Flyer advertising special collection of stories for Frontiers for Young Minds. We invite expressions of interest for a curated collection of short articles on animal behavior to be published in Frontiers for Young Minds, an open-access journal for readers ages 8–15. This international collection, developed in collaboration with the Animal Behavior Society, will introduce young readers to how scientists explain behavior using Tinbergen’s four questions. Each article will be co-authored by a researcher and an undergraduate, with an emphasis on clear, engaging communication. Articles will be ~1,500 words and designed for a broad student and classroom audience. Contributors will work with an undergraduate co-author and participate in iterative editorial development prior to submission. We anticipate selecting approximately 10–12 articles, depending on the strength and diversity of submissions.
Do you love animal behavior & want to share that joy with younger folks?
Write a short article on animal behavior for Frontiers for Young Minds (ages 8–15), co-authored with an undergrad! Part of an international ABS collection. Expression of interest due April 30.

Our students conduct an (un)project - and take us on am ethics journey through their children's books, pamphlets, posters, short films, blog posts, and even songs they record ❤️
@iflis.bsky.social's and @ljerkaostojic.bsky.social's favourite course
In the second semester, in our Ethics course, we take our students on a journey through history of science, current ethical guidelines, ethical principles in practice, research integrity, fraud, AI literacy, and diversity in science.
We are hosting our biggest event yet - and it is all about Ethics in Science!
13 and 14 January 2026 - we are starting our New Year with (research) integrity and difficult conversations 👀
