Funded PhD Available at the University of Exeter.

Loneliness is a global epidemic. We want to use field experiments in wild rabbits to understand why our social connections change with age.

Deadline: 11th Dec

Humans are not the only animals that change their social lives as they age; female red deer and house sparrows become less sociable as they get older. A new special issue of @RSocPublishing #PhilTransB looks at ageing and society across the natural world: https://t.co/rbdZREugTK

A 1,000,000th reminder the crucial importance of basic research. Ambros and Ruvkun were looking into understanding nematode genetics and development, not looking for a drug, and ended up opening an entire new area in biology

We describe how octopus-fish groups can work, can malfunction, and can lead to benefits! Give it a read and don't forget to see the videos for punching, displacements, and examples of solo vs collaborative hunting!! 🐙🐠🐟 Out in @NatureEcoEvo!!

The value of ‘wasting time’ on deep thinking is often overlooked in a scientific ecosystem increasingly tainted by Wall Street’s productivity mindset.
