Another milestone: one of my first invited talk at a conference! I even took the liberty of giving a non-data talk, one based largely on ideas. Preparing for it was both exciting and a little intimidating, but the experience was quite rewarding.

I ended up co-organising two symposia with early-career researcher friends. We brought together a diverse mix of speakers, spanning taxa, concepts, tools, and academic stages. Both sessions were well received!

Always a treat to meet old friends and colleagues!
But since it was one of my first conferences as a faculty member, I wasn’t quite prepared for the interest and attention from so many young researchers who initiated conversations. It was truly humbling and gratifying!

Many firsts for the lab at the @Behaviour2025 conference in Kolkata last week! 🎉
Two of our new PhD students (Shivam Shinde and Dhwani Dave) attended their very first Behaviour conference, and had an absolutely great time engaging with the community.
