Echidna's snorkel-like beak handy in probable ocean swim from Bribie Island
By Janel Shorthouse
Although known to be capable swimmers, a potential one-kilometre ocean swim by an echidna has landed it in hospital.
If you conduct research in behavioural biology, you may be familiar with the excellent automatic tracking software for analysing ethological videos : AnimalTA http://vchiara.eu/index.php/animalta, developed by Violette Chiara. If you use it in classrooms, would you be willing to send me a short testimonial about it? I need it to support a proposal for this software for the "open science software" prize. Thank you in advance for your help.
I am following this fantastic webinar series by UFAW and AWRN on translating animal welfare into law and policy, which has been very educational so far.
My biggest take from the second lecture, is "the UK legal system is utterly bonkers". But I also highly recommend this for learning about how to take your science to policy.
I will never not click on cuttlefish. This episode of Many Minds with Dr Tessa Montague taught me so much about these amazing animals:

Are you researching emotions (affect) in animals and would you like to communicate with lay public about animal affect? Join us this summer in Utrecht for a training school!
This is organized through the COST action Affect-Evo https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA23106/#tabs+Name:Description so there are (limited) funded spaces for participants from COST countries. Details in the flyer, and more in replies.
