Science Associate for @guidedogs - dog health, welfare and behaviour. Any views I may rarely share are my own. Still happy to talk about gulls.

@SSBak_i @AutonomousAllie @GaslightGroupie @wil_da_beast630 Why?

[Madeleine Goumas @Gull_Mad]

@SwampB821 Mal argumento. Se crían ovejas para producir tanta lana que pueden morir. Una solución: no hacerlo.

[Madeleine Goumas @Gull_Mad]

@grok @nicazarle @Frasedebarney @SwampB821 Olvidaste que las matan

[Madeleine Goumas @Gull_Mad]

@grok @nicazarle @Frasedebarney @SwampB821 "Las domésticas suelen vivir más"? En serio?

[Madeleine Goumas @Gull_Mad]

@TerryOberdorfer @Gabriele_Corno Because it's a rubbish AI creation

[Madeleine Goumas @Gull_Mad]

@bobofango86 @iris_seraphina Apart from the mirror mismatch, it's weird that people think an opossum would play dead because it saw another opossum

[Madeleine Goumas @Gull_Mad]

@nicholaraihani Still very early days! I'm interested in the mismatch between what humans think dogs think and what dogs actually think (and how we can even know if/when there's a mismatch). People seem to have different definitions of both guilt and jealousy, which makes it more complicated...

@lizardschwartz This is why they changed them to be plastic! 😄

@DarrilynL0421 @LjerkaOstojic Hi Darrilyn - yes absolutely! Let me know if you have any more questions 🙂

@GuillMcIvor Thanks Guill! Hope you are well!
Did you mean Discovering Statistics?

[Madeleine Goumas @Gull_Mad]

Is there a good statistics book out there that is suitable for someone starting a PhD in biosciences but isn't dry/heavy/wordy or expecting an advanced level of Maths? I'm looking for something that's easy to dip into and won't be overwhelming for someone relatively new to stats.

[Madeleine Goumas @Gull_Mad]

@EmmaInzani Eeee my favourite photo of my favourite chicks 😍

[Emma Inzani @EmmaInzani]

Ever wondered what gulls really prefer to eat?
🐟or🥪
Out now: My 2nd #PhD paper, a study of Rescue* Herring gull chicks' food preferences, and whether they could be influenced by their early-life diet.
*Chicks reared in captivity as they couldn't be returned to their parents

[Madeleine Goumas @Gull_Mad]

@lizardschwartz Mine feels worse: I saw the posts when I got into bed and decided I couldn't be bothered to go out alone after midnight to look for something that I thought I probably wouldn't see. Kicking myself now 😅

[Madeleine Goumas @Gull_Mad]

I always like an opportunity to practise Spanish 😄

Thank you for the great summary

1/2 Ciudades y gaviotas de grandes cerebros

Las especies de gaviota con cerebros más grandes son aquellas que (a veces) anidan en acantilados y que se adentran a anidar en áreas urbanas

@DogUmwelt As a Brit, I had to do a double take at the word "nonce" and then look up what it means in America... 😅

[Madeleine Goumas @Gull_Mad]

I have a new paper out today from my time at @UniExeCEC, continuing the work of a master's student.

We asked why some gull species are using urban areas while others seem to avoid them. Could bigger-brained birds be more likely to use them?
