In the final stretch of grant writing, ruthlessly cutting words to squeeze into the word count limit. Feeling euphoric, unstoppable, and dangerously close to the word count 😵‍💫 #AcademicChatter #grantwriting

@wild_biologist @wild_biologist great info, thanks for sharing the details.

Looking for recommendations on video recording setups to monitor movement & mating behaviour in group-housed poultry. Need multi-cam, 1-week continuous filming & multi-angle review. Suggestions? #AnimalBehavior #BehavioralEcology #Ethology #VideoAnalysis #PoultryResearch

[Cammy Beyts @cbeyts]

@wild_biologist @wild_biologist thanks for showing your setup. Thinking along similar CCTV lines. Did you use specialist software so you could view multiple camera views simultaneously?

First time seeing the #Auroraborealis last night and it was in my back garden in #Edinburgh!

This was my experience too, when moving to a large industry player after a career in academia. Obviously there is a strong interest in the subject of studies funded - but the work itself tends to be of high quality & and level of scrutiny lacking in most purely academic studies.

Excellent Tinbergen lecture by Giorgio Vallortigara (@gVallortigara), A sense for animacy: imprinting, predispositions and the building of a social brain.” We were as hypnotized by this wonderful talk as chickens! 🐓 🐣 🧠 #ASABwinter2023

[Cammy Beyts @cbeyts]

When starting my first postdoc, the supervisor applied for a 3-month grant extension to allow me to start after handing in my PhD. I want to get a feel if this is unusual or not.

[Cammy Beyts @cbeyts]

UKRI grant holders, have you ever applied for a grant extension to allow a new #postdoc to start a post at a later date than advertised? #AcademicTwitter @UKRI_News
