Male and female #tardigrades are essentially indistinguishable, so how do they tell the sexes apart? Well, it turns out that female tardigrades can smell both sexes, hanging out with both, but males ignore other males and are only attracted to the scents of females

@deevybee My favourites are „strategic relapse“ and „selection bushes“ 😂
I spend amazing two days at the #pristionchus conference in Tübingen. Psyched by a lot of good conversations, I can’t wait to continue with my research on the feeding decision in P. pacificus. To everyone looking for a great and welcoming scientific community to study #evodevoneuro, as Curtis Loer put it, or the #newnaturalhistory as Mary Jane West-Eberhard did, the Pristionchus crowd might just be the right fit!

Our train is an hour late now, but the connecting train is cancelled anyways 🤷🏻♂️ but the view is nice.
What are the most beautiful places along the Rhine that are worth being late for?

On my way to Tübingen to the #pristionchus meeting, along with my lab mates and my poster on the prediction of feeding behavior of this predatory #nematode.

And your great to the n granddaughter is pretty fine
It’s almost a week since my course at #neuromatch ended and it was 🔥 Learned so much about #compneuro and modelling and I had a lot of fun. I still wanted to say thanks to NMA, my amazing TAs and pod for making it such a great experience! 🧠🚀🧮
A new Largest Animal Ever just dropped. The colossus whale might have been 2x to 3x heavier than the current largest animal ever known, the blue whale https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bizarre-looking-colossus-whale-may-have-been-heaviest-animal-ever-sorry-blue-whales/
