Does anyone here use or have used EthoVision XT, and could possibly share some sample data with me? I'm making functions for importing movement data into R, and EthoVision XT is one tool that I have yet to cover, but I need some data to help me on! #animalbehaviour

@DoomsdaysCW protests became a larger movement and these people are still active.
It's a pity that this FB-text is not correct on so many levels (therefore I suspect AI) because the reality is much more fascinating: Like Jane Goodall, this scientist of #WomenInSTEM resisted institutional sexism and everyday chauvinism. In October 2000, Kossak was awarded the Golden Cross of Merit of Poland.
