Vocal repertoire expansion in singing mice by co-opting a conserved midbrain circuit node
Zheng and Harpole et al. show that singing mice produce two major vocal modes: ancestral
USVs and novel songs that follow a linearly decelerating rhythm. Although acoustically
distinct, songs and USVs...

When @mbd1mbd1.bsky.social and I headed to this bridge on the Duke campus (ca. ‘97), armed with the black and silver spray paint cans left over from building our “exploding” Death Star model rocket, I was -convinced- that @tmbg.bsky.social would see it and think it was so cool 😂
