@CIHR_IRSC officially announces the 2024 awardees while I am conducting field experiments (pics below). I am humbled to become a @NSERC_CRSNG #BantingCanada Fellow. As a comparative physiologist, receiving an award named after Dr. Banting is even more meaningful (1/2)
Today, Ministers Holland and Champagne announced the recipients of the 2024 #VanierCanada and #BantingCanada awards. These talented doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers are the future leaders of innovation and research excellence in Canada.

FYI #Biology
Excited to share an opportunity in my new lab at Cambridge! We are looking for a highly motivated, early-career, postdoctoral scientist to be part of a growing effort in #connectivity conservation. 3-yr position housed @CCI_Cambridge

What are the new mechanisms for the collective movement of the animals? Turbulence sheltering hypothesis can shed new light on our thinking. #biology #collective #behaviour
Why do #fish swim in #schools? A🧵and new hypothesis. Schooling could help fish avoid predators, navigate, communicate, find mates and food, and save energy. Here we propose and test a new hypothesis:

I will give an invited talk at #SEBconference on the session of 'Embracing variability: Why it matters and what to do with it'. Thank you to the @SEBiology organizers for illuminating an important topic on #Biology. The preview and time (GMT+2) of the talk are in the picture 👇

This is indeed a very nice collaboration to showcase the connections between laboratory studies with field observations. #Biology
So cool to see my most recent collaboration with @Harvard It shows how intrinsically related environmental photography and science are and how both can evolve together!

I am humbled to work with a wonderful team. More to come. Stay tuned!
Thrilled to see this out! In this work, we tested a bold hypothesis: Do fish in schools benefit from their leaders laminarizing flow? The answer is yes. We found reduction in energy consumption and more regular tail beat patterns when in school & in laminar flow. Thread 👇

What a great piece on @ScienceMagazine ! Tour de Fish is a great title for the piece. It is especially bringing it home for me as I am a cyclist too!
Lovely piece by @MadelineReinsel in @ScienceMagazine about @TheYangfanZHANG & @georgelauder's #PLOSBiology article on the energetic benefits of swimming together in rough waters:
