Still finding it hard to reconnect with everyone from Twitter (X) so here’s an attempt at finding all animal behaviourists, ethologists, behavioural ecologists etc, working with animal behaviour. Just pop a comment and I’ll add you to the list - let’s reconnect 😃

I made a starter pack for animal behaviour researchers / ethologists! please share and feel free to self-nominate or suggest others to be added as this is very much still a work in progress and not an exhaustive list 🌍🧪😊 #SciSky #BioSky #AnimalBehaviour #AnimalBehavior #Ethology

I love the concept of Bluesky starter packs, and since I didn’t see one for those of us who study #animal #welfare, decided to make my own! My own network is limited, so PLEASE share and let me know who to add! I’m so excited to connect with all of you! 🐒🐑🐇🐕🐷🐠
