We're excited to host @Caterinaberardo.bsky.social, a grad student visiting our lab this spring! She's currently in the PhD psychology program at the University of Nottingham Trent, England studying the effects of interpersonal synchrony on social interactions in infants & great apes.

Still finding it hard to reconnect with everyone from Twitter (X) so here’s an attempt at finding all animal behaviourists, ethologists, behavioural ecologists etc, working with animal behaviour. Just pop a comment and I’ll add you to the list - let’s reconnect 😃 #appliedethology go.bsky.app/8oJ3A8E
