Check out our thoughts on the topic of neuron counts and intelligence in dinosaurs! We by no means think any dinosaur or any other reptile is ‘stupid’, but do emphasise the importance of making accurate estimates about the neurology and cognition of extinct animals

This quote really cracked me up: “a group of paleontologists used their credentials (which I don't have; I am a neuroscientist) to back up an erroneous apples-and-oranges comparison” … Was she… disparaging my co-authors for having expertise in their field? 😳

All of the parrot pet owners I know, will tell you they’re not “pets” 99% can handle. And even if you do feel that you have the necessary commitment, what happens when you die? Because these big birds will most likely outlive you. And will be extremely distressed when you’re gone

Another new surrender - this is Max. Age unknown. He's been passed around so many homes. One of the reasons why we are so against cockatoos being adopted. People don't get the commitment required. It's the bird that pays the price.

Better yet, read it closely. It's lucid, careful, detailed, thorough and, importantly, fair. Discussions of extrapolating beyond extant data, and relevance of variance and uncertainty to prediction apply to multiple fields. An instant classic on evolutionary neuroscience.

I’m incredibly proud to have been a very small part of this! I never thought researching bird tool use would lead to ever being involved in any degree with extinct dinosaurs 🤩 🦖

@HKesvani Someone recently said to me that pretty much all scientific research is basically only useful in the aggregate, which I think is basically right. The vast majority of PhD topics look (and are) massively niche but they are necessary contributions to bigger questions
@HKesvani People generally don't realize the fact that most theses, and most academic work in general, including scientific, is of this type, regardless of field
@HKesvani i wonder what this author thinks an english phd dissertation written by someone "useful to society" would look like. im imagining it'd be something along the lines of 'a polemic about why Shakespeare would agree with the opinions of my favorite new york times columnists'
It's often somewhat niche English or Social Science PhDs that are used to deride academia and its value, but I remember that one of my uni housemates did a fully funded PhD in pure mathematics, that largely amounted to whether you could write an equation slightly differently
New Crow Time - Eggies 🥚🪺🥓 [1/5]
@Secondlina I was so terrified the big egg was going to be a cowbird but now I’m not sure this is better…
Funny, sure! Engaging, yes! Kind, definitely! Approachable, great! Cool? Probably not unless you’re the kind of person who views your relative age as a bad thing, in which case work that out with a therapist not your classroom
Also: why do you want your STUDENTS who are mostly 18-22 year olds to think you’re cool?? Go find self-esteem elsewhere!
And in a lot of cases that’s not on the students, it’s on other previous teachers who haven’t maintained boundaries with them because they didn’t realize that other people have to work very hard to reinforce those boundaries!
I’m relatively young, small, female, etc and despite my credentials, command of a classroom, and expertise on the subjects I teach, I regularly find students thinking that we are peers rather than having a formal working/pedagogical relationship
I want to air a relatively minor personal gripe: middle-aged professor dudes who want to be ‘cool’ and ‘approachable’ and let their undergrads call them by their first name actually make it harder for those of us who aren’t automatically assumed to belong in the academy
This... chilled me. And gave me flashbacks. How could anyone see this as 'harmless psychological fun'?! 😔
@ScrapNaturalist I’m so sorry, it’s such absurdity and it can happen to anyone. I had someone hint at a very likely contract, thankfully I kept applying elsewhere cause it never happened. I turned down an interview cause I have a job for July but I won’t feel safe til it starts. It’s so stressful
@ScrapNaturalist These people just play with our lives with no shame. I truly hope you get something soon, they clearly didn’t deserve you. That said, it sucks and it’s unfair and total trash. I myself am a big fan of the mope, feeling it, then getting up again to battle on
@DrLMRobinson yes, it has been extremely destabilizing for my family and I - which is an understatement. unfortunately, in California employers are legally protected in doing this :/
@ScrapNaturalist That is some seriously unethical nonsense. There should be legal repercussions for pulling the rug out like this, it’s entirely too common
Hi Folks: One month after hiring me, CDFW decided to cut CA's human-wildlife conflict program for the next fiscal year, to the immense detriment of myself, many staff, & Californians. By accepting this job, I had declined other offers. I am now seeking alternatives. Thank you💙
Hi friends- I'm excited to let y'all know that I've accepted an offer to become the new Statewide Human-Wildlife Conflict Specialist at @CaliforniaDFW starting in a few months! 🐾👣 Our Kenya work will continue as well! All good things, and I'm so incredibly grateful. 🤗
