I had an interesting and inspiring time at #ReadEmo25, thanks for inviting me! It was great to catch up on the latest in human emotion research and to bring horses to the event (not literally!) 🐎😁

Our last session at #ReadEmo25 is a first for the series, with Leanne Proops talking about facial expressions in non-human animals, presenting her work with horses! 🐎

Check out my article in The Conversation, all about our latest paper, which created an extensive catalogue of horse facial expressions 🐴 Thank you so much for inviting me to contribute! #TheConversation #equineresearch #facialexpressions theconversation.com/horses-have-...

Horses have a complex repertoire of facial expressions, just like primates

The study has created a catalogue of horse facial expressions to help people understand how to read these incredible animals.

Something we've been meaning to do for years - documenting horse facial expressions during social interactions using EquiFACS. Well done @kate-lewis.bsky.social! And thanks for the netFACS support @jmicheletta.bsky.social 🐴 @parkerlab.bsky.social

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 We have created the first anatomically based ethogram of horse facial behaviour, covering a broad range of distinct behaviours from aggression through to play 🐴 Check it out here: peerj.com/articles/193... @leanneproops.bsky.social @uop-ccep.bsky.social

We should be worried about the UK's capacity to adequately monitor and enforce animal welfare regulations www.theguardian.com/environment/...

UK failing animals with just one welfare inspector for every 878 farms – report

Only 2.5% of more than 300,000 farms were inspected at least once in 2022 and 2023, researchers find

Predatory publisher MDPI is trying to influence the Polish government to prevent them from giving low scores for predatory journals, asking scientists to support them in this letter. I encourage Polish scientists to do exactly the opposite, and support the current project proposed by our government.

New episode!! 🎉🎙️ A conversation w/ @jaapderoode.bsky.social and Dr. Michael Huffman! We think of medicine as a quintessentially human art. But animals—from bees to bears—have long healed themselves. And, in fact, we humans long learned from their medicinal ways. Listen: disi.org/animal-heal-...

We are currently advertising two fully-funded PhD scholarships to work on a new project preventing extinctions of Australia’s threatened mammals with ancient DNA. #sediments #aDNA #eDNA For further details, please see: scholarships.adelaide.edu.au/Scholarships...
