BREAKING: American and Southwest Airlines announce that they will ignore Republican Governor Greg Abbott's foolish ban on vaccine mandates and will continue to enforce them in deference to the Biden administration's orders. RT IF YOU SUPPORT THEIR DECISION!

Myth-busting science from van Rooy and Wade 😁 “Our results do not support that chocolate-coloured Labradors are more hyperactive or aggressive than either black or yellow Labradors”

Important research on heritability of traits in dog breeds. Traits with highest genetic influence were trainability (h2 = 0.73), stranger-directed aggression (h2 = 0.68), chasing (h2 = 0.62) and attachment and attention seeking (h2 = 0.56). Makes sense.
Fun work with @SMack_Lab, @theBeepz , and @JamesASerpell looking at the genetics of breed differences in dog behavior. Genetic factors explain the majority of variance across breeds, and associated SNPs are in genes highly expressed in brain. Woof! biorxiv.org/content/early/20…
