@Welshsquirrels Thanks very much! Looking forward to it.

@cspotweet Great, so I can’t afford to live here and now I can’t afford to be sick here. Glad that I work so hard for rich people to get what they want.

@JanisIrwin @TheBreakdownAB Not sure how my research on animal communication promotes particular types of liberal political thinking. There are no liberal or conservative views that affect how I do or communicate my research. This is incredibly invasive and frustrating.

Successful talk exploring and explaining our work with Eurasian red squirrels. Grateful for the opportunity at CO3 in Albuquerque. @ComparativeCog @MacEwanU @MacEwanResearch

Unraveling the complexity of #AnimalCommunication with @ShannonDigweed! It was found Eurasian red squirrels utilize visual & auditory signals, shedding light on multimodal communication in social interactions & predator encounters. 🐿️🌲 #MultimodalCommunication #CO3_2024

@jencong Amazing work! So glad I was able to be a small part of it!

[Dr. Shannon Digweed @ShannonDigweed]

@laurenguillette I’m with you!

With less than 2 weeks until #CO3_2024 officially kicks off, we're looking forward to welcoming you all to New Mexico!
Get ready for our exciting line-up of speakers on all things comparative cognition across a diverse range of species. Program: https://t.co/z8fozemojK

Dear haters,

A common smear campaign tactic is to suggest peer-reviewed grant funding from independent public sources (CIHR, NIH, etc) makes us "shills", "gov puppets," and "propagandists."

Researchers need funding. Grant system FAR from perfect, but where do YOU think we should get resources for our work? What would be a better system?

BTW, I have never (in 30 yrs +) accepted industry funding for our research and, in Canada, researchers do not personally get a dime. The funds support students, research costs, etc.

Please recognize that the goal of these smear campaigns is to create distrust to make room for the spread and embrace of misinformation.

🙏

@laurenguillette So excited to be going this year!
