Three brain myths that need to dieDid you know that your blood passes through your kidneys roughly 300 times per day?nicholaraihani.substack.com

Big congrats to @morfjoe.bsky.social on this exciting new paper in Science Advances! We provide evidence that larger flocks of migratory birds navigate more accurately toward their target direction than smaller ones

Two postdoc positions at the Messerli Research Institute in Vienna in the research area of human-animal interactions: www.vetmeduni.ac.at/fileadmin/v/...

So it's farewell to the History subject area at the University of Hertfordshire, not the first nor the last to go. One of the best departments in the country, just extinguished like a snap of the fingers. Think of the waste. (1/2)

Kudos to @science.org for this self-analysis of the peer review process. These kind of data are never shared and don't have to be. Wildly refreshing to see it out in the open. Editorial and peer review dynamics at elite general science journals | Science Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

It’s a little nerve-wracking playing in another field’s sandbox, but this was a really fun way to bring some primatology to an ancient Egyptian conundrum.. so if you’re into big baboons, Egyptian dieties, etymological puzzles, &/or spectroscopy of shiny things.. read on! 🧪🏺🐒🌕 tinyurl.com/moonbaboon

Ever noticed how in a tense situation, a reassuring touch can help calm things down? New research from our Department of Psychology suggests reassuring touch could be an evolutionary tool dating back over six million years.  tinyurl.com/2r3v74k6

When semi-domesticated reindeer escape managed herding and go feral, how do they readapt to wild conditions? A new #genomic study of Norwegian reindeer populations reveals a surprising answer: they borrow genetic variation from their wild neighbours doi.org/10.1098/rspb... #ProcB #Ecology #Evolution
