Kat is right about all of this. One of the reasons that college sexual violence is uniquely devastating is because it changes the victim’s entire future.

Sparked by a waste crisis driven by rapid urbanization in the 20th century, the effect of the changes to the country's food waste management since the 1990s has been remarkable: South Korea's food waste recycling rate rose from just 2.6% in 1996 to nearly 97% in 2023 www.bbc.com/future/artic...

New York has a food waste problem. South Korea has already solved it
South Korea has cut household food waste going to landfill from 97% to almost nothing. New York City has started sending its scraps the same way.

This lion sighting was nothing short of a sensation. It's the first lion spotted in Gabon since the 1990s and caught on our PanAf Chimp&See camera trap video. Here's a CNN article about it: edition.cnn.com/2015/04/02/a... . A documentary about the discovery and its consequences is now in the making.

Online now: The emerging field of wild animal welfare science
dlvr.it
The emerging field of wild animal welfare science
The emerging interdisciplinary field of wild animal welfare science (WAWS) explicitly expands the study of welfare to animals in the wild. It has applied value in informing how to improve the welfare of wild animals, ensuring they can thrive as well as survive in the face of the challenges of the Anthropocene. It also has intellectual value by generating new knowledge and insights about the affective states of wildlife. We aim to help scientists and practitioners understand how WAWS can support their work. To facilitate engagement in the field, we articulate core principles and key characteristics, and explore opportunities and challenges. We encourage those with relevant interests to engage in the field’s development and application.

Today's pigeons are doing that thing pigeons do where they take turns keeping watch for each other while they eat.
One pigeon pecks at the ground while the other keeps watch. Even though pigeons are wildly competitive for food, they watch over each other while they eat. The one pecking at the ground says DO NO HARM. The one keeping lookout says TAKE NO SHIT

Do you love animal behavior & want to share that joy with younger folks? Write a short article on animal behavior for Frontiers for Young Minds (ages 8–15), co-authored with an undergrad! Part of an international ABS collection. Expression of interest due April 30. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Flyer advertising special collection of stories for Frontiers for Young Minds. We invite expressions of interest for a curated collection of short articles on animal behavior to be published in Frontiers for Young Minds, an open-access journal for readers ages 8–15.
This international collection, developed in collaboration with the Animal Behavior Society, will introduce young readers to how scientists explain behavior using Tinbergen’s four questions. Each article will be co-authored by a researcher and an undergraduate, with an emphasis on clear, engaging communication.
Articles will be ~1,500 words and designed for a broad student and classroom audience. Contributors will work with an undergraduate co-author and participate in iterative editorial development prior to submission.
We anticipate selecting approximately 10–12 articles, depending on the strength and diversity of submissions.
