New paper out with my fantastic colleagues of the @manydogsproject.bsky.social 🐶 We outline some of the ways that #CanineScience can increase diversity, both in the dog populations we study and the researchers leading the work #BigTeamScience #OpenScience 1/2

Would a dog in New York City respond in the same way as a dog in Kyoto? @jespinosa.bsky.social and colleagues address how studies on domestic dogs tend to focus on a Westernized subset.

In addition to a hiring PhD in ~October & hopefully some PhDs and postdocs ~February, if anyone would like to work with me as part of eg a Marie-Curie or something similar, please do get in touch. Topics include depression, classification, measurement, systems, time-series, & theory building.

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

I am really angry about all of the scientists who cozied up to Epstein even after it was known who he was. I am nearly as angry at how many people are justifying this as "they had to, it's how academia works" NO IT FUCKING WELL ISN'T

Andrew Perfors@perfors.net · 6mo ago

You don't have to dirty your soul to be a successful academic or a scientist. Have some fucking pride. Have some fucking principles. If you think you DO need to do that, all I can say is that I beg you not to go into academia or science.

#CO3 is my conference home and I'm so excited that it's coming to Canada this year 🍁 Consider presenting your comparative work, there's still time to send in an abstract! If you're into running, I'm thinking we should organize a fun run up Mount Royal one morning 🙌😅

New episode!! 🎙️🎉 A chat w/ @pbrakes.bsky.social about animal cultures and animal conservation. Culture was once thought to be uniquely human. No longer. We now know culture is found throughout the natural world. How does this complicate conservation? Listen: disi.org/the-value-of...

Research can feel like shouting into the void. I’m deeply grateful that Emma Buchtel, Xu Jingya, & Betul Turel built on our “wise reasoning” work to tackle cultural diversity. They presented a large-scale study proposal at the 2025 @psychscience.bsky.social Global Summit. #culturaldiversity

The argument of THE ARROGANT APE is that human exceptionalism—a.k.a. anthropocentrism or human supremacy—is at the root of the ecological crisis, giving humans a sense of dominion over Nature, entitled to commodify earth and other species for our own exclusive benefit.
