Researchers using accelerometers - does anybody have recommendations for small, off-the-shelf devices that collect high-frequency tri-axial timestamped data? #AnimalBehavior, #BehavioralEcology, #MovementEcology, #accelerometer

Very excited to be starting a 3 month travel fellowship with Jonathan Wright and Yimen Araya at CBD at NTNU NTNU and David Westneat from University of Kentucky tomorrow. Thank you to SQuID for the opportunity and funding. Stay tuned for further updates!

The pure excitement of getting my own private office CBD at NTNU 😍. It’s going to be hard to return to Edinburgh! #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

Today was my last day The Roslin Institute before I start my #maternity leave and what a great send off I got! Lots of gifts which were of course #duck themed! 🦆 #AcademicChatter

Enjoying my first Defunct ASAB Conference on maternity leave, can’t wait to hear about all the cool science on animal cognition #asabwinter2023

Trilled to discover the well-being/nursing room at the Defunct ASAB Conference venue #asabwinter2023 #academicmums

Excellent Tinbergen lecture by Giorgio Vallortigara (Giorgio Vallortigara), A sense for animacy: imprinting, predispositions and the building of a social brain.” We were as hypnotized by this wonderful talk as chickens! 🐓 🐣 🧠 #ASABwinter2023

For all people who struggle with academic writing, Loisa Lagisz and I share our experiences and secrets, which helped 50+ students publish their first papers. Please share with your colleagues! Trends in Ecology & Evolution paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… preprint: osf.io/preprints/osf/… 1/4

This was my experience too, when moving to a large industry player after a career in academia. Obviously there is a strong interest in the subject of studies funded - but the work itself tends to be of high quality & and level of scrutiny lacking in most purely academic studies.

First time seeing the #Auroraborealis last night and it was in my back garden in #Edinburgh!

Looking for recommendations on video recording setups to monitor movement & mating behaviour in group-housed poultry. Need multi-cam, 1-week continuous filming & multi-angle review. Suggestions? #AnimalBehavior #BehavioralEcology #Ethology #VideoAnalysis #PoultryResearch

In the final stretch of grant writing, ruthlessly cutting words to squeeze into the word count limit. Feeling euphoric, unstoppable, and dangerously close to the word count 😵‍💫 #AcademicChatter #grantwriting
