TERRIBLE!! Iceland to resume whaling under stricter conditions - "no way to make harpooning whales at sea anything other than cruel and bloody, and no amount of modifications will change that." #AnimalWelfare #AnimalEthics https://phys.org/news/2023-08-iceland-resume-whaling-stricter-conditions.html

"Transformative action requires a system-based understanding."

This seems like such an obvious thing, but as we work toward a more #sustainable #FoodSystem, we forget that changing one piece of the equation affects so many others. #Biodiversity, #FoodSecurity , #rural social fabric, economics, #AnimalHealth and #AnimalWelfare .... all affected, and sometimes what is good for one is bad for another. None of us can oversee all of these effects; #interdisciplinary work is essential. 1/3

#introduction Hi there! 👋 I'm a PhD Student at the Structure and Motion Lab in Royal Veterinary College and Moazen's Lab at University College London. I’m into the fascinating world of #biomechanics and #evolution in animals. When I'm not deeply engrossed in my research, you can find me advocating for #conservation and #AnimalWelfare issues. Feel free to say hello if you share the same passion in nature and science! 🌿🎨 #phdstudent #researcher #scientist #biomechanics #evolutionarybiology
