Doing a short workshop about simulation-based inference on Thursday for @eslr.bsky.social! Come hang out :)

Looking for help w/something! Instagram locked my account after a "hack" (me on a new device) and won't return it. That account has all of my art and music scene connections, and is critical for the fundraising of my new nonprofit. Does anyone have connections at Instagram/Meta who could help?

Tonight in Boston! Moderating a panel of folks on the cutting edge of animal communication research for swissnex.org/boston/event...

Feeling very honored. CES has been my intellectual home since the first conference in 2016, and has played such a huge role in my career/life. I can’t wait for Rabat! :)

New paper out today! When baby zebra finches are tutored with manipulated songs with shuffled syllables, they transform them to be consistent with linguistic laws 🐥 Reanalysis of data from James and Sakata (2017) link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Zebra finches transform manipulated songs with shuffled syllables to exhibit linguistic laws - Animal CognitionAnimal Cognition - Linguistic laws are increasingly used as markers of efficiency in non-human communication, but it remains unclear how rapidly these patterns can emerge.

Proc B with @sampassmore.bsky.social! We used simulations to explore the innovation strategies of speed climbers 🧗‍♀️ Innovation is higher among slower athletes and lower when the population size is larger, and the overall balance of innovation and copying appears to be suboptimal 🔗 bit.ly/499QjZM

Simulation-based inference with deep learning suggests speed climbers combine innovation and copying to improve performanceAbstract. In the Olympic sport of speed climbing, athletes compete to reach the top of a 15 m wall as quickly as possible. Since the standardization of thebit.ly

Happy new year! I wanted to share my new Python package called chatter that streamlines the process of applying AI/ML models to animal communication 🦜🦇🐋🐵👨‍🌾 masonyoungblood.github.io/chatter/

Y'all these titles are getting out of control 😅

Tomorrow!

Keep yours eyes out for some incredible work from @sobchuk.bsky.social in the coming years 🥳
