New review article from the lab! In addition to discussing relatively easily studied hovering animals (hummingbirds, nectar bats), we call for further work studying energetics/fuel use in other nectar and fruit-feeders! With @giuliarossi.bsky.social @utscbiology.bsky.social @utsc.utoronto.ca 🦇🧪
“My visit to Craig Franklin’s lab at the University of Queensland, supported by a Travelling Fellowship from The Company of Biologists, has been pivotal in shaping my early research career. The experience reinforced my appreciation for the power of exchanging ideas across institutions and geographic boundaries. The friendships and connections I built during this time have led to ongoing collaborations and continue to influence my approach to research.” Giulia Rossi Postdoctoral Researcher

Congrats to Ranim Saleem from the Scott Lab for winning best physiology poster at the @csz-sczofficial.bsky.social meeting for her work on mitochondrial adaptations to high altitude.
A great read, especially as we approach the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
Representation matters.
At long last, I am delving into social media & this platform seems to underpin my principles & values. Bear with me as I navigate this landscape.
I am on here to celebrate the creativity & impact of experimental biology & the research that is being conducted by dedicated & passionate scientists.
Some deep-sea bacteria literally breathe metal, using iron and manganese like we use oxygen. If we ever harness their abilities, we might just revolutionize bioelectricity. www.sciencealert.com/these-bacter... #marinelife
A recent meta-analysis of “Draw-a-Scientist” studies found that children have increasingly drawn female scientists over time. However, drawings of female scientists decrease as children get older.

Congratulations!!
Out now in @nature.com! Our comprehensive meta-analysis of global terrestrial and marine genetic diversity demonstrates rapid loss of genetic diversity and identifies conservation interventions that could mitigate this process

Just learned that the creator of the song "Walk it out", DJ Unk, recently passed away at the young age of 43 (www.npr.org/2025/01/27/n...).
RIP, sir, and thank you for your music.
