Huge thanks to my supervisors and co-authors Jackie Chappell & Susannah Thorpe, my examiners @DrMaryBlanchard & @DrFayClark, @CENTA_NERC, @UoBbiosciences, and my incredible research group, who all helped to bring this to life 🙌

This fully #openaccess review lays the foundation for a new field of research, which could have important welfare implications for great apes in long-term captivity, as well as wild-born great apes who may one day be released back into the forest ❤️

Two fab Animal Welfare PhD opportunities at the University of Bristol!

This one feels like a long time coming, but I’m very happy to share my latest paper on the 'Harms and Crimes against Marine Wildlife' in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Criminology and Criminal Justice

Super happy that my incredible PhD supervisor Jackie Chappell has been recognised for her outstanding supervision, she could not be more deserving of this award 💪#UoBPGRFest

@SaifulChemistry @iom3 Not bad thanks Saiful, submitting on Friday so just final touches!

Just had one of the best wildlife encounters of the year so far. A mama pangolin and her baby, just 10 mins after coming across a black Malayan krait. #Bali

@SaifulChemistry Very regal!

Borrowed a write-up buddy to keep me on track... everything's more manageable with a fuzzball on your lap #phdlife
