Interested in a great workshop about the use of vocalizations in animals and humans? Come join us in Leiden, July 6th.

@S4SNeuro @annmclemens @lyoun03 That is sad news! My condolences.

@_bluejayray @BowenLabTweets @UsydPsych @BrainMind_Usyd Congrats!

Proud of this paper!
In collab with S. Pellis and C. Burke we show that rats display individual differences in play and homeostatically adjust play based on their own preference and their play-partner.

Exciting research on play!

[Jackson R. Ham @jacksonhammy]

This, an exciting finding, as it suggests that perhaps self-handicapping is a fundamental aspect of play, now being reported in all three kinds of play.

Belugas self-handicapped in four different ways, with one example illustrated below. (2/4)

@ginevradottavio @OGdukeneurosurg 10 for sure

@PhD_Genie Talking to collaboration partners about experiments! @jacksonhammy

[Marijke Achterberg @achte107]

@cristiandegrego @PhD_Genie Actually no

@jacksonhammy @PhD_Genie I like the “sometimes”!
