We love to see that more info about @ekupyrova.bsky.social's research can be found at ASAB's #AnimalBehaviourJournal 😁 Our well-respected flagship journal, founded in 1953, is a major part of how we can support such amazing meetings like #ASABSpring2026 - we encourage all of our members to submit!

Well done to both @victoriamallinson.bsky.social and Kath for presenting their research at #asabspring2026 @chrisleduck.bsky.social @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social

Conferences like #ASABSpring2026 are fun but theyre a lot of bloody work. My partner-in-crime @sophiadaoudi.bsky.social and I are shattered 😵 (or maybe it’s just from climbing that bloody hill every morning) I’m very excited to put the videos together though. I think they’ve turned out well!

If you're new to bluesky, here is a great list of folks to follow to get you started! #ASABSpring2026

Seeing so many brilliant early-career scientists and hearing about their research at #ASABSpring2026 is a privilege. Very interesting! It did make it more understandable why it's so hard to get a funded PhD anywhere 😅😭
