EXCLUSIVE AUTHOR: JENNA RIEDI | PUBLISHED: MAY 25, 2022 Photo by devn on Unsplash Faunalytics is hosting a remote symposium for animal advocates on September 8, 2022 starting at 12pm EST. Academics and scientists from the social and behavioral sciences and related disciplines have submitted presentation abstracts of original research that discuss the real-life implications and recommendations for animal advocates in four key areas: farmed animals, companion animals, wild animals, and animals used in science.  During our remote symposium, researchers will present their work orally in a 10-minute presentation, followed by a 2-minute Q&A. Breakout rooms will be available after each presentation to continue discussions. We also will have a 30 minute panel discussion from leading experts on diet change and consumer behaviors, and posters from researchers will be showcased below during the event. The symposium will end with networking sessions for Black, Indigenous, and People of the Global Majority (BIPGM) and LGBTQ+ advocates. Register today for this free, informative symposium!
