Proud to announce the winners of the 3rd edition of the Animal Research Tomorrow #3Rs and #Scicomm awards! This year we got dozens of great projects and candidates to choose from, and it was indeed hard to select just four awardees!
Looking forward to the award ceremony!

Short answer is 'no'. Long answer is 'Hell, no!'

Quick update. Flash and Simba remain inseparable. They now come indoors quite frequently (sometimes a few 'accidents' happen, but it's fine) and Vicky remains unimpressed, but tolerant.

Correlation is not causation. And yet...

Came to say good night to the boys and now I can't move.

The pre-print of the RIVER recommendations for Reporting In Vitro Experiments Responsibly is out now! osf.io/preprints/meta… #responsible #reporting

It's even worse. Nobody checks whether said papers are any good, so you get hired based on how flashy the journals your research was published were. Not only this is a poor proxy of research quality, it also has more to do with your PhD supervisor than with you.

After 15 years keeping afloat in the Portuguese scientific landscape, I'm now looking for a new job. It can be something temporary (1-2 years). If you happen to know of any available positions to which I could apply to, please let me know.

One of the few things us Portuguese can actually be proud of.

As long as there are dogs, there is a glimpse of hope.

The Altmetrics are wild, though.

Thank you. I was looking for a good excuse not to review a manuscript for them. This will do the trick. They actually asked me to 'edit' the manuscript, rather than review it. Isn't it their job to do it? Anyway, this harms all honest researchers publishing credible papers there.

My new book The EDGE of SENTIENCE: Risk and Precaution in Humans, Other Animals, and AI will be coming out later this year. There will be a print book and a FREE Open Access PDF. If you'd like a free PDF on release day, you can sign up for updates now: sites.google.com/view/edgeofsen…

Calling everyone teaching on human-animal interactions, new textbook out edited by the fabulous Dr. Laëtitia Maréchal!

In psychology 96% of published tests of hypotheses find support for their hypothesis. This means that as a scientist you need a solid understanding of bias - how to detect it, and what to do about inflated effects - if you want to evaluate claims in the scientific literature.

Great to see COST_TEATIME being mentioned in a talk by Sandra Vaz at the 5th SPCAL Congress.

Guilty as charged
