Great paper on the degrees and the levels of innovativeness, contributing to the ongoing debate on how to measure and compare innovations & the tendency to innovate. (Note: to be distinguished from the propensity to invent = produce a novel behaviour, which we are studying in chacma baboons).

In April, our very own Mathilde Tahar discussed animal consciousness in Paris with Florian Moullard. And it is now a podcast! (Available in French though… for now?)

The next session of our seminar will take place next Thursday! We will be discussing the possibility of connecting (or not) the different concepts of biological agency. Mathilde Tahar will be leading the session! You're welcome to join us through Zoom! www.animalinventiveness.com/post/seminar...

Next Wednesday !!!

A new piece by @drmathildetahar.bsky.social just got out on @aeon.co!! It explores the link between inventiveness and play in nonhuman animals. It is written with a sincere desire to convey what science and philosophy can teach us about this fascinating topic. We hope you enjoy reading it!

@drmathildetahar.bsky.social will speak about animal’s cognition and imagination with Florian Moullard. 9th April in Paris ! ihpst.pantheonsorbonne.fr/evenements/s...

Next session of our online seminar on Agency between Biology and Philosophy is today (5pm UK time). We will talk about the link between organism and agency + biosemiotics !! Feel free to join us 😃 More info here: www.animalinventiveness.com/post/seminar...

Our seminar on agency between biology and philosophy is still on, and we have amazing discussions. It is on the second Thursday of each month, from 5pm to 6pm (UK time). Feel free to join :) More info here : www.animalinventiveness.com/post/seminar...

There are many links between play and love/tenderness. The way the two intertwine when it comes to the co-invention of shared behaviours and signals between members of different species is one subject we aim to explore…

New draft available on our website. Your feedback is most welcome — feel free to contact @drmathildetahar.bsky.social with any comments! www.animalinventiveness.com/preprints-pu...

Hey ! I have a new paper I'm willing to submit. I am still working on it. But I'd be happy to have some feedback before the final version ! I think it needs it… It's about biological agency! Please share your comments :) Here is the preprint: dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG....

Next session is this Thursday !!!
