New paper out in Animal Cognition from my PhD examining whether observation of a nest - a social artefact - affects first-time nest construction in zebra finches. Summary below!

Ecstatic to have successfully passed my viva with only typo corrections! Thoroughly enjoyed discussing the last three years of hard but rewarding research with my viva committee: Dr. Amanda Seed and Dr. Jackie Chappell. A big thanks to my supervisors Dr. Lauren Guillette and Prof. Sue Healy for their support (and for the yummy bubbles)!  Enjoying well-deserved bubbles with my PhD/viva committee (L to R): Lauren Guillette, Amanda Seed, myself, Sue Healy, and Jackie Chappell.
 Thoroughly enjoyed attending and giving a keynote talk Social influences and consequences in animal construction at the Early-career Social Learning Researchers Summer Workshop in St Andrews. Great discussions were had on a range of different topics (e.g., key influences and new methodologies). Looking forward to ESLR 2019 Workshop!
Thrilled to have been invited to give a keynote talk at the annual Association for Young Social Learning Researchers (soon to be Association for Early-career Social Learning Researchers - good call!) in June 2018.  Spreading the word yet again about my research on zebra finch nest construction to my colleagues in the School of Biology at the annual postgraduate conference.  |
