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

An ethogram of facial behaviour in domestic horses: evolutionary perspectives on form and function

Understanding cause and function of animal facial behaviour can provide key insights into the animal’s cognitive and emotional state. The Equine Facial Action Coding System (EquiFACS) has characterise...

Just out in Lab Animal: our new global multi-lab zebrafish study is live! Housing and husbandry variables can significantly alter zebrafish anxiety-like behaviour. This is a call for better reporting and #standardisation in #zebrafish research. @uniofsurrey.bsky.social Open access: rdcu.be/enHLj

Housing and husbandry factors affecting zebrafish novel tank test responses: a global multi-laboratory study

Lab Animal - This Article presents the results of a global multi-laboratory study assessing the effects of housing conditions and experimental settings on novel tank test responses in adult zebrafish.

Why didn't 341 MPs sign a letter urging Keir Starmer to create new opportunities for young British people to work and travel in Europe? Do the Greens pose a danger to Labour from the left? This and other questions answered in this week's political diary ⤵️

Pecksniff: 62 Labour MPs want closer EU ties! (But apparently 341 don’t)

In which Mr Pecksniff lays before his readers for their approval certain observations and speculations reflecting on the political life

I am excited to share our latest paper @Nature where we construct a hi-res spatial map of the human hypothalamus, the brain region central in appetite control. It is a collaboration between @IMS_MRL @Cambridge_Uni & @MPI_Metabolism www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A comprehensive spatio-cellular map of the human hypothalamus - Nature

HYPOMAP integrates single-nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomic data to create a comprehensive spatio-cellular map of the human hypothalamus.

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS. I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.
