I'm an evolutionary ecologist with a PhD who studies birds & who writes about all sorts of #science topics (links to these pieces will pop up here).

I think it's my duty to write about politics, such as #HumanRights #progressivism and #ecocide, as well as philosophical topics, such as #AnimalRights & #veganism.

I 'm an avid reader who writes #BookReviews. I'm #multilingual.

I live with a flock of #parrots.

Over at @sciencemagazine I reviewed @9brandon's marvelous MEET THE NEIGHBORS, about animal lives, animal minds, and ethics of animal-human relating. It's a brilliant book and I hope you'll check it out. #books #bookreview #bookstodon #animals #animalwelfare #animalrights #anthropology #biology https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq5698


Thrilled that this short animation based around my work on animal grief is now live. The animation division of TED, at TED-Ed, invited me to collaborate with their team in bringing out some of the animal-grief science and my ideas on why knowing this information matters for treatment of animals. I worked with a brilliant animator, Denis Chapon! Have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sNpMb4M7XM #animals #anthropology #grief #animalwelfare #animalrights #animation #TED
