Prof Nathan Lepora Nathan Lepora is introducing his team’s work on vision based tactile sensing and in-hand tactile dexterity!

Great fun at last night's Gala Dinner at the stunning St Georges Events. #biologists100

Our efforts continue to diversify our #BiologistsWorkshops programme to support a wider selection of research communities around the world. If you are a researcher working in the Global South, find out more about hosting a Workshop near you. biologists.com/workshops/prop…

Thanks so much to The Company of Biologists and Journal of Experimental Biology for organising such an amazing meeting. We were all looked after fabulously. 😃😊😀

Do not miss this great event

Can you help save this increadibly ugly but also cute critter? Dentally and optically challenged, the blind mole-rat is heading towards extinction fast. Needs to be translocated to safe places. Mammal Conservation Europe #wildlife #nature #conservation gofund.me/b7b1a8a3

Finally on route home after a 6 day data collection trip and 6 day conference stint, at 2 conferences... And check out that amazing whiskered print from Mammal Society photo comp i got 😃

Porcupine whiskers are amazing!!! We are starting off some fun whisker enrichment studies as part of an MSc student project.

Looking for a new challenge? We are seeking an enthusiastic, self-motivated individual to join our team as a face-to-face fundraiser, raising vital funds for our charitable work. Find out more and apply: seabird.org/vacancies/face…

If you’ve got a great idea for a scientific Workshop #BiologistsWorkshops, pitch it to The Company of Biologists biologists.com/workshops/prop… and then, if successful, sit back and let The Company of Biologists do the organising so you can focus on the science Deadline for applications: 30 May 2025

Have you seen our new #MammalReview call for papers on Surveying and monitoring mammals in a changing world? If you have an idea for a suitable review, do submit :) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/1… Mammal Society Wiley Ecology & Evolution

Check out our new paper in Journal of Anatomy using Ansys FEA and bend tests to show that seal whiskers are stiffer - in both shape and material - than terrestrial species. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jo…

🦭🔥Hot off the press! 🔥🦭 Check out this exciting work from Robyn Grant and colleagues looking at the wonderful world of whiskers! #anatomy #comparative #whiskers

Excited to share my review Journal of Physiology : Can we study whisker movements to gain insights into the natural sensory behaviours of mammals? doi.org/10.1113/JP2880… I recommend developing more social and active foraging tasks and including a wider variety of species in lab studies

Abstract submission open for The Mechanistic Basis of Foraging 2025 (U. Birmingham, 3-5 November) uobevents.eventsair.com/the-mechanisti… Deadline: August 17 A meeting for all fascinated by the brain's role in foraging Pls share!
