Job hunting psychologist of monkeys, wolves, dogs and anything interesting and fundable. Incapable of reading anyone's mind including my own. I research animal personality, happiness, and cognition when paid to do so. Views my own unless they're wrong

Looking at my painting done by a bonobo and thinking, “I wonder if this is how the artist intended the piece to be hung.”
Grateful spring break is next week 💜🐒

I submitted mine within 3.5 years in the UK where 3-4 is the standard but it required collecting data six months into starting and data being collected remotely. No way you can skip the part where you collect your own data and I sure af wouldn’t trust AI with it, even if the data already existed
I've submitted multiple. Never once been published. They often don't even publish my comments on anti trans nyt articles. It's that repressive.
This could be your dream job!

The first week of US's war with Iran cost $6 billion, almost the same as the entire annual budget funding all scientific research via NSF
YUP, it's a terrible time to be job hunting and here I be sadly
That is a perfect description
“Didn’t you go in knowing the academic job market would be bad?”
Yeah but I was almost done with my PhD when Trump first came into office. I knew it would be bad but I didn’t know it would be fascist-dictator-destroying-the-entire-world bad
Sure but once you get the blood of your conquests on it, it's just never the same
Seeing people celebrate a wedding more than when I got my PhD certainly made me mad enough to consider the army bit but I was too tired from finishing grad school
Daylight Savings Time sucks and should be abolished.

Photo with capitol building in background, speaker and signs reading stand up for science and the assault on science will haunt this country for generations
Great speakers and signs at the Stand up for Science rally today.
#standupforscience
I rarely say this but: I think Arizona has the right idea, we need to get rid of daylight savings
I’ve seen ppl discuss how over 50% of their grants wouldn’t have been awarded @ current success rates. That’s an important reflection.
What about the cost of living and the benefits you received at the start of your career? Expectations are higher, and many schools aren’t even offering startup $
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

I really do wish people doing community-based, participatory science would call it Community Science instead of Citizen Science.

#Caturday you say? 💜🐈⬛
ICE and Border Patrol's rampant racial profiling and blatant disregard for the Constitution puts us all in danger.

Haha what can I say, with 27 chapters I think it's fair to say we were as thorough as we could be in one book
screenshot of a book on nonhuman primate welfare being accessed 50k times
There are days, particularly while job hunting, that I doubt that I've done anything meaningful in science and then there are days where I find out the book I edited has been accessed 50k times in 3 years and I feel pretty fucking good
We're in court today asking a judge to block a new Kansas law that invalidates the IDs of transgender people and allows anyone to sue a person they suspect of being trans for using public restrooms.
This law has been wreaking havoc on trans people and we're demanding an immediate end to it.
I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say “@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from
Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?
Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.
Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?
Noem: My condolences to their families
Raskin: You lied about them.
Being a visiting professor, which is academic code for 'not permanent', is maddening because some days you finish lecturing and come back to an email rejecting you for a job doing the permanent version of the job you're already doing...
You'll be having a solid day and academia will hand you a loss that just wrecks it. All I want is a permanent job and to never apply to another one again
The Yeonmi Park on Joe Rogan meme, with the face replaced by the X logo, with the caption "I heard that on Bluesky if you make a joke they report you to the police and the army and God, no-one posts anything because they are afraid, if you have an opinion they make you eat a live kitten while reciting Injustices, also your pee turns blue"
Any posts from X about Bluesky are just this
He’s is gorgeous but then I think all the snow monkeys are so I’m biased
