Out latest on starlings: Group augmentation underlies the evolution of complex sociality in the face of environmental instability. It took >20 years of data, but we finally understand why they are plural breeders. Shailee Shah, PhD pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Paper from my 1st postdoc- - investigating plasticity in thermal traits as an arbiter of sexual selection, w/ GeoffWhile Zachary Borthwick Professor Erik Wapstra - is ONLINE American Naturalist !! This has truly been a labor of love. Chuffed about this one. 🦎 journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.10…

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Paper from my Masters thesis online now! Amazing working under the supervision of GeoffWhile and Jen Moss with help from Professor Erik Wapstra and the rest of the BEER Group

In a new study researchers characterized the acoustic properties of the egg-feeding call in poison frogs and compared them to other well-known male call types for advertisement and courtship. Learn more at bit.ly/3NzColm

Excited to share my first data paper out of the Sheehan lab, studying alternative behavioral tactics in genetically identical, re-wilded lab mice! How does male behavior look different under different social conditions? Pre-print here, and thread below: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The home office setup today. Waiting for transport 👀

My research focuses on individual variation in behavior; how it develops, changes across lifespans & environs, & what role it plays in evolution. Sarah Westrick #ABSTakeover 1/5

Recently, there has been an exciting push to "rewild” neuroscience behavioral neuroscience which includes expanding to study systems beyond lab-adapted model organisms Sarah Westrick #ABSTakeover 1/4

This was fun! I recently got to talk poison frogs and parental care on the AmphibiCast podcast. Thanks, Dan for having me on! buzzsprout.com/1186808/137343…

New paper alert! "Evidence for individual vocal recognition in a pair-bonding poison frog." Great work led by (then) undergraduate researcher Molly Podraza of fischer lab 😁🐸 journals.biologists.com/jeb/article-ab…

As a #NewPI, I couldn't be more chuffed to be welcoming my first cohort of graduate students this August. It's extra special when one of them wins a #NSFGRFP. CONGRATS, Rowan Ward! 🎉 Can't wait to start this awesome work with you.

I know a very talented researcher who received the U.S. National Science Foundation GRFP in neuroscience (amazing!) but was not admitted to any PhD programs this cycle. Any #neuroscience PhD prgms able to consider a trainee with 3 yrs funding so they don't need to decline the award? (Can't defer it seems)
