When you set an Out of Office e-mail message there should be an option to set an additional message that goes out for two or three days afterward reminding people to be gentle with you while you try to claw your way out of the mountain of suddenly urgent tasks that descends on you upon your return 😓

Biologist interested in animal communication. Vibrational, chemical, acoustic you name it. Love all species.
I met a nice young lady from Colombia after my talk who wanted to have coffee with me and chat about our science but I never found her again and did not catch her name. If you see this please send me an email. #ISBE2026
This week there were lots of cool talks on urban wildlife, anthropogenic noise and other fun things at #ISBE2026 We are still looking for submissions for our special issue so maybe your work fits. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal...
Ethology Call for Papers Wildlife in Urban Spaces – Adaptations and Human Perceptions
Ethology is a top international behavioral biology journal, covering physiological mechanisms, function, and evolution across all species.

Very cool idea to print your own T-shirt at #ISBE2026. I was sceptical but it was fun and worked really well. Still on the drying rack though so results tomorrow
I absolutely loved Eva Ringler's Talk this morning. The science was so interesting but also the end was so inspiring. Thank you for making sure this message gets out #ISBE2026
Had a great first day at #ISBE2026 today. Many old friends some new ones and I got to watch my computer scientist husband give a talk about inbreeding.
Great start to #ISBE2026 last night. Thanks to the free childcare both my husband and I can give talks and enjoy the conference while knowing our kids are having fun close by
Thrilled to see our burying beetle model system on the front cover of Journal of Chemical Ecology! We show that maternal pheromone emission during care shows consistent individual differences and appears to reflect maternal investment. @johannes-stoekl.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Happy birthday Sir David Attenborough, One of my favorite Attenborough comics from bird and moon - always makes me smirk :-). I think it is time to start up "Attenborough Movie Thursdays" again.
Please share: We are hosting the 2026 DZG evolutionary biology graduate meeting at Uni Hamburg on March 25-27: "Interactions and Coevolution: from Molecules to Species". #PhD students, early postdocs and advanced Master students in evolutionary biology are welcome to register! t1p.de/dzg2026evolbio
Really enjoyed Magdalena Mairs talk at #DZG2025 on data driven science and the importance of statistics
🚨Anyone want a job?🚨 We have two #postdocs up for grabs! 🧪 - cell developmental biology/#evodevo/#neuroevodevo - bioinformatics and molecular biology Both working on brain evolution in Heliconiini butterflies Details below! Please repost 🙏 1/n
Interesse an eine Masterarbeit in Slowenien zur multimodalen Kommunikation bei Heimchen? Die Arbeit wäre an der Uni Bayreuth angesiedelt, aber könnte bei mir in Slowenien erfolgen. Bitte melden für nähere Informationen.
And so it begins... Moving van will be here in one week to take us to Slovenia. What an adventure. 😊 #AvH
Thanks to Ute Krämer and @inesmulder.bsky.social for hosting the lab tours at the #AvHNet I thoroughly enjoyed it
Off to Bochum for the Alexander-von-Humboldt Netzwerktagung. Very excited to become a part of the network. #AvH
Looking forward to seeing Bahar tomorrow and listening to an exciting talk.
This Thursday, Dr. Bahar Patlar discusses how seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) shape reproduction and evolution across species. Don’t miss this fascinating talk! GEO building, H6 / 09.01.2025 / 12:15 pm.
