In this TED talk I shared what fish have taught me- to be a better father, the power of curiosity-driven science, and the value of studying animals in their natural context. Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=30__n_… #TEDxUF #Science #MarineBiology #Fatherhood #Biomechanics

Congrats @LabLiao for earning the #IgNobel prize in physics by demonstrating/explaining the swimming abilities of dead trout! “I discovered that a live fish moved more than a dead fish but not by much,” Liao said, holding up a fake fish at the award ceremony. 📸Steven Senne/@AP

Don’t miss this classic moment when @LabLiao accepts his #IgNobel prize for showing that water can swim dead fish, kisses a trout and thanks the Ig committee for rewarding the ‘fun’ in ‘fun’damental science! Keep the alliteration flowing Jimmy 😊

Perk of winning an Ig Nobel— hanging out with famed psychologist B.F. Skinner’s daughter and talking about collaborating on click- training fish 🐟😊🙏

How would your animal answer these questions? Get inspired by the interview, written by the authors of this @J_Exp_Biol article advocating for rethinking behavioral research design. 👉journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22… @Monika_K_Scholz @SSerenaDing @elegansdiversus @LabLiao @RhythmicSpikes
