PhD Opportunity! 4-year funded PhD @uniexecec.bsky.social: “From cognition to conservation: using cognitive and behavioural research to enhance animal reintroductions”. Closes: 5 June 2026. Funding: @royalsociety.org (UK/Home students only). More info & to apply: www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin... 1/
Our central complex paper with Yi Peng Toh, Theodora Loupasaki, Basil el Jundi, @eahodge.bsky.social & @ebablab.bsky.social has now emerged, like a butterfly, in it's final form. Some heavy grant-writing induced heterochrony has delayed eclosion, but...finally done.
