We often think when we feed animals we're doing an unqualified good. But are we? Feeding squirrels peanuts, it turns out, changes their very SKULLS, giving them weaker bite force. www.sciencenews.org/article/hand...

Made #vegan bagels on a gloomy Wisconsin Sunday. This is the first time I’ve made bagels and I have to say, they turned out pretty good! 🥯

📢 Abstract submissions for talks and posters at the UFAW International Animal Welfare Conference close on 10 February. 🔍 We’re particularly interested in abstracts featuring novel and innovative approaches to #AnimalWelfare science. 🔗 Don't miss out! Submit your abstract here: ufaw.org.uk/conf25

"There are bodies that America believes should not be unhindered....It’s a freedom our neighbors begrudge us, peering out the windows, posting on social media when they see us." This post is about running, but it's about so much more. lyz.substack.com/p/i-have-a-r...

Please share – The Jensen and Pfeifer Labs at Arizona State University are searching for a joint postdoctoral researcher to study the evolutionary genomics of non-human primates, supported by NIH MIRA and NSF CAREER awards. More details on our lab webpage: spfeiferlab.org/positions/

Most zoo animals live long lives due to individualized care. However part of this care is controlling breeding. Is this sustainable? Should animals breed naturally in zoos? What happens to surplus animals? See below on how breed-and-feed programs in zoos may improve animal welfare & conservation 🧪

🚨In Nature🚨 Meta is dropping fact-checking to avoid anti-conservative bias- but is there actually evidence of bias? We this test empirically & find that conservatives * ARE suspended more * BUT share more misinfo So suspension isn't necessarily evidence of bias www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So many good points in here. When women begin to enter fields, first people cheer the pioneers. Then women do it more...and men get nervous. And then men run. And then they declare they NEVER wanted to do it anyway. Education is for GIRLS. celestemdavis.substack.com/p/why-boys-d...

Yep, #VaccinesWork Peter Hotez: "Covid mortality rates. No surprises: Well-vaccinated Northern European nations, Canada, Northern U.S. had lowest mortality; less vaccinated Southern U.S. fared worse; poorly vaccinated regions Africa, Russia the worst." See www.healthdata.org/research-ana...

We’ve listed a few starter packs that we thought might be interesting to our members/researchers in animal behaviour. Feel free to add on to the thread if you have more suggestions! 🦍🦒🐐🐕🐑🐋🐍🦗 ⬇️

We have a very exciting line up of plenary speakers for ISAE 2025, so make sure to submit your abstracts for the congress before 15 February 2025(isae2025.exordo.com/login)! The info on the plenary speakers can be found here: isae2025utrecht.nl/plenary-spea...

Trying to gather a long list of ideas for a masters student in animal welfare. Who out there with a masters degree is in an animal welfare-related role that is financially feasible for the long term? Thanks in advance for sharing here or by DM. #hivemind #animalwelfare

We could be losing a lot of scientific evidence due to it being published in non-English languages. Also likely to be reflected for species with no English language evidence. An incredibly important topic from Tatsuya Amano. #ASABWinter2024

Final seminar presentation ☑️ Next stop - defense!

Sums up the last semester of my PhD 🫣

I have a really exciting PhD opportunity on a highly novel topic: flow state in animals! This is open to students worldwide, drawing on the University of Bristol's strengths in animal cognition, animal welfare and human game design www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

bluesky has such first week of school energy rn with the big migration

It is our pleasure to announce that abstract submission for the 58th International Congress of the ISAE on applied animal behaviour and welfare is now open! Submission deadline is 15 February 2025! Instructions and topics can be found here: isae2025.exordo.com/login

Undergraduate interns make the world go round. Without them, much of my research would not be possible. On top of that, one of my amazing interns surprised me with this adorably crocheted sheep as a thank you for helping with her vet school apps 🐑 🧶 I had to stop myself from crying at its cuteness

🚨 Deadline extended 9th December! 🚨 Enter ASAB's science communication competition. Submit your 1-2min video showcasing your cool animal behaviour research related to the meeting theme: "Addressing biases in the field of animal behaviour." Use this form tinyurl.com/ASABwinter20... to participate!

Hi 👋🏼 I’m Jocelyn, a PhD candidate studying #FarmAnimalWelfare. Specifically, I’m using tech to address how tail docking sheep impacts their social relationships 🐑 I also have studied #ZooAnimalWelfare including🦒, 🐒 , & 🦍! I am a couple months from my defense & running & knitting keeps me sane 🧶 🏃🏼‍♀️

Seeing quite a lot of posts about PhDs and postdocs. Please circulate around #EcoEvocareer! I run the Ecology and Evolution ECR feed to consolidate these ads and career chats bsky.app/profile/did:...

Hoping to find the farm #AnimalWelfare people on Bluesky! I wanted to create a spinoff of the animal welfare starter pack that specifically focuses on those studying farm animal welfare 🐥🐐🐖🐄🐑🐓 Comment below to be added!

I have watched this video so many times 😂 These plots show the trajectories of twin ewes (seen in brown in each plot) prior to and after lambing on different days. I love watching the reaction of the other ewes in the pen (in blue) & the similarities in lambing location between the twins!

Resharing for new users to find collaborations or just people posting cool #animal #research! I think I've got a decent mix of taxonomic groups of interest, so hopefully this will be useful 🐟🦍🐠🦎🦗🦈🐧🦂🐬🕷️🐌🐢🐙🦟🐳🦁🦋🐊🐜🦆🐘🦃🦘🐛 DM to be added 😊 go.bsky.app/9CV3PAd #Behavior

Still finding it hard to reconnect with everyone from Twitter (X) so here’s an attempt at finding all animal behaviourists, ethologists, behavioural ecologists etc, working with animal behaviour. Just pop a comment and I’ll add you to the list - let’s reconnect 😃 #appliedethology go.bsky.app/8oJ3A8E

Thank you so much to whoever put this very comprehensive list of #science Bsky starter packs together. This is just amazing: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Excited to share I will be joining @UniNeuchatel as an assistant professor early 2025. OFFER: 2 #PhDposition in the new lab. #1 is on zoo animals🐺🐒🦧 and saliva hormones, and #2 is on 🐠 cognition and brains 🧠 Deadline 20 Nov 2024 shorturl.at/NYvVd Spread the word 🙏🏽🧪

I'll use my first post on Bluesky to plug my most recent publication on validating a UWB RTLS to track sheep 🐑 We found static & dynamic errors < 1 m but error was influenced by distance to the master anchor & height. We stress the importance of validating tech prior to research applications!

Reminder that the deadline for applying to do your PhD with me (or any of the other fabulous faculty!) at the CUNY Grad Center is coming up on Dec 1! If you haven’t already, please contact me or the CCP training area for more info ☺️ www.gc.cuny.edu/psychology/t...

I love the concept of Bluesky starter packs, and since I didn’t see one for those of us who study #animal #welfare, decided to make my own! My own network is limited, so PLEASE share and let me know who to add! I’m so excited to connect with all of you! 🐒🐑🐇🐕🐷🐠 go.bsky.app/SctSt3E
