We all know from experience that learning & decision-making are context-dependent. In this new(ish) paper "Neural activity patterns differ between learning contexts in a social fish” @maruca221 asked (in collaboration w/ Alex Jordan) how this works: doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2… 1/4

And now for something completely amazing... here's postdoc Dr. Daniela Rößler's incredible work on sleep in jumping spiders, just published in PNASNews. She's got many more wonderful things coming up with this work so stay tuned!

Not too shabby!

Thanks to the organisers! This a great idea for a conference and it’s inspiring to see so many junior researchers with such fascinating questions.

Wow - our jumping spider research was (very visibly!) highlighted in Science Magazine 🤩💚🕷️. Paper: pnas.org/doi/full/10.10… Highlight: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

As we prepare for fieldwork, this is a great resource to understand diverse experiences, for ideas on best-practice in conducting research in the field, and for creating safe, representative spaces for researchers.

Come on over - hear about the wonderful seismic world of spider sensing, maybe even walk a mile in their (8) shoes...?

Just four days to go until our Biotopia Festival SENSE: The Power of Perception, in Nymphenburg Palace Munich, Oct 1-2, w Dominik Eulberg Cosmo Sheldrake Ed Yong is not here Crossmodal Lab @OpheliaDeroy Alex Jordan Bill Hansson hope you can join us! biotopia.net/en/sinne-progr…

First day of the rest of our (field season). Lake Tanganyika shows her welcoming side…

Field team meeting under the old mango tree, talking through ideas in the Mpulungu heat. About as far away from a GPU cluster as you can imagine!

Really looking forward to meeting everyone here - a fantastic concept for a symposium!

Getting ready to kickoff Bauhaus of the Seas event in the incredible space @HCBeato

This should be great - a real opportunity to get together with experts on data visualization...

A fun story about a little fish and the BIG splash that it made...

Getting our feet wet at Lake Tanganyika once again

🦉 We invite you to listen to the echoes of the #10yearsEULIFE conference! 🎙️ Alex Jordan, Group Leader at Alex Jordan, gave a powerful talk about how #art inspires #science and the true nature of meaningful collaborations between artists & scientists
