Attended a goat handling course this weekend 🐐. Training covered foot trimming, drenching, and other skills for supporting goat health and welfare- while keeping goats (mostly) cooperative. Thanks to @buttercupsgoats.bsky.social 🐐.

Important paper on promoting transparency and better standards in biologging research, making sure animal welfare is prioritised.
Preprint @ecoevorxiv.bsky.social arising from @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social animal welfare workshops. How can we develop a better error culture in animal biologging where we can learn from our, and others, mistakes and experiences?
