Would you like to share your research skills with the ESLR community? Starting next year, we will be hosting regular online sessions serving as a platform of mutual exchange and support among early-career researchers. Please do get in touch if you are interested in hosting a session!

Was language ever an issue in an academic conference for you or are you too cool to admit it?
@janirecas.bsky.social @christopherwmiller.bsky.social and I are collecting experiences and opinions to make conferences more comfortable for everyone, regardless of their language proficiency!
As a follow up, we are now focusing on language barriers. To make conferences inclusive for everyone, we need to understand peoples experiences with language at academic events. Please take a moment to fill in our survey and help shape more accessible conferences 🌍✍️

Really proud of this one. Our first study on innovative problem-solving in free-ranging small mammals is fresh off the press of Animal Cognition rdcu.be/eOHl3. We looked at what happens with human disturbance in a protected area...without disturbing our most precious collaborators!

🧪ETHOLOGY: Condition-dependent risk-taking in mice! 🐭💥🍔
Lopez-Hervas et al. show that diet quality and body mass shape mice’s reactions to risk — heavier or better-fed individuals play it safer, supporting the asset-protection hypothesis! Read here, it's #OpenAccess: doi.org/10.1111/eth....
Condition‐Dependent Responses to Risk in a Small Mammal
Responses to a predation risk gradient vary as a function of the resource environment and individual condition in a small mammal.

Think bold animals are the best problem-solvers? Think again. 🐭
New research shows shy mice are more persistent—and that makes all the difference.

🔍 Innovation is about showing up, not just being brave.
