PhD position to work on canid visual and acoustic communication and cognition. It's an exciting opportunity to come to work in Switzerland and Austria!

My first ever poster, presented at the MPI-EVA Leipzig Bridging the Technological Gap workshop 2024. Computational approaches to studying raven movements around fire! Thanks to organisers @P_eMartin, Hanna Schleihauf, Laura Simone Lewis, PhD, + Joachim Herz Foundation

Well I said coauthors not on X but I found out Océane Liehrmann @OLiehrmann.bsky.social IS here, so kudos for her for mapping > 7000 re-sigtings of lizards in swampy mesocosm cells, translating our confusing blabbering into french, and making me this "camembertian" birthday celebration!

Very glad I got to participate to this study! Thank you Javier Ábalos for trusting me with the lizards scanning! What a nice time it was at the Moulis research station in the Pyrénées.

The joy of being a grantee ... I am not employed by Faculty of Science - University of Turku anymore, but I am still affiliated to them. They get 💰💵 each time I publish but I am not entitled to a Microsoft365 License on my work computer ... Uni gets all the benefits from freeworkers and we get nothing.

Great Job, donkeys deserve much more appreciation !

Shany Dror did it again! 🐶 Another paper on the Gifted Word Learning Dogs' is out! These dogs can remember object names for years! ⌛️#dogscience #dogsoftwitter #geniusdogchallenge royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

This one is for the dog people: the final chapter of my PhD, investigating overimitation in dogs, also came out this week 🥴 🐶 (1/3) nature.com/articles/s4159…

New research by Shany Dror , Claudia Fugazza and Adam Miklosi finds that dogs remember the names of specific toys after they've been put away for two years! #caninescience theguardian.com/science/articl…

The press release for our last paper is now out ! utu.fi/en/news/press-…

New press release, super cute male wall Lizards shake their foot to avoid being bullied. It was a pleasure to conduct fieldwork and experiments with Javier Ábalos and Alicia Bartolomé. I have learned so much about lizards and their funny communication behaviors🦎

Do not use animals for human welbeing if you don't care for the animal welfare... Bringing alpacas for 2h with no option to avoid unwanted human interactions is not ethical. Turun yliopisto - University of Turku should not promote such trend. It also shows how Finland is lacking animal welfare research!

Océane Liehrmann @OLiehrmann.bsky.social Turun yliopisto - University of Turku Please do not confuse people's ignorance with the lack of animal welfare research in Finland 🤔 We have had animal welfare research performed at the University of Helsinki Life Sciences University of Helsinki for more than a quarter of a century.

Our new paper using deep learning to describe primate facial gestures is now online! Please give it a read! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @DBIOSUnito DeepLabCut 🦄

I am also slowly migrating towards a new sky. You can follow me there Océane Liehrmann @OLiehrmann.bsky.social.bsky.social Let me know if you're on it as well :)

Hunters in France telling hikers that they should go away, because they decided to hunt brids in the fog and this is not safe for them... This is not an isolated case, hunters in France really think they are above the law, and the hunting lobby is extremely powerful.
