PhD student at @UniExeCornwall researching mammal biodiversity in Borneo | Funded by @UniofExeter, @NSERC_CRSNG, @clemetzoo | 🇨🇦 | I want to pet all the dog.
For this experiment, a researcher talked to eight-week-old puppies that had previously had little experience with humans. Specifically, the experimenter would say: “Hi pup. Are you a good puppy? Yes, you are! What a good puppy!” https://t.co/sPA7izyMpA
My exact feelings on losing an hour to daylight savings.

Amazing trail-cam footage by Bobby Wummer.
Now that we spend hours (or days) videoconferencing, please consider turning off your camera during seminars, talks, meetings when you're not speaking or active. This reduces your carbon footprint by 96%. If you must, use standard definition instead of HD.

A bunch of us in Vietnam are applying #Tech4Wildlife to improve the management of the last #caovit gibbon popn on Earth. As far as we know, there are ~20 groups left, all in a single site. You won’t be surprised to learn they’re listed as Critically Endangered on @IUCNRedList 1/n
A newly published lab paper that I'm really proud of - for anyone who wants to better understand how to measure biodiversity in the field https://t.co/yJIEXVsBHU
It should come to no surprise that I believe we need all necessary native animals to have a healthy and thriving ecosystem. From the apex predators, to the ungulates, to the scavengers, to the birds of prey, down to the meadow vole, the honey bee, the carpenter ant and beyond.
