“Applying Ethology”
The Animal Welfare Slack Workspace hosts Applying Ethology webinars twice per month.
The aims of these webinars are:
1) Give early career scientists in the fields of animal welfare and animal behaviour an opportunity to present their research;
2) Cultivate an ongoing community of researchers who share ideas;
3) Provide a free platform for people to engage in scientific discussions.
