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 🐴

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.

I’m very excited to have been awarded a Leverhulme Trust grant to study co-representation across 3 cultures (Uganda, Republic of Korea and UK) in dyads and groups.

I’ll soon be advertising for a 3 year postdoc. More details to follow, but please drop me a message if you’re interested! 😊🌍

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.
