🫣 When we look at our overflowing landfills and toxic ecologies, perhaps an obscure qualifier is more fitting: Homo sapiens sapiens, the ultimate waste-generating humans. Join us on Friday, 25 September 2026. Drop a DM for the Zoom link

#ECBB2026 had a special situation where a friend needed help with his prosthetic equipment. Since the spares were not available, we had to resort to being "tool makers" and innovators. Marvelous organisers ensured our fren was home, safely. @angliaruskin.bsky.social @ecbb2026.bsky.social @asab.org

JAWS of SAWS!!! When the conference draws to its end, our lovely organising committee has had it.... now, every help is bartered with a pound sawed off. Watch out, if you are near LAB 005 at @angliaruskin.bsky.social, during #ECBB2026 (just for pun!).

There are unfortunate aspects of culturally entrenched livelihood practices that link very distant lands: India and Brazil. Fantastic keynote in the Primate Symposium #ECBB2026. मदारी

Super thanks for the support @sophiadaoudi.bsky.social and @raccoonologist.bsky.social ! It was cool to see the works of @aldinafranco.bsky.social and Christian Rutz get such good attendance. Attaching the video of a dog responding to conch shell sound with a howl!

🧐On International #Dog Day🚨Academics Fear Reviewer #2. Then Comes Reviewer #2Billion. Academics spend years fearing Reviewer #2. Then your paper reaches the newspaper and suddenly peer review feels like soft music. From “bullshit” to questioning whether my mother fed me—welcome to public peer review

😇🐕 Our work on “The Indian street dog crisis and multispecies coexistence in tropical urban futures” has made it to the cover & banner www.nature.com/articles/s44.... It is an ordinary Indian street, with people, dogs, food, traffic, homes, trees, and all the negotiations that make a city alive.

Always special to meet and interact with @arjundevamar.bsky.social at #BOU2025. What he was developing in BOU 2016 has blossomed into a strong methodology. Super cool; indirect citizen science :)

Artificial light at nyt ALAN that has fuelled "civilizational growth" & affected biodiversity across the globe needs more focus. Here, macaque troops in AUD campus are grooming beyond daylyt. These troops get food subsidies, prompting How are we affecting social processes? @ncbsbangalore.bsky.social

The ever fantastic Dr. Antica Culina shared staggering logjams on how poor research reproducibility/data utilisation cause "criminal" waste of limited research funds. But are there 🤔 more aspects to mind for Opening the turf of doing and enjoying science? Join #ASAB24 Panel Discussion!

Darwin stirred some ideas that challenged victorian orthodox notions about females. But like the concept of god, the masculine supremacy was also equally hard to unlearn. Fantastic plenary by Malih Ah-King. #ASAB24
