Here's a site for kids to program them to become "the next generation of laboratory animal science professionals." the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science Foundation. Also, it's a great way to get girls interested in science! It's sponsored by (surprise!) And where did I find this lovely site?

This non-technical book is a development from a series of lectures, tried and tested in numerous adult education courses given to non-specialists. Those bears live in the wild and are not used to humans. Attempting to bluff the bear in believing that they were even bigger bears, Hoshino suggested raising their hands, to appear taller.

Written in a friendly, inclusive style quietly grounded in science, How to Know the Birds is an excellent addition to the growing list of birding essay books by talented birder/writers like Pete Dunne and Kenn Kaufman. Ted is also a birding friend of mine (it’s a small birding community), though we’ve never met face-to-face.

Finding that decades of consumer education hasn’t slowed meat-industry growth or ecodestruction and that universities powerfully influence what people eat, RPA has been demanding that the colleges of agriculture at our LGUs stop forking over billions of dollars worth of training, research, and public relations to the meat industry.

The citizen science aspect is a big hit with many users, and eBirding areas with little existing data can be fun as well. Whether one ranks as #2 or #20,000 in the Global Birder Ranking System, there is always room for education and improvement, so why not dive in? The answer is basic…do some reading and go look at some ibis.

For those who didn't read the five-part Slate series " Pepper, the stolen dog who changed American science " by Daniel Engber , I recommend it for the history, but also for the misconceptions and assumptions that you might want to discuss on the Facebook discussion about the series. It "guarantees humane treatment?" Maybe on paper.

Many people of no great education and of no prestigious social position certainly belong to my envisaged moral elite. Smart , "Ethics and Science," Philosophy 56 [October 1981]: 449-65, at 453 [italics in original]) I hope I do not need to stress that such a moral elite must not be confused with a social or intellectual elite.

Farm animals also benefit from the humane farming movement, even if the animal welfare changes it effects are not all that we should hope and work for. Go vegan, go vegetarian, go humane or just eat less meat. If we all decide to consider animals as precious as humans, the only logical place for us is back in the jungle.

If you have always wondered what the minimum anesthetic concentration for isoflurane and sevoflurane for the Crested Serpent-eagle is, science has an answer. Apparently, some bird photographers think that any human artifacts shown on a bird photo immediately spoil the whole photo. Glad I did not have to watch these.

Hunting sandhill cranes in the Eastern flyway will put those 100 whooping cranes at even greater risk of being brought down by gunfire, hunter education courses and handy color brochures notwithstanding. All of them had successfully learned the skills we taught them to forage in “safe&# areas and avoid humans. Quick: what’s this?

It seems that like me, Oriental Storks are not that fond of humans. A study found that in areas with intense human activity, their nests were higher, while in safer environments, the nests were lower and closer to food resources, allowing parent storks to invest more in the nestlings. Well, they are birds, not humans.

It is mostly a question of economics – raising just one is troublesome enough given the resources required to feed and educate the chick. Chongming Dongtan, where these photos were taken, is the wintering location of about 100 Hooded Cranes – about 1% of the global population. Fortunately, they are quite common in Shanghai.

We give them human names and provide them with the same amenities we enjoy as humans. Finally, Scott writes that "we have the responsibility to set aside emotion as much as possible and make rational, science-based decisions on policy in an effort to balance the concerns of all involved.". What's all this about emotion, anyway?
