Alongside @asab_org ASAB Education is leaving X. We do not believe that it is a safe place to communicate with our members, and we strongly disagree with the anti-science and anti-democratic stance of this platform. There are many ways to stay in touch with us:

Is there anything more graceful than the great-crested grebe's courtship dance? 😍💃

Happy #ValentinesDay Geladas are superb mountain climbing primates. The unusual reddish skin of their chests is a sexual cue, indicative of hormone levels. They can be sneaky, covering up their infidelities... Read more here: https://t.co/t0805KqHaV Photo by Jim on Unsplash

With such a sensitive nose, it's not too hard to flood it, especially during an intensely focused sniffing task. We often see #HeroRATs grooming to 'reset' their noses, sniff again, then indicate on a target. They groom plenty during out-of-office hours too! #APOPO #rats

all the points on this slide are true 😌 i’ve written research paper before that had to be in English. doing the research was way easier than turning it into proper English 🫠

even though i used English in class materials, writing in English was still challenging.

Camera trap photos ever give you goosebumps?

We invited students from @Royal_High_Sch & Edinburgh College to our plenary talk. Malin Ah-King, Associate Professor in Gender Studies - Örebro University, brilliantly answered the students questions after her talk and then the students went on to judge the ECR’s posters.

This is Chicken. She used to visit to the shelter where her human works. When the staff noticed her unique ability to help shy pups feel comfortable, Chicken quickly found herself with a full-time job. After all, every mother hen is, in fact, a Chicken. 13/10

It's Thursday, I can smell the weekend from here!

They might have poor vision, but they have an incredibly sensitive nose. #HeroRATs use their sense of smell to save lives—finding landmines, detecting TB, and more.
