Not long now til #SICB 's annual meeting! sicb.org/events/upcom... If you're meeting us there, be sure to attend S06: #Behavioral and #environmental monitoring with #open-source and low-cost tools. Organized by: Yash Sondhi & Brett Seymoure & Thomas Franzem #biology #academia #science

Studying animal behavior in the field is often hindered by environmental variability and the high cost or inaccessibility of monitoring equipment. This symposium will highlight the development and application of low-cost, open-source sensing technologies—such as Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, and 3D-printable tools—for automated environmental data collection in both lab and field settings. By bringing together interdisciplinary researchers, we aim to explore how these tools can increase accessibility, enhance replicability, and support large-scale behavioral and ecological studies. Discussions will emphasize their role in monitoring environmental change and biodiversity, as well as their potential to bridge engineering-focused and field-based approaches within the SICB community.
