Working on my presentation for the @ecbb2026.bsky.social Who is coming? (A little spoiler with the title) #animalbehaviour #cambridge #ECBB #angliaruskinuniversity
Still 30minutes left to talk about reptiles with me at @isbe2026.bsky.social @evocroproject.bsky.social
Time to listen some talks and later today: poster session! #ISBE2026 DAY 2
In case today, a crocodile hasn't appeared on your home page yet:
Testing my new camera with the best subjects (in these pics: OldStone, Alfonso, Cypress, Rita Farr and Obi-wan) #crocodiles #EvOCRO
8ys together, my little devil You're getting whiter, I'm dyeing my first white locks (just kidding, I just need to be red) Just a couple more months and I'll be able to hug u again...I haven't seen you since September '25, but this job might build a peaceful and adventurous future for both of us 🥰
Writing what the croc Nikola must do next #animalcognition #crocodiles #animalbehaviour @evocroproject.bsky.social
What do you mean that I have only 2 months left in here?q
I don't know about you, but I still need to visualise things first on paper and then on screen Poster in Progress
These beauties are waiting for me at home!! A few more months before being able to use them #ArtemisII
Gracias a Francisco Luna por la invitación Café Científico @ Menta (Campeche) hablando un poquito de @evocroproject.bsky.social

This is devastating news I am still in shock...all the Trimates are now gone RIP Dr Galdikas 💔
Today, an honeybee decided to hit my ear Last month I got stung by three of them in lass than 30 minutes Do you know how many you need before starting to become allergic? 😅😅 #fieldwork
thinking that only three months ago I was afraid of handling these amazing animals, while now I take the 70cm ones in my hands without fear @evocroproject.bsky.social #crocodiles #animalbehaviour #animalcognition
In the last decade, I was lucky to study, work and travel abroad. I still do and it's a dream, yet, it isn't always easy when you are away from family and friends when it comes to birthdays. Today, I celebrate my 37th year on Earth, doing a job I love and, thankfully, internet makes people closer. 😊
it has been a couple of months since I had a break, and this weekend I went to Merida and visited my dear friend Citlalli that I haven't seen since 2018!! but some friendships never die...and we went to the theatre to see my Mexican idols (that we met later outside)
Today is #DarwinDay And is there a better way to celebrate than spending the day working with animals? @evocroproject.bsky.social #AnimalCognition #AnimalBehaviour #Reptiles #Crocodiles
It had been a long time since I last talked about science with a general audience, and I can confirm it’s still one of the things I love the most. A special thanks to HADE Centro Cultural for the warm welcome, and Francisco Luna for the organisation #CafeConCiencia @evocroproject.bsky.social
