Unraveling the complexity of #AnimalCommunication with @ShannonDigweed! It was found Eurasian red squirrels utilize visual & auditory signals, shedding light on multimodal communication in social interactions & predator encounters. 🐿️🌲 #MultimodalCommunication #CO3_2024

Dear haters,
A common smear campaign tactic is to suggest peer-reviewed grant funding from independent public sources (CIHR, NIH, etc) makes us "shills", "gov puppets," and "propagandists."
Researchers need funding. Grant system FAR from perfect, but where do YOU think we should get resources for our work? What would be a better system?
BTW, I have never (in 30 yrs +) accepted industry funding for our research and, in Canada, researchers do not personally get a dime. The funds support students, research costs, etc.
Please recognize that the goal of these smear campaigns is to create distrust to make room for the spread and embrace of misinformation.
🙏

In Alberta, an IUD costs $500.
The pill costs $10,000 over a lifetime.
And vasectomies are free.
Personally, I don’t think that’s fair. albertandp.ca/free-prescript…
