Researching animal feeding is bleeding into my gaming behaviour... Was playing the fantastic CITIZEN SLEEPER 2 | OUT NOW! and I ended up spending tons of in-game currency to feed a stray cat every cycle. Does it help my gameplay? No Will I ever let my straybour go hungry? Very big no

Birding Twitter, I summon thee: Went on a walk in the Peak District yesterday and I spotted this bird. What species are they? By process of elimination I know it's not a pigeon but that's as far as I'm getting

Had an absolute blast working with Claudia Hirtenfelder to create a series of episodes. Still can't believe that I went from being a fan of The Animal Turn to contributor. I will be shamelessly spamming your feeds every week so do give it a listen! Won't be a waste of your time 🗑️

In this week's episode, we slither into the dark, subterranean lives of worms! Below the ground (or in a box under your sink), worms practice vermicomposting: they eat food waste and transform it into extremely potent fertiliser. How does this work? Is it ethical? Listen now!

Ah yes, the age-old question "Do birds smoke cigarettes?". I can already reveal that the answer is no, but in this episode we find out how an avian clean-up crew in Mexico City does use cigarette butts to fight parasites. Maybe warnings should say "Smoking kills (ticks)"?

"I really miss plastic straws" -Not a single sea turtle ever This week's episode follows the plastic and asks what problems sea turtles are truly facing (spoiler: Straws were mostly a symptom of larger plastic-related issues). Give it a listen to learn more!

I went on "fieldwork" (read: vacation) for this episode to "investigate" (read: casually notice) how macaques negotiate their belonging in Singapore through waste and how Singapore responds to their claims. Trash! Monkeys! Daring heists! Tune in this week to hear all about it!

We are happy to announce the launch of Season 7 of The Animal Turn Podcast focused on "Animals and Multispecies Health" and sponsored by Animals in Philosophy, Politics, Law and Ethics (APPLE) and the Remaking One Health (ROH) Indies Project.

The penultimate episode is out! This week is all about about radiation, mutation, and contemplation on how a disaster can be devastating to humans but simultaneously a blessing for animals. Dig in!

Very pleased to share an article on archaeological birds of prey from my PhD! We found that raptors in towns were specialised in feeding on human foods: so dependent, that their diets look completely different to those feeding on 'wild' prey today! doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.…

Feed your brain with some knowledge, entirely for free! Very very proud of the release of this book created entirely by the ECRs of The Animal Feeding Project. Every single chapter is worth a read so dig in :) Big thanks UCL Press for the smooth collaboration!
