ASAB Education Committee
@asabeducation.bsky.social
The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB) has an Education Committee that supports colleagues teaching animal behaviour from schools through to higher education.
It’s Big Bang 💥in Schools! We’re here in Hackney - what young people know about animal behaviour and why studying it is important. Inspired by @jowimpenny.bsky.social ‘s book Beauty of the Beasts. Vultures, slow loris, wasps and rats - cute? or not? And why we should think about it 🐝🐀🦅🙊
Role of the #EDIA Committee is to provide leadership for ASAB and its members, to encourage learning, discussion and understanding about EDIA, and provide support and opportunities to underrepresented groups www.asab.org/edia-overview via @asab.org cc @asabeducation.bsky.social #HappyPride2026
