I "made" this video (more of a podcast really) by imputing seven of my papers into Google's NotebookLM AI. It's not perfect (those graphs are a mess) but it has a strong narrative, and it's probably more accurate than most science podcasts.

If you’re interested in joining us, please send your CV and a cover letter detailing your interest and suitability for the position to [email protected] by November 1, 2024. Feel free to reach out with any questions! (end 🧵)

We offer a diverse, supportive lab environment that emphasizes curiosity and discovery. Our lab is part of a vibrant animal behavior community at the University of Lethbridge, spanning ethology, behavioral ecology, and behavioral neuroscience in birds, mammals, and inverts. (5/6)

Valuable skills include: · Acoustic analysis. · Advanced statistics (e.g., mixed models, multivariate analyses, Bayesian approaches). · Programming in R and Python. · Scientific writing. · Spanish language ability (helpful for fieldwork in Puerto Rico). (4/6)

We are looking for students with a solid background in evolution and animal behavior, who share our passion for animal communication. (3/6)

Our lab, led by Principal Investigator Dr. David Logue, investigates interactive vocal communication, communication networks, song type repertoires, and vocal performance in the tropical songbird, Adelaide’s warbler. (2/6)

The Birdsong Lab at the University of Lethbridge is seeking 1-2 motivated graduate students to join us starting in Fall 2025. Funding is available. (a🧵1 /6)

I want a shirt like this, but better. Needs the flaming Thrasher logo, and a better bird image.

This AMAZING workshop for BIPOC graduate student in Animal Behavior is entirely FREE to students from any country. English - Spanish translation will be available. Please retweet! #AnimalBehavior #DiversifyingSTEM

Congratulations to M.Sc. student Peter Mower who successfully defended his thesis "Agonistic Singing Behaviour in Adelaide's Warblers!" Peter found that song rate and song type switch rate decrease around the time of natural territorial encounters.
