We’re at #AWRN2025 this week, where we’re really excited that #wildanimalwelfare is being highlighted.

Wonderful to see some of our grantees taking center stage, including an opening plenary by María Diez Leon and a great talk by Ricardo Lemos de Figueiredo on crayfish welfare.

🧪 Science on Bluesky

A new study of 2.6m posts finds research gets far more likes, reposts, and thoughtful replies on @bsky.app than on X.

Scholars call it a 'purer' space for discussion.
