If "3 Body Problem" isn't a romcom about polyamorous academics on the job market, I'm calling false advertising.

It's always a bit daunting to be an outsider commenting on another academic discipline. But all I met was openness and kindness at #ISAE2023 last week. A trademark of the society, I think. It's good to be a philosopher among ethologists. Thanks for all the comments and questions.
Excellent talk by Jes Lynning Harfeld (@harfeld) on the history of animal welfare and its connection to ethics!! So good to see intersectional talks from other (very relevant) disciplines at #ISAE2023 #ISAETallinn

Rockstar @oleksiy_guzhva making AI and responsible PLF accessible to all of us using his excellent communication skills. Bridging the gab between research and practical use of digital innovations in farming is essential for the future. #isae2023 #plf #sustainabletech

Insightful presentation by Dr. Lorenz Gygax on ‘an ecologically meaningful multi-choice system to assess animal wanting’ at #ISAE2023.

Today marks the start of a new era in Aotearoa New Zealand; a day for animal welfare, where the animals and their lived experienced were put first and economics second.
The day Ao/NZ no longer exports livestock of sea. Ka pai!

Had such a great time taxonomically classifying game creatures at #PAXAUS this year. Huge thanks to the panelists: @TortoiseMark, @rmcint16, @HelenEnsikat & Dr Rolf Schmidt of @MVPalaeo, and to my co-host @DungeonMaster - you guys are awesome.
Can't wait to do it again!

Saying the word "fuck" to someone in a professional context (my experience):
British: slightly shocked pause
American: dead silence like you announced your spree of murders
Australian: "yeah, fuck is right, it's a fucking nightmare"

Being able to say “I study dragons” and it be 100% true is probably my favourite part about studying bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps).. that or how cute the babies are when they’re eating a plate of cut up strawberries 🐲🍓🦎 #MQHDRContest @MQBiology

"I was sick to my stomach... He’s standing next to a woman who has campaigned for ‘Let Her Speak’ and yet in my mind his government was complicit in silencing me. It was a betrayal. It was a lie.”
