Ready for #ARVO2022! I will be presenting my research on Wednesday about using a novel multi-depth plane display to study #strabismus (among other things). Bex Lab

After many months, I am excited to showcase my PFTF project, Inkscape for STEM. Figures are critical for communicating our work (papers, grants, presentations). But Illustrator and BioRender are expensive. Inkscape is a free, vector-based software that can fill this gap. 1/4

This is a good question that comes up regularly. Having dealt with appeals as an author, a reviewer, & an editor at multiple journals (currently, Proceedings of the Royal Society B), I have thoughts: (1/x)

#SciTwitter What has your experience been of using pre-prints for your papers? Would you recommend? Have you ever experienced problems of people continue to find/cite your pre-print even after the peer-reviewed paper has been published? #AcademicTwitter

Smartphone cameras for quantitative eye movement assessment? Our paper finally out, with a few exciting new aspects incentivized in a great review process.

⚖️The double-anonymous peer review trial indicates reviewer bias is reduced when author identities are anonymised: when reviewers did not know whose paper they were reviewing, peer review outcomes were similar across author demographics... 📙buff.ly/3U7uyAA📙

Move over bees, there's a new pollinator in town! Brazilian scientists have discovered the first known example of a plant-pollinating amphibian! 🐸🌺The fruit-eating tree frog disperses seeds and carries pollen grains on its back after searching for nectar bit.ly/43Jvz67

New paper by Dr Martin John How on polarization vision in terrestrial crabs found one of the sp. tested had a different sensitivity to pol contrasts compared to other crustaceans. Proud to have contributed alongside @DrDavidWilby & Alasdair Robertson. #colsci link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Interested in hearing about how radial frequency and amplitude affects detection of camouflaged targets? I am presenting my poster in Banyan Breezeway at #VSS2023.
