Animal research is a controversial topic.

One end of the spectrum is exploitative research, while far on the other end is noninvasive, sanctuary-based research.

First in-person scientific talk ✅🤗

[Jocelyn Woods @AnimalWelfarist]

@PrasadShreck presented voluntary participation in a cognitive bias task as a feasible way to test personality in chickens from @FarmSanctuary. Really interesting to see #AnimalWelfare research from a sanctuary setting & I look forward to future work! 🐔 🐓#ABS2022

[Sasha Prasad-Shreckengast @PrasadShreck]

Murielle the chicken cordially invites you to attend my #ABS2022 talk tomorrow (Fri) @ 2:45 in Chirripo! Come see adorable chickens solving cognitive tasks and having fun (?) while doing it. 🐔🇨🇷

[Jocelyn Woods @AnimalWelfarist]

Can brainless animals such as brittle stars learn to associate between two cues using classical conditioning? @indy_sea found that they in fact can! A very cool cognitive experiment with an understudied species and some awesome video content 🍤 #ABS2022

[Jocelyn Woods @AnimalWelfarist]

Megan Lambert’s talk at @AnimBehSociety presented the potential research opportunities such as species diverse, collaborative multi-institutional, & expansive studies on birds via @TheManyBirds project 🦅 🐦 🦢 Many Birds is open to those with or without access to birds! #ABS2022

[Sasha Prasad-Shreckengast @PrasadShreck]

@AnimalWelfarist @CowboyCatRanch I’ll DM you both. Let’s make it happen 🤗

[Sasha Prasad-Shreckengast @PrasadShreck]

So excited to be back in person at #ABS2022 🇨🇷 Anyone want to have coffee together?

[Sasha Prasad-Shreckengast @PrasadShreck]

Lauri gave a fantastic presentation at #ASABethics today. 🐓 Understanding animals as agents ➡️ good and ethical science. Exciting things are happening at @FarmSanctuary!
