Hei Marius! Thanks! Yes, the paper is under review at the moment but the preprint is online. You can check it out here: spkl.io/6188Ab4M8

Pretty sure

When looking #wildlife disease data from cities, we must ask: which human attitudes, #policies, and behaviours have created the ecological conditions we are measuring?

These dynamics mean that #zoonotic risk is not a fixed property of urban dwellings animals. It emerges from feedback between human perceptions, management, and animal #behaviour. Urban disease ecology is therefore inseparable from the (human) #social context in which the animals live.

People’s attitudes translate into action. Feeding increases flock density and contact rates, facilitating disease #transmission. Repealing procedures (noise machines, spikes, and culling) increase stress levels, which may in turn impact immune function and disease shedding.

Shoutout to the pigeon team and many thanks to @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social for the travel grant,
@bangoruniversity.bsky.social for covering the conference fee & the chance to volunteer,
and @uantwerpen.be for funding my PhD project.

yup! And the they already got the people blinded and fooled. Lots of backlashes for the reds that voted Trump and then they’re surprised “I thought this is not applying to me or my closed ones”

This marks a big step toward science-driven #policymaking in #mentalhealthcare! 🌍✨

A key moment: Dr. David Erritzoe (@imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social) shared insights on how psychedelics affect brain function & the latest research advancements. His work is bridging basic science & clinical applications, shaping the future of psychedelic medicine.
