Successful outreach event at @McrMuseum’s Wild Researchers Night!! Engaging with the public through my work in validating AI tools for tracking canid gait (hence the dog suit!). We also tasked the public with identifying animals using our movement animations!

Had the pleasure of speaking at @mbconference in Aberdeen last week - Sharing our story of using markerless techniques for gait analysis in dogs! Funded by the wonderful @EETrustUK. Thanks to everyone kind enough to offer their thoughts and advice!

[Harry Gill @HarryDGill]

Had a fantastic time at my very first #SEBconference! Thanks to anyone that stopped for a chat during the poster session - hopefully there’s potential for collaboration with my work on using markerless approaches to track animal gait!

And well done @HarryDGill presenting pilot data from his @EETrustUK funded PhD applying markerless tracking to dog gait analysis #SEBconference @MMUEcolEnv

Another brilliant week of data collection. Thanks to @YorkshireWP for hosting me! The canids were a little more elusive this time around, but those maned wolves can’t hide forever! Thank goodness for Georgia the carnivore keeper, and her amazing training with the painted dogs!

Data collection season!!
I had the pleasure of visiting @WildwoodTrust with @RobynAnneGrant to start gathering footage of some zoo canids! A really successful first bout of data collection, in what promises to be an exciting summer for the project #Walkonthewildside

Exciting news! Our latest article has just been published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, "Innovation across 13 ungulate species: problem solvers are less integrated in the social group and less neophobic". Link at the end of the 🧵1/6

Academia is a varied job... but weirdly our (mine, @cbrassey and @runflyjump ) actual job this morning was taking @EmmaClear 's cockapoo for a walk and feeding it treats as we walked around in front of @HarryDGill 's camera for a bit. Pretty good morning!

[Robyn Grant @RobynAnneGrant]

Not only was there awesome science from our lovely speakers @RiccardoStorch1 @cbrassey @AdamvanC @EmmaClear @HarryDGill @usimanaviciute @supersealsense but @SeaQRhyl also supplied amazing food and live research with the seals too!

[Harry Gill @HarryDGill]

@RobynAnneGrant @UAFunMorph @FrontiersIn @cbrassey Ah great find Robyn! I’ve got something to read on the train now!

[Harry Gill @HarryDGill]

Such a pleasure to be the person trusted with this project - connecting multiple disciplines of research is such an exciting process!

[Manchester Metropolitan Uni @ManMetUni]

What can we learn from the way our dogs walk?🐾

A new project, funded by @EETrustUK, is aiming to improve animal care by spotting changes in walking patterns.

My scholar profile is now live on the Evolution Education Trust website - Hopefully useful for anyone wishing to learn a little more about my work. If you spot any potential for collaboration, do get in touch! #animalwelfare #biomechanics #canids

Very excited to be a part of tomorrow’s virtual macropod workshop!
Dr Jess Rendle and I will be presenting our work in Lumpy Jaw: focusing on biosecurity and how this influences the prevalence of Lumpy Jaw
