So excited to share what started as a summer 2020 pandemic lab rotation with @RyanWSchwark and ended as a review in eLIFE together with @fuxjagerlab. I am sure review will be controversial but hopefully interesting!

[GRC/GRS NMAC @GRC_NMAC_2024]

The NMAC GRS is a two-day meeting (May 18-19) before the GRC just for early-career researchers! All talks will be selected from submitted abstracts. We're modifying deadlines so excuse any confusion. To be considered for a talk, please submit an abstract before March 31, 2024!

[GRC/GRS NMAC @GRC_NMAC_2024]

There seems to be two meetings: what's the deal? The NMAC GRC is the main conference for scientists from all career stages on May 19-24, 2024 at Sunday River, Maine. The preliminary program can be found here (https://t.co/cIUMv9pLMu); the deadline for applications is April 21.

[Marc Schmidt @Marc_F_Schmidt]

This is a fantastic meeting and we are looking for applicants. We have funds to support applicants submitting abstracts. Over a dozen speakers will be chosen from abstracts, so send your in now!

[GRC/GRS NMAC @GRC_NMAC_2024]

1) Time to submit abstracts! The 2024 Neural Mechanisms of Acoustic Communication GRC is drawing closer. There's an awesome line-up of speakers working with birds, flies, monkeys, fish, snakes and more. Additional speakers will be selected from abstracts. Please spread the word!

[GRC/GRS NMAC @GRC_NMAC_2024]

We are excited to announce that registration is open for the 2024 Neural Mechanisms of Acoustic Communication Gordon Research Conference. The preliminary program is now live: https://t.co/cIUMv9pLMu

We invite everyone to apply! See you @ Sunday River, Maine, May 19-24, 2024.

If you are interested in exploring the biological bases of animal natural cognition, consider joining me and a superb neuroscience community at @PennSAS @PennMindCORE @PennNGG. I’ll be recruiting curious, diverse and driven people at all levels to start 2025. Get in touch!

[Marc Schmidt @Marc_F_Schmidt]

Super excited to welcome Nacho to the Penn community and grow our strength in computational neuroethology and the study of neural circuits within naturalistic social environments.

[Nacho Sanguinetti🥸 @neuroetho]

Couldn’t be more excited to join a great community of talented people at the Faculty of Psychology and with natural and high interaction with de Department of Biology and Penn medicine. @MichaelLouisPl1 @Marc_F_Schmidt Nick Betley @mediaMIKEcheck Joe Kable @neimarkgeffen and more

Hooray, our paper is out in @CurrentBiology! Congrats to first author @PatrykZiobro258 and the rest of the team, and thanks also to our excellent reviewers for their critical input! @CornellPsychDpt

Super proud my two star undergrads (at the time) on the paper, Alexandra Perlegos @AlexPerlegos and especially first author Jessie Burke @jessiburd for taking this to the finish line!

[Alexandra Perlegos @AlexPerlegos]

Congratulations 🎉 @jessiburd @alltheperkes @Marc_F_Schmidt Delighted to share our work which unveils the responsiveness of song control nuclei in zebra finches to non-auditory feedback. From my undergrad days! 🐦🧠

Awesome—the rhythm and the computational value of vasculature, #hemoneuralhypothesis

[Penn NGG @PennNGG]

We are extremely proud of NGG student Erin Purvis for receiving this incredible honor! Way to go, Erin!!

[Ishmail Abdus-Saboor @IshmailSaboor]

Before and after receiving the Young Investigator Award from @SfNtweets. Deeply grateful to my lab, mentors, collaborators, friends, my parents, and my beautiful wife and kids.

[Marc Schmidt @Marc_F_Schmidt]

Very excited to announce this GRC which I am co-chairing with Mala Murthy. I also want to encourage applications from students, postdocs and junior faculty who have never attended a Gordon Conference and who interested in this topic.

#ABS2023 so proud of @Marc_F_Schmidt sharing the fun behavior and communication our team is conducting! You can see his famous male cowbird mating display 🐦‍⬛ suspected to correlate to song quality. Much deserved celebratory din 🍻🍜

[Marc Schmidt @Marc_F_Schmidt]

Cool analysis of meeting coverage. Love it!

[Marc Schmidt @Marc_F_Schmidt]

Starlings have amazing abilities to mimic other vocalizations. But ask them to mimic cowbird song and they can't do it. Too difficult!

[Marc Schmidt @Marc_F_Schmidt]

Wonderful visit yesterday by @mlong11215. So nice finally catching up in person and getting a chance to show him our "smart aviary" and chatting about cool cowbird social behavior.

[Animal Prattle @animal_prattle]

New review from @LabVallentin and @ArkarupBanerjee on vocal turn-taking, including work from authors, as well as @katietschida1 @BioRodriguez @ericfortunephd @mlong11215 @gacastellucci @evolbrain and others (please tag who I am missing if you know them!)

@NitsanGoldstein @AmberAlhadeff @__Matt_Carter__ Big HUGE congratulations Nitsan. So sorry I missed your defense (I was on a trip in Canada). You have been such an inspiration to all of us on the 3rd floor of Lynch!

[Marc Schmidt @Marc_F_Schmidt]

@gordonberman @EmoryUniversity @emorycollege Such wonderful news Gordon! Congratulations on both counts!
