Currently hunting for a PostDoc! Studying the ways technology can help us to better understand animal behaviour. He/Him

Would be great to get a name before sending the PCBs off for production!

[Asher Behaviour Lab🏳️‍🌈 @asherblab]

Our lab is working on an open source sensor (accelerometer+). It’s being developed with dogs and cats in mind but we will likely use it for chickens too and could be used for other animals. We’d love your help to come up with a name for it. Other suggestions welcome

[Jack O'Sullivan @JackO_Sullivan]

@RPlaysStuff Do stream but please just play a game you enjoy! Surely if it's miserable it's better to just not engage and spend time elsewhere

[Jack O'Sullivan @JackO_Sullivan]

@J03YP We'll you've already peaked in 2022. Rest of the years a write off

[Daniel Mills @profDSM]

Help us predict what aspects of dog ownership impact owner well being. We need a large sample for our statistical models - everyone welcome -several languages available. Please help us with this important study (and thank you if you have helped already). https://t.co/F9ogKvQsjm

Voting is open! If you are intrigued how we at @asherblab are studying facial expressions in dogs please take a minute to watch our @VisualiseThesis competition entry. Your views = votes. Thank you! 🐕https://t.co/g5BoVIstlT

[Marie-Claire Pagano @mpaganox]

So happy to have been chosen to represent @UniofNewcastle for this year’s @VisualiseThesis competition. Here is a short summary of my PhD which I am grateful to study at @asherblab. Take a look at all the fascinating PhD research topics in the competition. https://t.co/ab8ayyOc06

@Brandonio_ @Omicron90 @TomColdwell @KineticGame And we wouldn't have him any other way...saves one of us having to sit around staring at the map

[Jack O'Sullivan @JackO_Sullivan]

@Omicron90 @monsterhunter @OkamiOfficial @ryndmrk @TomColdwell @Brandonio_ @VickBait I mean you're new to monhun you could just play through world and IB for a fix

[Jack O'Sullivan @JackO_Sullivan]

@Omicron90 @monsterhunter @OkamiOfficial @ryndmrk @TomColdwell I mean I'm pretty convinced we won't see any new monsters until G rank. The question is will it be an iceborne-style expansion or an 'ultimate' re-release

Interested in technology for livestock farming? Come work with us. MPhil opportunity looking at vocalisations in turkeys. #PLF https://t.co/Hr34TuErsp

Twitter help needed. Please send me pictures of your sleeping dogs preferably in weird positions🐕🤷‍♀️. I have wonderful undergrad looking at sleep in dogs and this will help us ask the right questions.

[Jack O'Sullivan @JackO_Sullivan]

@DoUBelieveInDog @YAWScience I'd suggest a scepticism of broad claims and behavioural categories (e.g. what constitutes sleep or play for the device) and of devices that are not forthcoming with published validation research. Things are improving but commercial pressure will incentivise overpromising.

[Jack O'Sullivan @JackO_Sullivan]

@DoUBelieveInDog @YAWScience We address this mostly through taking the raw values output with only our own post processing to make meaning but this doesn't immediately help owners interested in buying devices.

[Jack O'Sullivan @JackO_Sullivan]

Another great thread about some of the work done at the @asherblab.This time covering the great OA detection work being investigated by @LeanneBlake_

[Your Animal Welfare Science @YAWScience]

Old age, or osteoarthritis? Osteoarthritis (OA) affects around 80% of dogs over eight, but early indicators of this condition, including joint stiffness, are often undetected and even misinterpreted as old age, leaving many cases undiagnosed until routine vet appointments.

[Jack O'Sullivan @JackO_Sullivan]

A quick introduction to how we use wearables with animals in @asherblab as part of our @YAWScience takeover!

[Your Animal Welfare Science @YAWScience]

We use wearables, such as fitbits or smart watches, increasingly in our everyday lives to track our health and fitness - so why cant our animals?
Sometimes they already are! Just comparatively rarely in the domestic environment.
