Congrats to our phone photo contest winners, Eva (left photo) and @tizianasrdoc.bsky.social (right photo) 🏆 👏🏻

Our “Bird Research at Schönbrunn Zoo” day went super well! We had an official guided tour, talks by Barbara Steininger on bald Ibis and @guillmcivor.bsky.social on crows, “Bird Behaviour Bingo,” a picnic and a photo contest 😍🪶☀️

Please share! The Rijeka Cognitive Sciences Symposium 2026 is open for registrations and talk/poster submissions by Masters and PhD students! 13 and 14 July - This year's topic is Social Cognition The event is free!

Apply for a fully funded PhD in evolutionary biology at Ruđer Bošković Institute, Croatia. Focus on cavefish adaptation. Info: https://bilandzija.irb.hr/Projects-and-Funding. Deadline: April 10, 2026. #phd

🐦 Exciting news! Our new paper is out in PLOS Biology: “A large-scale study across the avian clade identifies ecological drivers of neophobia.” Led by the #ManyBirds Project - 129 researchers, 82 institutions, 24 countries 🌍 🔗 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... @themanybirds.bsky.social

How many years after undergrad stats did you discover that common statistical tests are linear models? lindeloev.github.io/tests-as-lin...

🚨 Calling all dog behavior & cognition researchers - ManyDogs Project is launching ManyDogs 2! 🔍🐕‍🦺We're studying overimitation: Do dogs copy irrelevant actions just b/c their favorite human does them? Email [email protected] to collaborate globally and contribute to reproducible science!

Children are incredible language learning machines. But how do they do it? Our latest paper, just published in TICS, synthesizes decades of evidence to propose four components that must be built into any theory of how children learn language. 1/ www.cell.com/trends/cogni... @mpi-nl.bsky.social

Who is a cognitive scientist? There's been fascinating discussion about cognition, but I'm as interested in who we think of as cognitive scientists. New essay includes a visual presentation of cog-sci's historical diversity--or lack thereof. buildcognitiveresonance.substack.com/p/who-is-a-c...

We had great fun and discussion presenting our newest research on infants' understanding of referential pointing with Tibor Tauzin and @tizianasrdoc.bsky.social at BCCCD25 🎉👶💬 #BCCCD #CogDevCeu

Thanks to everyone yesterday for the fantastic poster sessions! #ASABWinter2024

Afternoon plenary by @anticac.bsky.social on biases and poor practices in science. A shocking amount of research is wasted. Some fantastic recommendations to increase quality, openness and transparency. Don’t forget to check each other’s code!!! 💻👀💥 #ASABWinter2024

Happy to have had the honor of representing @manydogsproject.bsky.social at #ASABWinter2024

We are delighted to announce that ManyBirds Study 1 “Evolutionary drivers of neophobia across the avian clade” is now available in pre-print: doi.org/10.31219/osf... and been submitted for peer-review publication. 1/

I made a Starter Pack for Language Evolution. But I just added a small bunch of names that came to mind. (I don't know who's on Bluesky yet.) So please add a comment below if you're a language evolution person and I will add more names soon. go.bsky.app/87rRCf7

📢Starter pack for canine science: go.bsky.app/TPPUQyb Please share & all suggestions for more folks to include are extremely welcome and appreciated! 🐶🙌
