She went back to Algoma for two more years to complete a thesis and other courses she needed to move on to graduate studies. After a lot of support and encouragement from her undergraduate mentors (including a certain podcast host), Lynne went on to complete a PhD in Jeff Galef’s social learning lab at McMaster University where she got rats drunk so that they could get other rats drunk. After a post-doctoral fellowship at McMaster and SUNY Binghamton, Lynne joined the Department of Psychology at MacEwan University in 2003. It had been her goal to have a career at a teaching-focused university like her alma mater, so the fit at MacEwan has been ideal. Lynne is known for engaging classes with lots of hands-on learning, and has earned a couple of awards for her efforts. Her annual field school in animal learning (affectionately known by students as “bear camp”) provides students with insights about training and husbandry for captive animals.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 14.7px; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-width: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 10.7px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Lynne’s research and scholarly work has also focused on students and their learning. She’s a co-author of a popular textbook for learning and behaviour, and her research projects are designed to train students in research rather than to build an enviable CV. In fact, her CV resembles a patchwork quilt with topics including human mate choice, personality, dog greeting behaviour in dog parks, and authentic assessment techniques for undergraduate students. Her most recent project involved a captive bear who needed to deal with his past.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 14.7px; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-width: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 10.7px;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Outside of work, Lynne’s got a lot of hobbies and interests. She fosters and trains dogs for a local animal rescue, travels whenever she and her partner Paul can manage it, and is usually planning at least one trip/tattoo/music festival/home renovation at all times. When she retires she would like to become a pro wrestling manager, preferably for a heel.</span></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 14.7px; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-width: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 10.7px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://archive.org/download/spit_32/spit_32.mp3">mp3 download</a></span></p></div><iframe src="https://archive.org/embed/spit_32" width="500" height="30" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" allowfullscreen></iframe>

She subsequently earned her MS (2010) and Ph.D. (2013) in Experimental Psychology, both completed in Thomas Zentall’s laboratory at the University of Kentucky. She was a Lecturer of Psychology at the University of Florida from 2013-2017, and at Georgia Southern University from 2017-2020. Currently, she is an Associate Professor in the department of psychology at Auburn University at Montgomery.&nbsp;</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.4px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Her research is in the Cognitive-Behavioral area and centers mainly on <a href="http://davebrodbeck.com/storage/spit/stanger%20and%20Zentall%202010.pdf">decision-making processes</a> and <a href="http://davebrodbeck.com/storage/spit/bodily%20and%20bodily%202024.pdf">suboptimal choice behavior across species</a>. Her work explores the various conditions under which certain choices occur as well as how aspects, such as personality traits and past reinforcement history, play a role in choice behavior. One of her favorite things about being a faculty member is having the opportunity to introduce students to research and to help them navigate their career path. In addition to mentoring undergraduate researchers in her laboratory, she teaches classes in behavior analysis, cognition, and psychological careers. In 2025, she won the Auburn University at Montgomery’s Distinguished Teaching Associate Professor Award. Jess was a program committee chair for the American Psychological Association Division 6 meeting in 2026 and is currently the President of the Comparative Cognition Society. Away from work, Jess is a mother of three who loves coffee, nature, and watching college basketball and football (War Eagle and Go Cats!).</span><span face="Aptos, sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.4px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><a href="http://archive.org/download/spit-31/Spit_31.mp3">mp3 download</a></p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="30" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/spit-31" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>

The main questions they ask revolves around why and how organisms make the decisions they do and how personality, experiences, and environment impact these decisions. This research is both multi-taxa and multi-methods, spanning empirical investigations of nest-building flexibility in zebra finches during their Undergraduate and Masters at Western University, group decision-making in zebrafish and guppies with manipulated personality compositions, and theoretical modelling of the impact of personality in fruit fly populations for their PhD at Wilfrid Laurier University.&nbsp;</span><p></p><p><span style="caret-color: rgb(41, 41, 41); color: #292929; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px;">Most recently, Tanya has had the opportunity to construct a theoretical framework of what studying plant information processing should look like as a postdoc at the University of Alberta, along with designing empirical experiments to test the framework. &nbsp;Tanya plans to continue this line of research in their relatively new position at CUE and is excited to see how the different branches of plant behaviour compare to what we know about animal behaviour.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="caret-color: rgb(41, 41, 41); color: #292929; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px;">We talked about a lot of stuff, we made fun of Noam a bit, ok, maybe that was just me, and we of course did a deep dive on Tanya's <a href="http://davebrodbeck.com/storage/spit/Is-cognition-at-the-root-of-plant-behavior_2026_Trends-in-Ecology---Evolutio.pdf">p</a><a href="http://davebrodbeck.com/storage/spit/Is-cognition-at-the-root-of-plant-behavior_2026_Trends-in-Ecology---Evolutio.pdf">lant cognition work</a>.</span></p><p><span style="color: #292929; font-size: medium;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(41, 41, 41); font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://archive.org/download/spit_29/spit_29.mp3">mp3 download</a></span></span></p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="30" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/spit_29" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>

This one should be fun. Partly because I'm talking to.a friend and colleague from Algoma University. Also because it will be only the second episode I've done face to face. <a href="https://twitter.com/theoven_foote?lang=en">Jenn Foote</a> came by my podcast studio (OK, look, I have two podcasting studios in my house, because I'm me, so to be clear, she came to Studio B). and we talked about her work, her origin story, and other stuff.<div><br /></div><div>Jenn Foote completed a BSc. Honours in Biology from St. Mary's University, where her thesis research investigated how neighbour-stranger discrimination in song sparrows was influenced by breeding stage of females. She then moved up the road and completed MSc. in Biology at Dalhousie University where she demonstrated that Eastern song sparrows in NS share songs like west coast birds and unlike other eastern song sparrows. Both her BSc. and MSc. work was supervised by Colleen Barber. Jenn completed a PhD at Queen's with Laurene Ratcliffe where she studied dawn chorus communication networks of black-capped chickadees and demonstrated that males interact vocally at dawn and those interactions sometimes included three or more males. She then did a short postdoc with Dan Mennill at University of Windsor before moving to Algoma University in 2010. She then moved to Algoma University where her lab,<a href="https://jennrfoote.wixsite.com/the-oven"> the OVEN</a> (Ornithology, Vocalization, and Ecology Network) has been <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/26468142.pdf?casa_token=wTMqIHThZ3UAAAAA:ag8I8io5JNKJ1f7JKfrKEynjdWLXZkTXmDGX2xmeKc0ThOzarUpLKdWxtDahD10WaKO5RtAFmQyJOMyqyGm-Gctxn5g6ICBq034561-YhALJetL0qg">studying</a> <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jav.01729?casa_token=hZZq8SD2JiUAAAAA%3AOeP86-ClkGgVT_730OKV-36CxhVj-6cF5E4SBZZ_CQ3fWnqV9FAkTEzD7l6e_jWDJ92Uwg2rHYRP">vocal</a> <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09524622.2020.1718552">behaviour</a> of northern Ontario <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/eth.13040?casa_token=-EyO0kIEZA0AAAAA%3A43dEVc5tZoAmgCz1y_H9M9FmK_NCGjzdDTqclwWGUCnHMzZ14PC1P8mJ70QzPUq62tEaCGzeQ0oi">songbirds</a>.

  8. Episode 25 (Season 2, Episode 6) - Fiona Cross

But, there is one person I've been hoping to talk to since way back in Season 1. It's FIONA CROSS!<br /><br />Fiona got her BSc (Hons) in Psychology in 2001 before she began working with spiders and then she got her MSc (with Distinction) in Zoology in 2003 and her PhD in Zoology in 2009, with all three degrees being at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. Dr. Cross first went to Kenya to work with spiders in 2006, and has been a Visiting Scientist at the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (in Kenya) since 2010. Her research interests include selective attention, working memory, expectancy violation, and problem solving by spiders. Fiona never used to think that spiders could be particularly interesting, but she has since learned that spiders can do many remarkable things that could keep a person awake at night.<br /><br />Dr. Cross has 46 publications, and her work has featured in many news sources including The New York Times, The Washington Post, National Geographic, BBC, The Guardian, The New Zealand Herald, and Radio New Zealand. Fiona is sorta famous really, to quote her 'I got a fright when I first discovered there is a Wikipedia page about me, and I had to sit down when I discovered that a video about me had been viewed 12,000 times in one day'. &nbsp;(BTW, that fame is well deserved, she rocks). &nbsp;As an aside, there used to e a wikipedia page about me, but it was deleted because I suck....<br /><br />She loves to communicate science, and has so far organized three of her own international speaking tours (one in the UK and two in North America). COVID permitting, she hopes to run a spider event for children at the Christchurch public library in October (the month of the year that arachnologists affectionately refer to as ‘Arachtober’). She's also keen on writing for all ages.<br /><br />You can learn more about her and <a href="http://davebrodbeck.com/storage/spit/CrossJackson.2014.WM.Portia.pdf">her</a> <a href="http://rsfs.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/royfocus/7/3/20160035.full.pdf">work</a> at her website (<a href="http://www.doctorspider.net/">www.doctorspider.net</a>).<div><br /></div><div><a href="http://archive.org/download/spit-25/Spit25.mp3">mp3 download</a></div><div><br /></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="30" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/spit-25" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>

This approach not only examines the relatively unexplored repertoire of animal behaviour that has been thought to distinguish humans from other animals, but it also develops relatively simple training techniques that may be useful in training developmentally delayed and learning disabled humans to use concepts and strategies.&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <span style="color: #303030; font-size: 17px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="color: #303030; font-size: 17px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tom has contributed a great deal to the field of comparative&nbsp;</span></span><span style="color: #303030; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">cognition, so much so that the Comparative Cognitiion Society had him give the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjkCfpGNeqc&amp;index=10&amp;list=PL875806C90844C838/" target="_blank">master lecture</a> at CO3 in 2014.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: #303030; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/Spit15" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe> <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Thanks to Red Arms for letting me mash up their music in the closing theme, buy their music&nbsp;</span><a href="https://redarms.bandcamp.com/album/welcome-to-the-new-cold-war" style="color: #4d469c; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">now</a><br style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><a href="https://archive.org/download/Spit15/Spit15.mp3" target="_blank">mp3 download</a>

Among other things it mentions that he started out as a physics major, that he spent a year with a major of 'undecided' (I love that) and that he has been interested in the big problems and little problems in animal learning and memory for 40 odd years.<br /> <br /> I first met Ed at a conference at Dalhousie University in 1989. &nbsp;I was a lowly MA student in Sara Shettleworth's lab. &nbsp;Sara sent me to this thing and it literally changed my life. &nbsp;I got to meet people like Ed and Al Kamil and I realized that there was just so much cool stuff out there and that the range of problems we can look at is mind boggling.<br /> <br /> We talked about how Ed got into the field, his theoretical stance and how it relates to violins (really) and of course his recent paper about <a href="http://davebrodbeck.com/storage/spit/Wasserman01.pdf" target="_blank">cancer detecting pigeons</a>.<br /> <br /> Ed and his colleagues and students have been working on big questions like discrimination and categorization for a long time. &nbsp;In 2015 the Comparative Cognition Society recognized Ed's work by having him give the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Zzyo7moJaw&amp;list=PL875806C90844C838&amp;index=2/" target="_blank">master lecture</a> at CO3.<br /> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="30" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/spit14" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe><br /> <br /> Thanks to Red Arms for letting me mash up their music in the closing theme, buy their music <a href="https://redarms.bandcamp.com/album/welcome-to-the-new-cold-war" target="_blank">now</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://archive.org/download/spit14/spit14.mp3" target="_blank">mp3 download&nbsp;</a>
