It takes a village to tag the robins and I could not have asked for a better village :D @LarsBurnus @sara_dge @RBorrelia @Pablukas @GenMig @ifv_whv et al. Super excited to see what our robins will be up to this year!

The IISERs now only take in students through the IAT, apparently. No more admission through JEE (and KVPY has been scrapped anyway). I'm sure knowing your shot at getting into these "fancy" science institutes now entirely hinges on 1 national level exam isn't stressful at all 😬

Major Changes in IISER ADMISSION process. -> All admission through IAT only. -> now people who have passed class XII in the last three years can apply! (2024/2023/2022, earlier it was two years only)

Does the diversity of anuran iris pattern have an ecological function or is it just beauty in the eye of the beholder? I am happy to share my new paper with @KSSeshadri and @MacrophysLab published in @evoecology @SpringerNature link.springer.com/article/10…

Higher-order dialectic variation and syntactic convergence in the complex warble song of budgerigars

Summary: Budgerigars change the sequence of their songs as flocks associate and dissociate, to convey information about flock identity.
