I'm excited to announce that I will join UMBC Biology as an assistant professor as a part of the UM-FIRST cohort. The Li lab will focus on the neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying complex social behaviors, including aggression, mating behavior, and parental care in fishes!

Check out our new paper with cool results on a by-product mutualism in group hunting striped marlin! The study is based on my masters and is now published in Functional Ecology! For more info and a cool video check thread below and find the paper here: tinyurl.com/msn5uw7s

Also thanks a lot to everyone involved from CollectiveLabs and beyond! Félicie Dhellemmes 🦈 , Alicia Burns , Palina Bartashevich

NEW PAPER ALERT! Predator exposure early in life stabilises and keeps among-individual behavioral variation low. New study using clonal Amazon mollies revealed. Congrats for the great work Ulrike Scherer and Molly Kressler! #teamfish #animalpersonality rdcu.be/dUbLa

Thank you ISBE2024 for the travel award and giving me the opportunity to present my research and visit this beautiful country! #ISBE2024

Nailed it 🔨🥳 two weeks until the defense ⏳

We’re seeking a postdoc/student excited about animal communication, brain-wide circuits, microscopy, singing fish (Danionella), wacky ideas and who likes to: get things done, experiment, analyse, ask, learn, help and cooperate. jlab.berlin Please RT

Fantastic international conference of Poeciliid Biologists at Texas State University just ended. Big thank you to Cummings and Gabor-Asbury labs for great organisation! Here are some impressions...and yes, we helpt @michitobler to catch some fish! See you '26 in Padua!
