One dream for a scientist is to discover something that changes the textbooks. Big congratulations to @SamadiHGD - her work on insect play has found its way into this new biology book! @QM_SBBS @QMUL

Bumblebees play? Yes, they do, and @QM_SBBS's @SamadiHGD, @LChittka just won Pineapple Science Award for proving it! This award recognises imaginative research that aims to arouse public enthusiasm for science. qmul.ac.uk/media/news/2023/s…

Exciting day for me - @LChittka and I have been awarded a grant of around $1m by @open_phil to look for markers of sentience in insects, and we are recruiting *TWO* postdocs. The ads are here, and please DM or email if you have questions: qmul.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies/it…

Thanks Christie Wilcox for the nice write-up, and thank you @SamadiHGD @gburghar & Sergio Pellis: science.org/content/article/…

Fruit flies may enjoy taking carousels for a spin

Scientists observed what may be the first documented example of locomotor play in an invertebrate

Ever wondered if flies enjoy a carousel ride as much as we do? Wonder no more, it seems they do – flies play! Out now: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/7)

Have you got yours yet? It might change your mind about the care you give your #bees. Read about the investigations into bees' pain, pleasure and brainpower in our article about @LarsChittka's bee lab.

Here is @SamadiHGD, Samadi is interested in🐝cognition. She uses behavioural experiments to study play behaviour in bumblebees to find out how far a tiny brain can go. Samadi advocates for diversity & inclusion in academia. #WomenAndGirlsInScience #ASAB_EDIA #SciComm #IWD23
