We’re back after a 3 week conference attendance break!

Cuttings (short and sweet):

  • Watch this blue-spotted stingray swim around an Oregon aquarium!
  • Follow Dr. Kyle Newton, shark sensory ecologist, on twitter!
  • Screams heard round the world: humans can easily recognize alarm calls of other animals. By Karen Hopkin, for Scientific American.
  • Seals return to the Thames estuary is going swimmingly. By Damian Carrington, for the Guardian.
  • AUTHOR’S NOTE: One link (to a twitter thread on scientist lab superstitions) has been removed due to some culturally insensitive comments in the thread.
