I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

That's so cool!

Susana Monsó @susanamonso.com · 27d

Or me for leaving it there

Susana Monsó @susanamonso.com · 27d

Yeah definitely a mouse. 🥰

Thanks :)

Animal experts! Please can you help me figure out the culprit behind what I found in my office drawer after returning from my holidays? Is it a mouse or a rat? Or something else entirely? I should have it all disinfected right? 😬

The inside of an office drawer with a keyboard, some chapstick, a toothbrush, toothpaste, and handcream. There is a chocolate bar whose wrapping appears to have been torn open. The chocolate shows signs of having been chewed off. There are small poos on the keyboard.

Close up of the chewed up chocolate bar.

More poos in the corner of the drawer.

Es cuestión de tiempo que firme accidentalmente un email como “Sudaba”.

I did not! Thanks a lot for sharing, it looks very interesting.

I'm so looking forward to reading this. Zoopolis had a huge influence on my own ethical thinking and I'm excited to see how Donaldson & Kymlicka have integrated scientific work on animal culture and agency in this one.

Josh Milburn @joshmilburn.bsky.social · Sep 4

Now on the Oxford University Press website, complete with cover: Sue Donaldson and Will Kymlicka's Animals and the Right to Politics, the long-awaited sequel to 2011's Zoopolis.

An expected release date of 11 December. Just in time for Christmas!

September 📚 🏫
In August we took a little vacation 🌞🏖 from the department’s social media, but some members of METIS kept moving. A very brief thread with some of their activities 👇 🧵
