Jane Goodall Institute of CanadaDr. Jane was once asked when she started loving animals, and she said: "When I popped out of my mother's womb!" She loved to share one particular story from her childhood, when her mom stumbled on her studying Earthworms – in her bed! Photos: The Goodall Family
Many Australians don’t fully grasp how our preferential voting system works, and that’s a shame because it’s one of the best features of our democracy. It allows for Independent seats to be won on the crossbench - holding #ALP #LNP #ON accountable!!! #Election #Voting #Australia 1/4

A song for the Aussies 🎶🎤 Always loved Swanee - tickets out now to see him live. Had no idea Alan Barnes had such a beautiful voice.

Jimmy Barnes, Alan BarnesYouTube video by SwaneeVEVOwww.youtube.comIf this piece of shit #Barnaby is comfortable screaming at his dog on live national television in Australia, it’s reasonable to question how he treats his pets when no one is watching. Most Australians would hope that concerned neighbours/friends speak up if they witness any signs of #AnimalAbuse. 🐾

NAMs and NATSnorecopa.noTIMxAIWould love to hear more about the alternatives you’re seeing—how do you think we could balance care for animals *with* the critical research that helps all of us live longer, healthier lives?
I’ve heard this story too many times. I've had researchers come to me, breaking down over being forced to harm animals. “Self-care,” “resilience,” and every other bullshit catchphrase can’t fix a broken system. In 2026, this should not be happening when alternatives exist. #AnimalResearch
