Robber flies intercept their victims on the wing and now @samueltfabian and @FlySy_Lab have discovered that the aeronauts use a simultaneous combination of obstacle avoidance with their conventional interception strategy to bring down dinner

New open access paper out on the wonderful Gnat Ogre (Holcocephala fusca), with @FlySy_Lab, in @J_Exp_Biol . In it, you can find out how these tiny killers deal with physical obstacles on their way to hunt lunch on the wing. 1/6

Yes, 2020 is mad. But there is also great things: @DrKateFeller is starting as an Assitant Professor at union college!!!!
Not only she is an incredible scientist, she is also an amazing artist. I will update with pics of this, most awesome lab present, on the lab wall.

Mantis shrimp male good life coaches.
A little embroidered piece I made for for my mentor, friend, and colleague @FlySy_Lab
Thanks for the memories! #mantisshrimp

Hey! 📢 Let's make the planned furloughs at the Uni fair.
The proposed plan hits the lower earners the hardest (rate of cuts is highest for lowest earners).
THIS IS NOT OK. There is an alternative 👇
28 May 2020
Interesting observations on proposed faculty furloughs: 1) Rate of cuts increase faster for <$100K salaries than $100-300K range; 2) Median salary of plan creators is $220K. "Unflatten the curve" to save the same amount, but in a more equitable way. sites.google.com/umn.edu/unf…

With the help of tiny fruit flies, a new study in @CurrentBiology from ASRC researcher @orieshafer and @BarnardCollege researcher @mariadelapax is shedding light on how circadian network neurons do the work of adjusting the body clock.

Hamed Rajabi and colleagues suggest that flying insects exhibit a great resilience to wing injuries not only because wings have evolved to be damage tolerant but also because insects might compensate for wing damage by altering wing kinematics.
