I must admit that this annotated Nature abstract remains a useful recipe for constructing a summary paragraph. I show it to my students every time we get started.

☑️All-in-One check of assumptions of linear regression!
{gg_diagnose} function does it all! 📊💻

I recommend everyone getting an assistant like Angus - although there’s a clear lack of contribution to reading, he definitely makes up for it in moral support and cuddles!

[Mike Webster @mikemwebster]

Applications open for a PhD position with @ManonSchweinfu1 and I to study cooperative predator inspection. https://t.co/mbdRpLlTMi

…And even more thankful to those who helped me along the way, including @nonay6, @DrAlexWilson & @N_von_E

A little bit late, but… 3 years of hard work paid off. Such a lovely graduation ceremony, and even more humbled to be presented with an award from @UFAW_1926! Reflecting on the last 3 years @PlymUni with @PlymAnimBehav - I’m so thankful I chose this university…

I absolutely LOVED listening to this episode. It was so great to hear @EleanorCaves discuss cleaner shrimps, a topic I have been closely following for the past 18 months for my undergraduate thesis.

[The Animal Behavior Podcast @AnimalBehavPod]

Release day! In our 3rd episode, Eleanor Caves (@EleanorCaves) discusses sensory ecology, the concept of the umwelt, and her work studying cleaner shrimp.
Other topics include work-life balance and imposter syndrome.

Happy to be finishing my undergrad with a 1st in my pocket and even more excited to progress onto a MSc and hopefully PhD

[Tom Howard @biotomhow]

Sounds amazing! Just wish it was a year later 😁

@UnderwoodDante @Thals_Pelegrin I love the poster design!

🚨New paper! 🚨

Very glad that I could be of part of this work, published now in Animal Behaviour. All about third-party assessment in (pre-)rutting fallow deer.

I’m so happy to finally present my systematic review on the success and failure of conservation translocations (moving animals for conservation purposes) https://t.co/lal2hgIGvr Those of you who attended @EcolSocAus 2017 or @SpeciesOnTheMov 2018 may have seen me present it 1/n

[Dwarf Mongoose @Dwarf_Mongoose]

🌟Congratulations🌟 @Julie_M_Kern on her new paper: Strongly bonded individuals prefer to forage together in cooperatively breeding dwarf mongoose groups. It's endured a VERY long process 🙄, so particularly delighted to see this one out!
