Hot off the press! The 2nd publication of the year from the #DogLab. Congratulations Tuhin and team! We asked: do juvenile and adult #streetdogs handle lemony food the same way? Find out here. zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Our book STREET DOGS is now "in press" with U Chicago Press, just a year to go for it to hit the stalls! Look out for it in April 2007! It's been amazing working with Lee Dugatkin.

I am very happy and honoured to join the Council of the International Council of Ethologists #ICE, an organization with a long history and celebrated ethologists as members. www.ethologycouncil.org?page_id=22

Congratulations Tuhin for the ABS grant award! #peoudmentor #phd #doglab
