Please retweet / re-X(?), share to your contacts, or send via DM to help Charlotte Winder and I get as many responses as possible to our short survey of Ontario cow-calf producers.

Any PhDs out there interested in postdocs in Canada, Banting Fellowships are now much better paid! Anyone interested in farm animal welfare, especially related to boredom or enrichment, feel free to reach out via my Dalhousie email: dal.ca/faculty/gradst…

🐴 New project on separation anxiety in horses! If you have a few minutes to spare to tell us what you understand by the term “separation anxiety in horses”, it would greatly help our research! Thank you. 🙂 Further information and survey here: unilincolnlifescienc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1z…

Great day 1 of #ufaw2024. From lab animals to shrimp to animal welfare considerations in some laws most of us don't usually think about....

Kicking off the day with one of my favourite topics, boredom, from Charlie Burn! #ufaw2024

Great talk by Vincent Bombail showing individual differences in response to a "positive" treatment (tickling rats, always fun research) and that we might want to adjust overall recommendations as a result #ufaw2024

Exciting MRes opportunity at Harper Adams University with Dr Annabelle Beaver, looking at impacts of cow-calf separation on behaviour and affective state! jobs.harper-adams.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?r… Please share!

Was nice to get to examine this one!
