This is really cool!
A fossilised larynx has been found for an ankylosaur (Pinacosaurus) which shows that it was very complex, suggesting that it could have produced complex vocalisations! This is incredibly interesting!

Just a picture of #Marley, a Border Collie I meet now and then.

He's as fanatic as they come.

I'm an astronomer currently fighting for regulation and better engineering of satellites (particularly Starlink) so that the night sky isn't ruined for everyone: https://theconversation.com/soon-1-out-of-every-15-points-of-light-in-the-sky-will-be-a-satellite-170427

I also have super cute baby goats!

🎆 Happy new year everyone! We’re back with a post by writer Joe Stucynski who writes about a new piece of technology, called Neuropixels, that is shaping what kinds of experiments neuroscientists can do.

💧 Joe talks about why neuroscientists need to engineer new tools if they want to understand the brain, why Neuropixels are so exciting, and gives one example of how Neuropixels have already taught us more about how the brain coordinates the response to thirst.

❓ What other things might you want to learn from experiments with Neuropixels?

After over a year of analyzing data from this test battery, I finally took my (almost) own dog to be tested. 😄 This is the cylinder test, which is thought to measure a type of inhibitory control. Aida seemed to be pretty good at it!

She was also absolutely amazing at memory and social learning, but human gestures, logical reasoning, and the V-detour proved difficult for her.

Is she "intelligent"? She is very good at some things, not so good at others, just like most dogs! :)
