Major thanks to @melodyschreiber.com for interviewing me about what biology actually says about sex & gender
Unscientific attacks on trans rights are fueled by fascism, not science, and harm all of us - cis or trans

I've always wondered where I should bathe my coats!
A lovely depiction!
Fantastic example of cutting edge research probing basic questions of how the brain works. There is so much yet to learn as we gain the deep understanding of biological processes needed to keep informing medicine and technological innovation. news.westernu.ca/2025/10/sens...
Yes please to a Toronto event!
Whenever I am reminded of this I always think how we need more fundamental research on non-mammal brain structures to inform fields like neuromorphic computing and network efficiency.
The conference is next week!✨
Join us on 13–14 November for a rich two-day schedule of fascinating talks on animal behaviour 🦋🐟🐆

A petition to halt primate imports for biomedical research was launched in #Canada, based on a conflation of unproven allegations that could cost lives.🔗https://www.eara.eu/post/in-defence-of-life-saving-science-why-canada-s-primate-research-must-continue #NHP #research #SciencePolicy #monkey
Zara has been a friend since grad school. I can barely grasp the loss to science, her loved ones, and her communities. Her absence will be felt dearly and her memory a treasure.
Zara and I overlapped in our PhDs at Carnegie Mellon. Even so early in her career she was a vocal advocate for open science and social justice. The thought that I can never hear her thoughts on our life events again is inconceivable and devastating. Much love to all who have been touched by her.
Two #comment articles with opposite perspectives about the role of #animals in #biomedical #research have been featured in the scientific journal #Nature, fueling a polarised discourse that can confuse and misinform the public and decision-makers. #NAM #SciencePolicy

Fantastic work

Happy International Lesbian Day! ☀️☀️☀️
And let's not forget the role of dogs as a lifesaving model from Anna and the first bypass shunts (exhibits.library.jhu.edu/exhibits/sho...) to contemporary imaging studies, large animal models have saved countless children and adults.
Very exciting that EARA is gaining more Canadian members!

What articles or sites would you recommend for more information on fish sentience for those who can't attend?
Thank you #CALAS for a wonderful event in beautiful British Columbia! It was great to meet peers in lab animal science and medicine from across Canada and beyond. @eara.eu is a wonderful partner I hope to hear more from!
Favorite trend in refined experimental procedures right now is micropipette assisted voluntary consumption in rodents as an alternative to gavage. Validated for mice and rats! Lovely paper by Vanhecke et al! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Important guide as Western mustangs fall prey to Chase the goose again!
Please enjoy a beautiful little derp in these trying times.

So cool! Craziest predation I have witnessed myself was a bald eagle catching an anhinga from a lake. There's always a bigger fish/bird.
