The Dog Lab at IISER-K has been working on the #behaviour & #ecology of #streetdogs of India for over 16 yrs. We have prepared a technical statement as a response to the recent ruling of the #SCI about the dogs. Please read and share. sites.google.com/view/doglabiis…

@gauri_maulekhi @dpradhanbjp @ugc_india A welcome change and a very necessary step! I hope further steps for including animal welfare as a subject for colleges and other HEI under NEP will soon be implemented.

Under the visionary leadership of @dpradhanbjp ji, the @ugc_india has taken a decisive step to align higher education with the constitutional mandate and the National Education Policy 2020. Animal Welfare Societies will now be part of college ecosystems — merging academic excellence with ethical responsibility. Gratitude for enabling every college to become a place where young minds learn not just facts, but empathy. This is NEP 2020 in action - humane, ethical, and future-ready. #NEP2020 #AnimalWelfare #SDGs #ConstitutionalValues @EduMinOfIndia @PMOIndia @pfaindia @PFAppf

@BridgingRainbow wow!

Everytime I think about goverment schemes on research funding and where you have to describe “Impact of research”, this thread beautifully describes how science has essentially progressed by looking at everyday phenomena before they could be translated to “human application”.

@AminAzadian Congratulations!!

📢🗣️My paper, studying dog breed differences in learning performance is out: nature.com/articles/s4159… We found that breed clades may exhibit distinct learning profiles, shaped differently by factors including age, reward responsiveness, impulsivity, and training history.

**Paid internship** opportunity at The Dog Lab!!! 5 positions available in a new project funded by ASAB, UK!!! Deadline for application: 20th August 2024 Apply now!!! 🐕🐕🐕 Scan the QR code for more details and links to apply.

@faunalytics similar line of results came from my own study on adopted Indian street dogs! We too found that Indian adopters had higher scores for attachment than western adopters (not significantly). Both groups reported very low costs and intermediate level of dog human interaction

Survey results suggest that people in India are more attached to their companion animals than people in the United States, due to a combination of philosophical views and anthropomorphism. faunalytics.org/people-in-indi…
