Punch is a Japanese macaque at Ichikawa City Zoo who went viral carrying a stuffed orangutan around. We used him as a test case for LabGym - and the results were surprisingly clean.

We used the AI-powered tool LabGym to analyze the behavior of Punch 🐒—a Japanese macaque at Ichikawa City Zoo who recently became a social media sensation.

Huge credit to Bobby Tomlinson @btoml, a talented computer scientist in my lab at the University of Michigan, who is leading this project. Three fantastic undergraduates Alisa Ficiciyan, Myra Lyu, and Alexander Chumak contributed to this work.

Our goal: democratize animal behavior analysis with AI. We hope this project makes LabGym more accessible—and empowers anyone to study the animals they care about.

I’ve been having so much fun designing covers for @theblockm & @michigandaily ! Shoutout to the football beat and photo staff for the amazing coverage and content! Here are the front covers from the past few weeks, including @UMichFootball’s most recent win against the Spartans👇

[Zach Edwards @zachedwards04]

Super excited to have my story on the front cover after Michigan's win Saturday over Michigan State! Huge shoutout to Annabelle who killed it with the design as she always does!

New preprint out now with @byneuron and our team! Clumsy, a kainate-type glutamate receptor, mediates noxious cold behavioral avoidance in fruit flies. This expands our prior work demonstrating this class of receptors also functions as a cold receptor in worms and mammals. 🪰❄️
