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 😊

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/… @Monika_K_Scholz @SSerenaDing @elegansdiversus @LabLiao @RhythmicSpikes

@Whitney_Lab Folx, including our little people took a boat out and though a small crew collected over 300lbs of trash. Very thankful for the help to allow #BIMSSweepsTheBeach @BlackinMarSci for #BIMSWeek!
