Last day at @nhmwien.bsky.social today, looking at all their big cats. Massive thanks to Frank & Alex in the mammal collection for hosting me! Glad I also got to explore beautiful Vienna while I was here 😊

For my current project, I’ve been rummaging (gently) around the collections of large cats at the @mfnberlin.bsky.social. There’s some really exciting stuff there, from ancient labels to named zoo cats and interesting pathologies. Big thanks to the people here for the opportunity & their support! 🐯🦁🐆

It’s a disgrace is what it is. And so very senseless. People who make (big) decisions should at the very least attempt to understand what they are making decisions about and the impact those decisions will have on people other than themselves.

Excited to share that I’ve started as Associate Professor at the Technical University of Denmark! 🧑‍🎓 I also received an a NNF Emerging Investigator grant to use genomics + machine learning to study extinction. 👉 PhD & Postdoc positions coming soon — follow for updates! Reposts appreciated 🙏

I’m back! 🥳 Happy to report that I have returned to Sheffield to explore the history of zoos among my Sheffield zooarch family. I will post updates here as regularly as I can manage, so watch this space if you’re curious what I’ll get up to with this project. 😎 @zooarchlabsheff.bsky.social

So happy it’s out!! Well done to everyone involved! 🥳🥳🐴 Thanks @sidestone.bsky.social for having and supporting us!

Very proud and excited to share our upcoming book, due in May! 🥳 Lots of horse-y goodness spanning disciplines, periods and continents. Co-edited with my wonderful colleagues Kate Kanne @ansoc-erc.bsky.social and Camille Vo Van Qui.

Can I interest anyone in a last-minute submission for our session at the #EAA2025?
