Hello mastodon world! :) As academics, we’re very well used to moving IRL so this virtual move feels like business as usual, easy peasy lemon squeezy 😋 Looking forward to this new virtual adventure, so far it seems to be pretty awesome! As some of you may already know, my lab is using experimental evolution to evolve cognition in #drosophila so I will be posting about #drosophila #brain #evolution #popgen #neuroscience #cognition #behavior #genetics #academia and more :)

“THAT’S HOW THEY ROLL!” Check out our preprint on larval rolling behavior out now on bioRxiv! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.03.514605v1

#introduction post:

Hi! I’m Michael and I’m broadly interested in the proximate and ultimate causes of behavioral evolution. For my PhD I studied the genetic basis of mating behavior evolution and it’s role in reproductive isolation. For my postdoc in the Benton lab I am integrating a neurobio approach to compare how the brains and behaviours of broadly distributed #drosophila species respond to environmental variation relative to our equatorial endemic focal species, D. sechellia.

Hi all: Less Twitter #migration and more Mastodon exploration. I’m a university professor, technology educator, data analyst, and futurist. I’m intrigued by all things #tech ; #data ; #programming ; #iot ; #ai ; #entrepreneurship ; #neuroscience ; #outdoors ; #biking ; #photography and many other things I have yet to discover! Filed under: #electrical #engineer currently living in a #business college world.

Hello, @Mastodon 👋 A quick #intro

I'm a #science and #technology journalist and an editor at MIT Technology Review, where I commission articles from writers, journalists, and experts. I covered #chips for a few years and have a special interest, in #physics, #materials, #space, and the intersection of technology and society.

Among other things, you'll see me post about our print magazine every couple of months. The latest issue just came out https://www.technologyreview.com/magazines/the-mortality-issue/

In addition to these first records on iNat, I recently learned that a Micrathena spider I found two years ago is an undescribed species! If I were independently wealthy I think I'd move to Ecuador to look for cool new animals.

Folks coming over from Twitter might have already seen this, but I now have four first observations on iNat from my trip to Ecuador!

@jeffjarvis @henrikornebring @Chanders I’m hoping that Influence metric places like Altmetric start factoring toots into their scores. Maybe there will be more impetus for this since so many academics are part of the #TwitterMigration. There is already a server asking for scientists’ publication records before allowing them to join.

I wrote a quick introduction to Mastodon, meant for beginners and with a particular emphasis on scientists. Feel free to share with your community outside of Mastodon!

I guess it's time for an #introduction: Hi, I am an #illustrator primarily doing #sciArt, mostly for #neuroscience. www.somedonkey.work
If you don’t like #mice probably don’t follow me :-)
I am interested in #neuroscience, #contemporaryArt and #literature. Happy to discuss #graphic design and how to improve #scientificFigures.
