Had a super fun time presenting my PhD work at #FSBI2026 in my hometown Southampton🚢❤️ Thanks to all for the great chats and interesting talks, happy to see such a breadth of fishy science 🐟🐠🎣 silos = broken

Molly and her poster at FSBI titled “Laterality improves individual foraging performance in fish shoals”.

Molly presenting a speed talk at FSBI 2026. The slide reads “visual laterality” above a drawing of a fish with lateral eyes and bullet points for “cognitive” and “sensory”. The background is blue and represents the lack of bifocal vision in fish, where the view from each eye is diverse.

After catching up on some sleep it’s time to say: what an amazing week at ISBE🦎2026! Lots of cool science and cool people, and very grateful to give my first talk at an international conference. If you missed it and want to know more im always up for a chat :) 🫶🐟

Out now 🎉 The second paper from my Masters published in Scientific Reports! We explored how acoustic noise affects collective behaviour in guppies 🐟 With fab co-authors: Ella Waples, @andyradford.bsky.social, Steve Simpson & @ccioannou.bsky.social 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵1/6

Screenshot of the title and author list of a scientific paper published in Scientific Reports. The title reads: “Group personality, rather than acoustic noise, causes variation in group decision-making in guppy shoals.” Authors listed are Molly A. Clark, Ella Waples, Andrew N. Radford, Stephen D. Simpson, and Christos C. Ioannou.

I’m very happy to share my first paper, and the first from my Masters, is out in Royal Society #OpenScince 🤩 w/ coauthor and supervisor @ccioannou.bsky.social 🔗 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... 🧵1/12

Diagram illustrating the method from the paper “quantifying animal social behaviour using ecological field methods”. It includes three main steps: (a) determining trap locations for sampling sites and collecting count data from individuals, (b) measuring phenotypic data from individuals such as size, coloration, and parasite load, and (c) recording environmental parameters like turbidity, temperature, and light intensity. The diagram features a map with marked sampling sites, grouped data points represented by fish, and icons for environmental measurements.
