A crowdfunded project needs to be freely accessible! Checkout some super cool gliding lizard pictures/videos and follow my work in progress! All lab notes are now open access! :D https://t.co/VPnxjNd8Sc

This squirrel’s curiously spiky tail helps it keep its perch in the trees—and may hold the key to developing robotic systems that can explore rainforests. https://t.co/sH8laOt13B

It was really difficult to write, but I am really happy to see this out today in @eLife/@eLifeCommunity about Being Neurodivergent in Academia and being in Germany with AuDHD - please give it a read #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD @MPI_IS @GeorgiaTech https://t.co/RzCsn9lLgT

Project Tiger - a film which showcases how India saved its tigers and all the ups and downs that have happened in the journey. Premier of the film is happening on 4th nov. You can click on the link to register free for the screening along with performance by Indian Ocean (1/2)

Bioinspired robots lead future conservation efforts to preserve our planet. A promising prospect, but what are some operating and environmental considerations to make this a reality?
A perspective on this exciting future with Mrudul C and @SchulzScience_ !

Airships to collect animal behavior data in the wild?

We are one step closer to it!

Check out the video showcasing autonomous tracking of wild horses using an airship in the Hungarian plains.

Finally it’s arrived! Foldscope 2.0. We have been working on this for many years - so thrilled to see this out! Will write a longer thread on new features shortly - but finally we have swappable lenses (3!!). Your support allows us to bring microscopy to all corners of the world.

@RossDynamicsLab @snake_flyer Super cool!

[Pranav Khandelwal @prnvkhndlwl]

@SchulzScience_ We have good timing!

This is a rapidly ;) evolving project! (3/3),

[Pranav Khandelwal @prnvkhndlwl]

Goal: automatic inference of animal behavior in the wild
bottleneck: rapidly generate 'large', 'reliable', and 'behavior dense' annotations for ML
solution: an easy-to-use graphical tool for fast animal detection and behavior classification

We demonstrate our workflow on drone footage of zebras in Mpala, Kenya
bonus: our light-weight network works out of the box on aerial footage of zebras with little fine-tuning and can automate zebra detection and behavior of 'grazing', 'walking', 'standing', and 'running' (2/3)

Our daughter has been diagnosed with this rare brain cancer, DIPG. Due to its rarity, available data and treatment options are limited! Please retweet and If you are aware of any trials, please get in touch! Thank you!

Curious about gliding animals? We provide the most up-to-date state of the field and discuss the similarities and dissimilarities in behavior, morphology, and mechanics of animals ranging from the gliding ant to flying fish!
