Just wrapped up a fantastic few days at the 58th Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology (ISAE) in Utrecht! It was an honour to present my research on exploring quality of life in domestic cats 🐈 #ISAE2025
@johannastenfelt.bsky.social presented her PhD work on the judgement bias task in the context of odour conditioning in #horses 🐴 Fantastic pitch and poster design!

#isae2025 has come to an end and what a fantastic conference it was! Already reminiscing. Our group was well represented and I’m so proud of the early career researcher I’m lucky enough to work with. Thank you all for a lovely time 🙌🏼

Leaving Utrecht after my first #ISAE — what a great experience! Amazing people, science, and even karaoke in front of a passionate crowd of animal behaviour & welfare researchers. And to top it off, my PhD student won Best Poster out of 300! 10/10, would recommend! ☺️ #ISAE2025
And congratulations to Benjamin Lecorps and Bianca Vandresen for being honoured with the @applied-ethology.bsky.social New Investigator and Equity/diversity/inclusion/accessibility awards- so well deserved to see these go to two incredible scientists and human beings #ISAE2025
Celebrating the end of a fantastic week full of treasured fellowship and excellent @applied-ethology.bsky.social science at #ISAE2025, with closing ceremonies led by the inimitable Maria José Hötzel, our new ISAE president 🥳.
First study of pig behaviour and potential welfare hazards in assembly barns presented yesterday at #ISAE2025 by Karen Thodberg. Thank you to everybody involved in this large project, especially to Cecilie Kobek-Kjeldager for taking the lead on assembly barns - papers are on the way. @au.dk
The GOAT @goatswhostare.bsky.social sharing some inspiring and fascinating insights on how to more cleverly understand the clever inner lives of livestock in opening this morning’s @applied-ethology.bsky.social #ISAE2025 session
Great to be at another ISAE, hearing fascinating talks and connecting with fellow applied ethologists #ISAE2025 #appliedethology 🐷🐭🦊🐣🐮🪰 @applied-ethology.bsky.social
Stop by our poster at #Isae2025 to join the #manypigs initiative! 🐷🐷🐷
Those not at ISAE can join our global database of pig welfare researchers here: bit.ly/manypigs
Unlike humans, hens are less likely to take risks / more fearful around puberty - Anna Rentsch. #isae2025 She suggests we should be considerate of this sensitive age for management like moving birds.
Kicked off #isae2025 @applied-ethology.bsky.social with a great talk on why we should care about insect welfare from @beebytes.bsky.social, more into protocol behaviour in pigs!
The #manypigs poster is up at #Isae2025! Stop by number 107 to hear more about us and what we want to do. 🐷🐗🐖
You can also spots us wearing the ManyPigs pins - feel free to ask anything about the initiative.
Exciting to learn about insect welfare from @beebytes.bsky.social, opening #ISAE2025 with the Wood-Gush lecture. Astounding figures and information @applied-ethology.bsky.social
And we’re off 🤩🥳

Our wonderful president Janice Siegford kicks off #ISAE2025 @applied-ethology.bsky.social: A Good Life for Animals
Looking forward to a wonderful week of science and fellowship with my favourite scientific community 🐶🐱🐰🐮🐷🐭🐥🐢🐟🐎
🚀 Kicking off the LIFT Satellite Workshop in Utrecht - just ahead of #ISAE2025! Our chair, Margit Bak Jensen, opens the day with a warm welcome and overview of the COST Action.
Looking forward to a day of productive discussions and networking!
Getting all pumped up for my plenary talk at this year's #ISAE2025! It won't reinvent the wheel, but I am certain it will entertain the crowd! 😅
The #isae2025 abstract acceptance letters are out which means; time for this year’s “AI generated appetisers” from our group!
First one up is led by @johannastenfelt.bsky.social and from project #smellslikewelfare enjoy 🙏🏻
All new and old friends in ISAE and beyond, would it be nice to meet sooner than in a year after #ISAE2025? Helsinki EVCBMAW 18.-19.9. abstract submission is open as well as registration. This is an interdiciplinary congress for ethics, law, behavioural medicine and animal welfare evcbmaw.org
Yaaaay! See you there 🥳🙌🏼

Next #ISAE2025 took the efforts of three academics and four different #ai tools in order to get something meaningful 🐷 Here’s the progress from nonsense to something cute:
