Hello mutuals and followers!
Just wanted to put it out there that I land in the UK on a 3-year visa (HPI visa) on Jan 1st 2024! I'll be living in Surrey for a while until I find a postdoc or a cute little village to live in. Preferably near hedgehogs and badgers ❤️🦔🦡
Them (female-identifying/presenting): why do you want me to move to the old-growth forest with you so much?
Me: ...frog, forest witchcore life?
Also me:

If "3 Body Problem" isn't a romcom about polyamorous academics on the job market, I'm calling false advertising.
Hi all! Just an update on my UK journey - I'm still searching for a postdoc position or a university that would host me if we applied for funding opportunities!
Also, I'm starting a website to connect zoo workers with quality custom-made enrichment devices! #zooanimalwelfare
👏👏👏 Science should presume all animals are conscious until proven otherwise.
My paper "'All animal are conscious' Shifting the null hypothesis in consciousness science" is now out! Current science can't decide which animals are conscious & we should presume they all are, even C. elegans--so science can find a decision procedure. 🪱onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Hi again all!! Just an update to let you know I am now residing in the UK and looking for postdocs or consulting opportunities!!

It's always a bit daunting to be an outsider commenting on another academic discipline. But all I met was openness and kindness at #ISAE2023 last week. A trademark of the society, I think. It's good to be a philosopher among ethologists. Thanks for all the comments and questions.
Excellent talk by Jes Lynning Harfeld (@harfeld) on the history of animal welfare and its connection to ethics!! So good to see intersectional talks from other (very relevant) disciplines at #ISAE2023 #ISAETallinn

Rockstar @oleksiy_guzhva making AI and responsible PLF accessible to all of us using his excellent communication skills. Bridging the gab between research and practical use of digital innovations in farming is essential for the future. #isae2023 #plf #sustainabletech
