<p>We&apos;re back for a short special this January - I talk to Dr Cassandra Raby about a paper she led evaluating the first Animal Behaviour Twitter conference back in 2021. What perfect timing to discuss this, as the Animal Behaviour Society/Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour joint Twitter conference is running again this week! (18th-19th Jan) So, consider this a perfect pairing if you are planning to check out that completely free and totally online conference ! Or, if you&apos;re listening in *the future* and already followed the conference, consider having a listen to hear more in depth what the metrics say about the value and impact of this sort of conference.<br/><br/>I&apos;ll be back to regular programming soon, so stay tuned for more great science in 2023!</p><ul><li>Cass&apos; paper: <a href='https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0003347222000562?dgcid=coauthor'>An inclusive venue to discuss behavioural biology research: the first global Animal Behaviour Twitter Conference</a></li><li>Cass on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Cassie_Raby</li><li>Follow the ABS/ASAB conference using #AnimBehav2023 on Twitter.
