I popped over to Bluesky and found a load of animal welfare people I haven’t heard from on here for a while. I think I might stay there - it seems nicer 😁

A university can signal either: ‘We take victims of bullying & harassment seriously’

Or: ‘we protect the accused until proven guilty, beyond the tiniest scintilla of doubt’

All universities choose the latter

So real & harmful harassment is ubiquitous in academia

So, just as people are being convinced to try electric cars, road tax is going from £0 to £190 per year. Nice move 👍🏻

I’m adding this extraordinary work by ⁦@edyong209⁩ to the list of science books I’ve read for fun. Understanding how animals perceive their world is vital to meaningfully improving their welfare

[Richard Mott @RO_Mott]

https://t.co/jEs9dd4OfH I've just written a blog post for @AewgTeam about how animals hear the world differently from us, and how important this is when we are wanting to enrich an environment.
