One of my favorite things about being a scientist is that every new project brings new opportunities to step outside my comfort zone and incorporate new perspectives and techniques. This also means working with awesome people! Jen Moss #ABStakeover

For my final #ABSTakeover thread, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that no scientific journey is linear, and everyone’s path is full of twists and turns. Mine is no exception. Jen Moss

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_shah93 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

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

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.
