We want to thank all our dog participants in Arizona who helped further canine science during our first round of testing. Here is a small selection of the fuzzy data points in our slowly growing dataset. Great collaboration btw the Canid Research Group & the Canine Science Collaboratory #datadogs 🧪

Reviving the woolly mammoth isn’t just unethical. It’s impossible | Adam Rutherford At a time when US scientists are under attack from their own government, the illiteracy around these elephantine fantasies is dangerous, says geneticist Adam Rutherford

Great piece by Adam Rutherford on the moral and ethical implications of the current woolly mammoth revival hype. Not to mention the colossal (pun very much intended) waste of money this "endeavor" is 🧪 🌍 🦊

One shouldn't underestimate how important preprints are for ECRs in applying for grants & jobs. However, it's very problematic that journalists report on preprints. When I declined to comment on a preprint of mine, as it had not been peer-reviewed, they said they were still going to write about it 🤷‍♀️
