Always great to see the #STRANGE framework in the spotlight! Make sure your individuals are representative of the population you’re studying @mikemwebster.bsky.social

Thanks to everyone yesterday for the fantastic poster sessions! #ASABWinter2024

A lecture theatre with a main screen and two smaller screens either side. On the main screen it says: "Twitter is dead... so come join us where the skies are blue! Find us at @asab.org Just like Twitter but with TROLL control. Make an account just like twitter. Do make sure you have a photo & bio! You can also make your website your handle like we did There is no algorithm rewarding outrage bait Follow many ASAB members, get many animal behaviour posts! "Pile-ons" are difficult - if you don't like someone's quote of your post, you can remove their quote. If someone is blocked, they are BLOCKED. Let someone else do the blocking for you. subscribe to blocklists (e.8., lists that block MAGA, crypto, content scrapers, scammers etc.)"

twitter is DEAD 🦋 #ASABWinter2024 is live

Finally getting around to making a bluesky account after attending the amazing #ASABWinter2024.
