Started fieldwork again today, trying to finish the dataset I've been talking about for the past couple months 😁 first time running trials in both the morning and evening tide!

@_francae Thank you!! :) solid yes to all, really looking forward to looking at more data 😁

[Li Veiros @fish_inspector]

Just got some really cool preliminary results I can't wait to talk about at @SNSC2024 and #ASABSpring2024
😁😁😁

And round 3! If you're at the @SchoolofBiology PGR conference come talk to me this afternoon and let me try to convince you that these gobies might be doing something cool 🐟👀

[Li Veiros @fish_inspector]

Ready for another round! If you're at #ASABspring2024 come around poster 24 from 13h today and check out the cutest fish I found in my videos (so far). Besides the gobies, thanks to Katie as well for this photo.

#Hoje é dia 25 de Abril.

Há 50 anos, o Movimento das Forças Armadas punha fim a 48 anos de ditadura. Portugal vivia “o dia inicial, inteiro e limpo”, como escreveria Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen. O país saía à rua para celebrar a conquista da liberdade e começava o seu caminho na construção da democracia.

Por isso, até 2026, celebramos 50x2. Comemoramos 50 anos de Liberdade e 50 anos de Democracia, para preservar o legado de Abril e projetá-lo no futuro.

Também por isso, hoje saímos à rua. Esta festa é de todos, com todos e para todos. Junte-se às celebrações e identifique-nos nas suas partilhas. Participe e traga outro amigo também.

Thanks to my groupmates, not on Twitter, including Jude Lynch ^-^ for indulging me and talking about fish all day 🐟👌

On day 1 of #ASABSpring2024 we used AI to answer the question: "Does stickleback approach behaviour vary with group size and stimulus type?"
We found that AI wasn't particularly useful for the statistics, but it did produce some writing and figures, exhibit A:

Other highlights include this ChatGPT generated title: "Sticking Together: Examining Collective Action Challenges in Stickleback Groups"

and my personal favourite: translating three-spined sticklebacks to "espinhosos", aka the spiny ones 🌵🐟

75% of research staff on fixed-term contracts at the University of St. Andrews: https://t.co/WzSFtXyKnc

This is higher than the national average as well.

Thrilled to go back into this job market in a few years, what would life be without a bit of financial insecurity?
