Thrilled to share our new paper is out in
@Science!
How do pigeons detect magnetic field? Together with @spencerbalay we screened their brains - and found some surprising answers! https://t.co/4D2rQrlZVq
Big thanks to all fantastic coauthors

Microbiomes shape our biology from gut-brain, skin, immunology, and more. Here, Rebecka Sepela et al explores octopus “taste by touch” sensation to ask how environmental microbiomes drive animal behavior. @CellPressNews, @MCB_Harvard, @MBLScience

Where do new animal traits come from? We studied walking fish with “legs” to understand the evolution of novel organs and behavior.

How to evolve all of the olfactory receptors tuned to the myriads of odorants:

Just don't. Let the brain deal with the problem. Super cool work from the ruta lab @RockefellerUniv! https://t.co/pzshAXtb6d

🐦 Beautiful work by @HannahPaynePhD, Galen Lynch & Dmitriy Aronov fresh off the printing press at @ScienceMagazine!
Please welcome to the stage… the first ever avian place cells.
