Postdoc position on my FriendOrigins project. 10mos but could be 16mos with lots of low-hanging (but interesting!) fruit to be tackled in this replacement post for someone who got a permanent job elsewhere. See here, ref # S73438: jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecrui…. Due Sept 18, start Jan

Every now and again I get to do something really cool for my job. Today was one of those days. Psychtoolbox rendered flying targets each with their own flying rules.

After unforeseen production delays, it was great to return the final proofs of our new edited book back to the production team today. Hopefully not too long to go before it comes out. A massive shout out again to co-editor Ulrika Candolin and our amazing chapter contributors 🙏

We describe how octopus-fish groups can work, can malfunction, and can lead to benefits! Give it a read and don't forget to see the videos for punching, displacements, and examples of solo vs collaborative hunting!! 🐙🐠🐟 Out in NatureEcoEvo!!
