Day one of Canine Science Forum is drawing to a close, and what an interesting day it has been. I'm looking forward to presenting tomorrow, and also watching talks by two other @DTScholar researchers - Dr Eleanor Jordan and Eliza Ruiz-Izaguirre. #CSF2023

Excellent plenary talk by Peter Sandøe to kick start Day 2 of #CSF2023. Even as far back as the early 1900’s, people were concerned about designer breeding.

Really exciting to see the longitudinal research @dogstrust and Dogs Trust's Canine Behaviour & Research Teams 💛 are conducting with their Generation Pup project! There’s a huge lack of longitudinal studies in this field so this work is much needed!

Very pleased to have been able to present at #CSF2023 today, and to have had such great discussions following @DTScholar talks. Thank you Hoi-Lam Jim @hljim.bsky.social for the work you did towards this talk. I can now fully relax and enjoy the rest of the conference. 😎

What a great city venue for a conference. Thank you so much to all the organisers for all their hard work. What a thought-provoking and inspiring experience. 🐕 #CSF2023 Canine Science Forum
