Recently, I had the honour of being invited to record a podcast about my research and hedgehog conservation work.
Wild Stories is hosted by the talented and lovely Elliot Connor: lnk.bio/wildstories
Please join us here for 25 minutes of pure hedgehog nerdiness:

Det anslås, at 1 ud af 3 pindsvin dør i mødet med biler på vejene. En ny opdagelse kan dog potentielt bruges til at holde pindsvinene væk fra trafikken og dermed reducere antallet af pindsvin, der bliver kørt over. Ny #dkforsk 👉 bit.ly/4ur3uhh @drhedgehog.bsky.social
NEW: Researchers from Oxford's @wildcru.bsky.social have found that ultrasound repellers could help reduce hedgehog road deaths 🦔
The proposal is based on findings which demonstrate for the first time that hedgehogs can hear high-frequency ultrasound.
More info ⬇️
What can hedgehogs hear? 🦔
Researchers studied the ear anatomy of European hedgehogs using micro-CT scans, finding tiny middle ear bones and a cochlea perfectly shaped for detecting high-frequency sound.

Hedgehogs can hear high‑frequency ultrasound – that knowledge could help save them!

🦔 Big news for Ireland’s hedgehogs 🇮🇪
Hedgehog Conservation Ireland is officially launched!
A national movement — uniting scientists, policymakers, NGOs & citizens to build a National Hedgehog Conservation Programme.

It is such an honour 🙏
I was such a pleasure to spend the day with you 🫶🦔
@albanb.bsky.social I was hoping you could perhaps write a feature about this! 200 in-person participants from 22 countries gathering in Denmark for a conference only about hedgehogs and hedgehog conservation 🦔 Isn’t it wonderful?
Why not stay in Denmark? 🤩
Jeg håber I allesammen har lyst til at hjælpe mig med forskningen i hvornår pindsvin går i vinterhi i Danmark.
Det kan I gøre ved at udfylde dette spørgeskema:

Are our gardens safe for hedgehogs? 🦔
Robotic mowers & poisons may be doing more harm than we think.
Join Dr Sophie Rasmussen @drhedgehog.bsky.social on Nov 24 for the Hedgehog Research Virtual Symposium.

Thank you! It is very exciting. We will be offering a hybrid format this year allowing even more participants to take part.
Calling all hedgehog nerds working with hedgehog conservation! Please join me at the International Conference for Hedgehog Professionals in Copenhagen, Denmark 🦔

Fuld af taknemmelighed på pindsvinenes vegne 🫶
Årets pindsvinetælling er veloverstået 🎉
🦔 21374 pindsvin blev indrapporteret på få dage
🦔 20257 levende
🦔 1117 døde
🤓 Derudover var der 1519, der kiggede, og ikke så pindsvin
🤩 Der blev foretaget imponerende 14718 indtastninger
Tusind tak🫶
Yay! Dejligt at høre!
Husk at det også er vigtigt at registrere hvis man kigger og ikke ser pindsvin. Vi har nemlig brug for at vide hvor de er, men også hvor de ikke er. For når jeg sidder med Danmarkskortet, og skal lægge observationerne ind, så er det vigtigt at vide om de tomme felter skyldes at ingen gad at tælle.
Altså det vil jo aldrig give et præcist antal pindsvin i hele Danmark. Men hvis vi bruger samme metode år efter år, kan vi- med forbehold- forsigtigt begynde at drage konklusioner efter en årrække med dataindsamling.
Tusind tak 🫶
Man registrerer de pindsvin, man ser (om aftenen). Og hvis man ikke må være længe vågen, kan man registrere alle de trafikdræbte pindsvin, der ligger på vejene. Og er man ikke hjemme i aften, og har haft pindsvin, der kommer fast hver aften, er det også helt fint at registrere dem.
How rude of the other hedgehog 🤣🦔 They can be bullies!
I dag tæller vi Danmarks pindsvin, så vi kan få kortlagt bestanden og dokumentere, hvordan den har det!

Vi varmer op ved at live-streame mit foredrag om pindsvin. Se med fra kl. 14:30: bit.ly/pindsvin-live
Så, op på stikkerne, Danmark og tæl nogle pindsvin 🦔🫶
I am incredibly proud to share that I have been awarded a DFF Sapere Aude starting grant for my new research project entitled ”From Catastrophe to Culture: Understanding Epidemics in Ancient Mesopotamia”!
I am very proud to be featured in this video produced by University of Oxford, describing my work to save the hedgehogs through research, conservation, research communication and political influence:
