If you conduct research in behavioural biology, you may be familiar with the excellent automatic tracking software for analysing ethological videos : AnimalTA http://vchiara.eu/index.php/animalta, developed by Violette Chiara. If you use it in classrooms, would you be willing to send me a short testimonial about it? I need it to support a proposal for this software for the "open science software" prize. Thank you in advance for your help.

I am following this fantastic webinar series by UFAW and AWRN on translating animal welfare into law and policy, which has been very educational so far.
My biggest take from the second lecture, is "the UK legal system is utterly bonkers". But I also highly recommend this for learning about how to take your science to policy.

Are you researching emotions (affect) in animals and would you like to communicate with lay public about animal affect? Join us this summer in Utrecht for a training school!
This is organized through the COST action Affect-Evo https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA23106/#tabs+Name:Description so there are (limited) funded spaces for participants from COST countries. Details in the flyer, and more in replies.

I am very happy to share this more personal piece with you, exploring the link between inventiveness and play in our fellow nonhuman animals. It was written with care and a sincere desire to convey what science and philosophy can teach us about this fascinating topic.
I hope you enjoy reading it!
