Huge thanks to my capable collaborators, Ana and Nancy, for joining me on this paper. It’s time for canine science to move beyond its flawed reliance on cortisol as a welfare indicator - we explore why and what that might look like. Out today, open access: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I often joke that 8yo me would be thrilled with the job I find myself in today 🐶❤️ To be fair, modern me is pretty stoked! 😆 I’m thankful that my education, work experience & opportunities have landed me here and grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way 🫶🏼 #science #dogs #animalwelfare

Prof Georgina Such joined me to celebrate my Uni Melb Women In Science Award! 📸 This supports my Happy Dog Science research. Our photo buddy Dingpants (aka Dinky) is a 5mth old rescue looking for his forever home 🐕💕 www.petrescue.com.au/listings/112... #womeninstem #adoptdontshop #dogs #science

This study highlights the rising concerns over the genetic health of purebred dogs, from inherited disorders to problems linked with selection for extreme physical characteristics: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #dogs #animalwelfare

Look forward to reading this new paper. Key finding: there is a notable research gap investigating the impact of participation in scent detection tasks on the behaviour and physiology and hence the welfare of dogs www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #science #dogs #animalwelfare
