosensing/QBio program, presenting work on the social life of fly larvae! 🪰🪱

Captured a couple shots of this cool lady today. No idea the species though 🕷️

Very cool brief visit with the @multipleye-lab.bsky.social 🕷️👁️ forgot to take a spider photo but the fish collection was quite cool 🐟

Ah cool! Good choice in lepidopteran 😉

Lepidopteran patrons of Ye Olde Tavern (the sugar syringe)

Post-surgery recovery by the lake on a 20-degree day is not so bad 😎

The very hungry Macroglossum 🐛🦋

Borrowed from @magicianscard, but it’s so accurate 😂

Sneak peek of some exciting work (click to view full panel) I'll be sharing on my poster at the Foraging and Information Seeking conference in Lyon next week! Let's discuss individuality, sensorimotor control, computer vision, and insect foraging 🤩👨‍🔬

Discussed plant-pollinator interactions over the past two days in Munich, with the Bavarian Academy of Science! I presented my PhD work and discussed how modern computational tools can better investigate the interaction between pollinating insects 🐝🪰🦋 and flowers 🌷🌹🌸🌼🌻🌺

Been hard to find the same community on here as on Tw!tter, but celebrating starting my 2nd year of the PhD with lots of neat results from my first project 😁 if you’re interested in thinking about creating some open-source analysis tools using existing methods (e.g. DeepLabCut), let’s talk ⚒️
