Ever wonder what the flow INSIDE a fish school looks like? Subhra Koley is presenting our work on the hydrodynamics of crystal clear robot fish at APS Fluid Dynamics in DC! Sunday 5:00 pm in room 103A: J07 High Re Locomotion II American Physical Society Whitney Laboratory U.S. National Science Foundation


How would your animal answer these questions? Get inspired by the interview, written by the authors of this Journal of Experimental Biology article advocating for rethinking behavioral research design. 👉journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22… @Monika_K_Scholz Serena Ding @elegansdiversus Jimmy Liao Abhilasha Joshi, PhD



Can’t say enough about the excitement, fun and science during the Journal of Experimental Biology Symposium in Mürren, Switzerland. Connecting with old friends and new—the future of biomechanics, energetics and ecology is looking good! Whitney Laboratory Jimmy Liao

Congrats Jimmy Liao 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/The Associated Press



Don’t miss this classic moment when Jimmy Liao 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 😊

Farewell BBQ to iNavigate Ph.D. engineering student Dragos (Romania) and welcome to incoming computer science Ph.D. student Robert from Wales! Thanks for making fish biomechanics research an international endeavor 😎 Whitney Laboratory UF Department of Biology FLORIDA


Thrilled to have Masters student David Sparks publish his dissertation in JEB! He swam fish and postdoc Subra Koley performed PIV validation of Edwin Rajeev’s CFD model- team effort 🐟💪🐟 Whitney Laboratory Journal of Experimental Biology SICB DCB-DVM journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…
