Being interviewed about your work can be a stressful experience (may even have increased my biological age!)…very grateful to @Nature for covering this study in such a balanced way. https://t.co/1oKNNhRUPU.

We are cover Story!! Thank you, David Grimm for your visit and the detailed report on our work 🙏🏻
We are thrilled (and so are our animals 😜) 🤩

...but work in the lab brought this to life: a working Golgi-Stain in the pig cerebellum 🥳

@GoatsThatStare Oh noooo! Take care!
I am doing statistical tests on when it'll hit us, having three kids in four different daycare/school groups 🙈

In a new Science study, researchers discovered that the hormonal milieu of pregnancy remodels a distinct population of hypothalamic neurons in mice that mediates the onset of parental behavior before giving birth.

Teaching kids about animal behaviour is crucial to raising awareness on animal welfare issues.

For this reason, @APigsHeart & @goatsthatstare just published an overview on animal emotions that can be used as an educational resource in schools & beyond.

Looking forward reading the article 🙂

[FBN Dummerstorf @FBNDummerstorf]

Excited about this visit here: David Grimm from @ScienceMagazine came to learn about current topics in the field of behavioural physiology. For one and a half days, he discovered stables, laboratories and offices. We are looking forward to your article!
