I will die on this one: pay is the single largest gatekeeper we have in academia.
This crap isn’t viable.
It’s hurting people, and limiting the pool of talented folks that think it’s a good idea to do science or have the resources to do so.

⚠️Careful what images you share! ⚠️ Posts can inadvertently promote wildlife pet trade, even with responsible captions. Our new pub in latest Conservation Biology.

It has now been more than a year since Canada’s new Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Dairy Cattle was published. With only a few exceptions, the requirements of the new code came into effect on April 1, 2024.

Another reason to #PauseBeforePosting, a responsible caption doesn't stop viewers from thinking a primate would make a good pet. Latest research from @CassieFreund, myself and others, #openaccess @ConBiology @lincolnparkzoo
