note = "Funding Information: Mala Murthy is a Professor in the Princeton Neuroscience Institute at Princeton University. Her research group studies the many neural processes that underlie animal communication, including detection and recognition of multisensory cues, decision-making, and execution and patterning of motor actions, using fly social behaviors as a model. She is involved in an effort to generate a whole brain connectome of Drosophila. Her work has led to the discovery that sensory feedback cues and brain internal state dynamically modulate song patterning in flies, which has opened up the study of how the brain mediates the back and forth exchange of information between individuals, leveraging the tools of the fly model system. Her team has also developed new methods for quantifying animal behavior (SLEAP) that have been widely used in neuroscience research. Murthy received her B.S. in Biology from MIT, her PhD in Neuroscience from Stanford University, and did postdoctoral work in systems neuroscience with Gilles Laurent at Caltech. In 2010, she joined the faculty at Princeton University in the Departments of Molecular Biology and Neuroscience. She was promoted to Full Professor in 2019. Prof. Murthy has received a number of honors, including an NSF CAREER award, an NIH New Innovator award, an HHMI Faculty Scholar award, and a Simons Foundation Investigator award. She recently joined the Multi-Council Working Group that oversees the long-term scientific vision of the US BRAIN Initiative.",
