sorry @wishartae it seems I was too wrapped up in your talk to snap a pic!

[Laurence Feyten, PhD @LFeyten]

I am also so honoured to have presented at the @CSEE_SCEE Doctoral Excellence Award Plenary alongside @jdunic @usui_takuji @alexhareBiology & @wishartae, all of whom are incredibly impressive & are also lovely humans. ♾️ thanks to @cdrobich & others for coordinating @beepeg2023

[Laurence Feyten, PhD @LFeyten]

That’s a wrap on @beepeg2023 @CSEE_SCEEmtgs, where I thoroughly enjoyed many talks. Especially thought-provoking were plenaries from @carlyziter and @akmenzies. Plus, congrats to my @biologyatCU colleagues Alix Brusseau and Shao Doyon-Degroote on their excellent presentations‼️🎉

You might have heard of GitHub, and probably ventured into it, or even use it regularly. However, have you ever wondered if it is worth it to learn and integrate it more into your research projects?

Our review, which we wrote entirely using GitHub (!), provides a few ideas!

@VeronicaGroves7 @biologyatCU Thanks Veronica ☺️

[Laurence Feyten, PhD @LFeyten]

@drkathchurchie Thanks Kathleen!!

[Laurence Feyten, PhD @LFeyten]

So excited for this @CSEE_SCEE @CSEE_SCEEmtgs award, and for the opportunity to present my research @beepeg2023 !

Congratulations to CSEE Doctoral Research Award winner Laurence Feyten!

Laurence is interested in understanding prey behavioural responses to uncertain risk. She examines how prey responses to novelty are shaped by the information source, the environment, and prey experience

A thread for PIs on supporting Black students:

I cried to my PI yesterday.

I was explaining that I’m trying my best. Even in the midst of all this, I am TRYING to be a good grad student.

I was trying to force myself to write my advancement document all last week. I couldn’t.

Great #EcoEvoEnto2019 #talk by @demers_em: background #predation risk does not affect neophobic responses towards new #foraging opportunities

[Laurence Feyten, PhD @LFeyten]

Today I gave a talk on some of my PhD thesis work. Thanks @pierre_chuard for capturing it! #EcoEvoEnto2019

#EcoEvoEnto2019 #talk by @LFeyten: #guppies use various available cues in their environment (e.g. social, chemical) when adjusting their antipredator response to novel cues

[Christos Ioannou @C_C_Ioannou]

Looking for a postdoc to join us @BristolBioSci to work on our virtual prey system. Previous work published in @sciencemagazine @PNASNews @BehavEcol. 7 months starting early October, applications by 26th May. Please RT! https://t.co/uivD5UQNkN

[Laurence Feyten, PhD @LFeyten]

Check out my latest #BES paper below on how the diversity and spatial predictability of novel cues influence #neophobic #antipredator responses in #guppies.

It's #FactFriday! This new CSP blog post describes a study that found that guppies will respond to stress signals in the water. The more scared fish, the larger the response! From the Canadian Journal of #Zoology. https://t.co/J5qrYgKA5T #fishsci

@AnglerEli @thefraserlab @zacherywells @BernosThais @gabbiche_n @kiamarin @NiaKrasteva Congrats Elizabeth!!!

[Laurence Feyten, PhD @LFeyten]

Super excited to have a paper I co-authored with @jandrewgoldman and @demers_em selected as Editor's Choice! Check it out below:
#disturbancecues #chemicalecology #behavioralecology

[Canadian Science Publishing @cdnsciencepub]

Read the new Editor's Choice article from the Canadian Journal of Zoology! Does donor group size matter? The response of guppies and convict cichlids to disturbance cues from conspecific and heterospecific donors. https://t.co/90Ulud9bzY

[Jack Goldman @jandrewgoldman]

Tested the age-old prediction that disturbance cues are generalized cues... Spoiler alert: they aren't! - Check out my first paper @cdnsciencepub
