Important article! I study how wildlife is depicted on social media, BUT we shouldn't ignore how domestic animals are treated. Please don't like, or give full view, to social media posts of animals that may be distressing the animal.

So... Republicans think that other countries should be "pulling themselves up by their bootstraps" and not needing our help, yet I'm talking to incoming Princeton students who have EARNED the right to study here and will go back and help their countries, and they can't get visas at US Embassies? 🤔

Hi! Thank you for your response! I knew different sites used different terms for this movement - I’d mostly heard tree surfing,
If you’ve got any short clips I can make into a gif or put on loop, I would love it! AndreaLD@princeton.edu

It is SO hard to find gifs of primates in the WILD (not pets), NOT INTERACTING WITH HUMANS. My research shows that the more we feature people handling wildlife, the more likely the public is to want them as pets or to have a similar experience. Google searches = 💔😢.

Can anyone share a vid of ...

‪@mcuban.bsky.social‬ - You're doing a lot of great things to counter Trump's anti-intellectual, anti-science agenda. We need help to save an orangutan conservation & research field site - federal funding is drying up and fire season is near. Please reach out if you can help. redapes.org/core-borneo

Today I wanted to see exactly how much crime undocumented immigrants commit. It turns out less than 1/2 of the crime (adjusted to population size) that US citizens commit. What I found equally interesting is that the US GOVERNMENT KNOWS THIS, it was published here: docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/...

Scientists are unfairly and devastatingly seeing their grants cut and careers thrown into uncertainty, yet are still working 24/7 to continue their research, treat patients, talk to journalists, advocate with elected officials, and keep the public informed about potential threats. Absolute heroes!

I made a risky decision yesterday that I'm proud of. I asked a Princeton funder if I could revise my application so that, instead of me going to do fieldwork this summer, I could hire 3 undergrads instead. So many students aren't finding internships or work - now I can help.

So now we’re going after people who paid taxes in good faith and just ignoring the millionaires and billionaires who don’t? The country I want to live in is one where people work hard and contribute to the economy-not where bloated celebrities to walk the line of illegality to go after brown People.

Does anyone have primate casts (cranial and/or post cranial) that I can buy? I’m trying to establish a set for the First Gen/Low Income students I’ll be teaching this summer.
I’ll be paying out of pocket so am looking to buy used.

Earned my dark circles after giving my first lab practical (!!!), dealing with a sick dog, and sneaking a few good deeds for the people our country is trying to deport and erase.
If you want to take peaceful & meaningful action against the current administration - contact me! I’ve got ideas!

Hey, smart people - I’m trying to help people in need and those being abused by the administration as much as I can. Do we know if there are populations of immigrants without documents who have not had the measles vaccine? If so, any ideas on how to get that to them since US idiots are anti-vax?
March 6, 2025 at 12:24 AM
Just gave my first lab practical exam!!! The students liked it!

Your turn! I know that if you follow me, and you’re on Blusky, you likely are liberal. What can you do to let your voice be heard? We are 100million+ strong - we have power if we use it! Doing nothing is assent.

Hey Blusky community, our little dog Milano needs help. I’m embarrassed- we’ve run out of $ to treat him. He was a caged puppy mill dog who then suffered paralysis - we got the surgery, PT, everything - & he walked!2y later, something is happening again and we need an MRI.

Does anyone here have experience with dogs having hydrated disc extrusion or IVDE? Our little guy was paralyzed from the neck down (c4-c5) for a bit 2 years ago and made around 90% recovery. His proprioception is getting bad again - worried it’s returning. I’ve read it can recur, what happens next?

Hmmm, maybe we academics don’t have to worry about students using AI to write this jackass in charge.

Not trying to say I told you so, but… 2, maybe 3, Oscar nominations for this little feminist horror film 🫰🫰

Am I a bad person??? I’ve started to post the horrible things the Trump administration does on social media, and tag the few Trump supporters I know, asking if this is what they voted for. Imo people need to be aware that their choices have serious consequences, even if not directly to them.
January 23, 2025 at 12:58 PM
Dear world,
I am so sorry for what is happening today, and what will happen in the future. There are a lot of good people left in this country, and we will do all we can to stop any horrors coming from this White House both within our borders and beyond

Well, friends, on Monday we will re-enter a Trump presidency. I’m terrified. Have you thought about what your “lines” are? What has to happen before you “take action”, and what does that look like? I don’t think Canada is the escape route I hoped it would be.

I wonder what would happen if every time you had a denial from your insurance, you googled the CEOs name and address?
Just a hypothetical
