It had been a long time since I last talked about science with a general audience, and I can confirm it’s still one of the things I love the most. A special thanks to HADE Centro Cultural for the warm welcome, and Francisco Luna for the organisation #CafeConCiencia @evocroproject.bsky.social

Next Friday, Francesca Cassola (EvOCRO) will speak about animal personality during an evening of public science communication at HADE Cultural Center. 📅 Jan 30 | 🎟️ Free entry | 📡 Facebook Live Thanks to @HADECulturalCenter for hosting. #EvOCRO #AnimalBehaviour

Campeche!! Voy a dar mi primera charla en México y va ser a ustedes! Corta pero intensa 😊 Nos vemos este viernes! L@s espero! #HADECentroCultural #AnimalBehaviour #PersonalidadAnimal #MSCA

Sounds like a typical busy work schedu— TRAINING CROCODILES???

4h sleep, 2 virtual meetings early in the morning, 15k by bike to go to work (30 round), training crocodiles, sitting on wet soil while writing a career development plan and planning next week...and many emails to answer! @evocroproject.bsky.social #EvOCRO #STEM #WomenInSTEM #animalbehaviour #MSCA

Yesterday Crocodiles during the Sunset Such a peaceful moment, after a day of work @evocroproject.bsky.social #animalcognition

🐊 From desk to field: the first weeks of EvOCRO testing are shaping how crocodiles learn. Pilot experiments, protocol changes, individual differences — science in real life. 🔗 Read the full blog post: evocroproject.github.io/blog/posts/2... #EvOCRO #AnimalCognition #Fieldwork #SciencePop

DoS is free and available in English, Spanish and Italian in many many many platforms :)

🐊 Why were reptiles often excluded from cognitive research? Not for lack of abilities — but because of bias, logistics, and old assumptions. EvOCRO studies crocodiles to rethink how cognition evolves across species. www.instagram.com/p/DTlZB81CHLR/ #EvOCRO #AnimalCognition #Reptiles

Mi hanno intervistata sulla rivista di bordo di Aeroitalia. Quella che trovate nella tasca davanti al sedile, insieme alle istruzioni di sicurezza e ai pensieri che partono solo sopra i 10.000 metri. Se non sapevate che esistesse Aeroitalia, consideratelo un annuncio di sicurezza

Rainy day in Campeche, that means no Croc Work but yes desk work 😉 #EvOCRO @evocroproject.bsky.social

Isn't Gerardo the cutest little Croc you have seen? #EvOCRO

Argentinian affected by the Patagonia forest fires: "We're no longer shocked. We know it's intentional. There are powers involved. They have real estate and mining interests. They don't even try to hide it anymore because they have everything on their side."

There are 12,000+ reptile species worldwide. They’re the second most species-rich vertebrate group, yet among the least studied. Looking beyond classic models is key to understanding how cognition evolves. www.instagram.com/p/DTVMClADG2... #EvOCRO #Reptiles #AnimalCognition #HorizonEurope

I love music, mostly every genre. I am addicted to the 70s and 80s, from rock to disco, epic metal is also included, cartoon themes, etc...but this one, this song, is unique in every way. Goosebumps and dreams every time. An der schönen blauen Donau enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBPU...

2 deliverables done, one to go! Almost there! ...and I have to finish recording videos...

🐊 Behind sharp teeth, there’s more than instinct. Animal personality describes consistent behavioural differences between individuals. With EvOCRO, we study whether these differences affect how crocodiles learn and adapt. www.instagram.com/p/DTOG1hxFqGO/ #EvOCRO #BehindTheJaws #AnimalPersonality

Diablos...¿y ahora donde encuentro tamales vegetarianos en Campeche? 😂🙈

Animal cognition studies how animals acquire, process, and use information to adapt. And it is not exclusive to humans. Understanding animal minds helps us understand evolution itself. 🐊🧠 www.instagram.com/p/DTBO3muAVu... #EvOCRO #AnimalCognition

2026 hasn't even begun for me yet. I still have to see the New Year's Concert of the @Vienna_Phil... once it's over, then I'll be able to say "Prosit!" and begin this new year late and postponed, but here we are:

For the first time, I’m closing a happy year. 2025 was: • Cambridge, my postdoc and new academic home • Visiting Charles Darwin’s house • Starting my stay in Campeche, Mexico • My project and first crocodiles • Meeting Tilda Swinton (autograph included) • Hugging Las Mamás Presentan What a year!

As the year draws to a close, I’m signing off 2025 with a magical find! An ancient amber bear. Carved some 10,000 years ago, it washed up on a beach at Fanø, Denmark, from a submerged Mesolithic settlement in the North Sea. ✨ Happy New Year all! ✨ National Museum of Denmark 📷 by me #Archaeology

Goodnight to everyone who believes human rights aren't up for debate. ✊🏾 ✊🏽 ✊🏻 ✊🏿

Ending the year working and I am going to start 2026 handling 🐊🐊🐊, because non-human animals don't have holidays I am where I am supposed to be

My first time seeing crocodiles in the wild 🥰

Suitcases, sensors, crocodiles… and a few laughs along the way! Check out the EvOCRO team’s journey ➡️ www.instagram.com/p/DS4y_ZmiMQ...

Here's a shot I got in May of a Cliff Swallow colony on the central coast. There were so many nests I lost count and I can't wait to get back there in 2026! #Birds #Photography #Nature

I have to write the texts for the first video-reels of my project. Things I've done instead of writing: - cooking dinner - dancing around the house - hanging out the laundry - watching videos on YouTube - creating a to-do list for tomorrow *help*

Yesterday, it was time to cleaning Crocodiles' areas

One of my favourite projects to be involved with - love the combination of cool natural history and the ability to run field #experiments in natural #marine environments. Great work @sammatchette.bsky.social on leading the latest work. 🐟 #trumpetfish #colour #predation @royalsocietypublishing.org

not science-related, but I did a 24h trip to CDMX to see #LasMamásPresentan (3 Mexican drag queens that are really hilarious) and we were able to speak; they got emotional knowing I watch their videos from Europe and that I came to see them from that far They are adorable!
