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...

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...

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

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

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!

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!
