Is there anything you could do about it, even in a distinct way? If not that's actually a good decision, being in constant fear of losing your job may not be the best.

A sympathetic audience is everything: it is the difference between experiencing a moment of profound and terrifying conviction of the presence of real diabolical power, and a bunch of drunk frat boys laughing at guys in Halloween costumes and raccoon makeup.

i'm one of the two project managers at the company so I definitely have some kind of impact, but at the end of the day i have very limited effect on cash flow since we already run a lean operation. it mostly comes down to the whims of government agency accounting departments and the poor financial decisions made years before i joined the company

scientists are still at the "dogs have limited facial expression" stage but i think it'll turn out that dog-to-dog communication actually involves a huge range of subtle expressions, they're too good at terrorising humans (not even the same species!) with their eyes alone

part of my dream job is going to be gently convincing scientists that animals aren't just automated bits of code that only spawn in the presence of humans and otherwise don't exist, much less think and act independently. it's one thing to know the biological functions of an animal inside-out, but stemfolk really struggle to empathise enough to see things from the perspective of an actual tortoise/eagle/kangaroo, which is what you must do when you're trying to design conservation works

That sucks, I guess clean up your cv just in case and see where this goes. It's sad to see stuff falling down like that long after the decisions were made, but if you can't help it, it might be better to not get involved as long as you can.

Also, amazing puppies.

I don't know much about conservation/ecology research, but research psychologists who do animal work generally are rewarded for showing things animals CAN do. They're also almost all "animal people", with the good and the bad that implies... even the first strong critic of animal languages, Herb Terrace, started off his career dreaming he could teach chimps to pass more symbolic language on through generations, farm, develop culture beyond potato-washing etc.

They do of course get analytical-at-the-risk-of-reductive, but that's less a moral choice and more because it's research and they want to be rigorous.

Just hanging out in the garage naked in the middle of winter. I assume they were just in the hot tub and using the garage as a cool down place, not expecting one of their friends to show up and open the garage door. Either that or they were high on some real good weed/drunk out of their minds. Either way, weird and hopefully the last time it happens.
