Nice talk starting by @marionkoopmans.bsky.social about anti-science @escmid.bsky.social She starts by stating that it is not her field of expertise, but she will show her observations.

Very nice to welcome a group of (designated) veterinarians
De 4e Groep Proefdier Dierenarts (GPD)-dag was dit jaar bij het BPRC in Rijswijk. 🩺

Een middag vol interessante presentaties en een rondleiding over ons terrein. 🐒

We kijken terug op een geslaagde middag en danken de bezoekers en het GPD-bestuur voor hun komst en interesse in het BPRC!

Mooi verhaal bij het @bprc-eu.bsky.social gisteren; leren Java-apen emotioneel gemotiveerd gedrag van elkaar? En jawel. Ze vinden t reuzegrappig om via een touchscreen de computer te laten crashen. En leren dat met gemak door elkaar te observeren.
