SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/20/21 - How Cognitive Biases Interfere with How We Acquire Knowledge - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:CEUs: PPAB 1\, CCPDT 1\, IAABC 1\, KPA 1 \nGiven how behaviorists\, ethologists\, neuroscientists and veterinarians often get into conflict\, this talk discusses how our cognitive biases impact knowledge acquisition. Cognitive biases makes us reject information that we should accept\, and accept information that we should reject. In this talk\, the presenter will discuss a handful of them: \n\nThe curse of knowledge.\nAuthority bias.\nThe illusory truth effect.\nThe availability cascade.\nTribal epistemology.\nConfirmation bias.\nThe Semmelweiss effect. The backfire effect.\nReactance.\nThe Dunning-Kruger effect.\n\nThe aim of this session is to open attendees’ minds more to how biases come about and how problematic this is – and facilitate those difficult discussions with people who have other backgrounds. \nLevel of difficulty: Beginner – Intermediate (not difficult concepts but to many people a lot of new terms\, maybe) \nAbout Your Presenter \nProf. Karolina Westlund helps pet parents and animal professionals attain happier animals that thrive in the care of humans. She grew up pining for a kitten and pestered her parents until they finally gave in. The resulting black\, green-eyed\, half-Siamese cat she got for her seventh birthday became a true friend who lived to be 21 years old but was an easily startled cat who often went into hiding when there were visitors. She had grand ideas about becoming a field biologist\, but instead she majored in ethology and developed a passionate interest in animal welfare as seen through a multidisciplinary lens\, including behaviour analysis and affective neuroscience. She is now an associate professor of ethology at the University of Stockholm\, Sweden where she mainly teaches about how behavior management can be used to improve animal welfare. She also conducts live seminars\, free online webinars and masterclasses in addition to more extensive courses\, as well as the occasional scientific publication on the topic of enrichment\, animal training and well-being. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://petprofessionalguild.com/event-4300656

During her residency\, she received the Resident Research Award from the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists (ACVB) two years in a row. \nDr. Radosta lectures nationally and internationally for veterinary professionals and pet owners and is the author of a number of textbook chapters and scientific research articles\, She also co-authored “From Fearful to Fear Free: A Positive Program to Free Your Dog from Anxiety\, Fears\, and Phobias” with Dr. Marty Becker\, Mikkel Becker\, and Wailani Sung. \nShe is the section editor for Advances in Small Animal Medicine and Surgery and served on the 2015 AAHA Canine and Feline Behavior Management Guidelines Task Force. \nThis webinar is brought to you by our friends at Zoetis Petcare. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_BsVQDlTjTLuw0PS0t20_nw

SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/28/21 - Solving Problems with Bears and Cougars - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Sightings of and conflicts with bears and cougars are becoming more and more common in urban and suburban areas across the U.S. Responding to the public’s concerns about these wild neighbors can be especially difficult\, given the greater potential for dangerous encounters between these predators and people. This webinar will provide an overview on the biology and ecology of these animals\, how to make yards and neighborhoods less attractive to them\, how to reduce conflicts with people and pets\, which situations necessitate a response\, and how to handle problems if they arise. \nPresenter: \nAs Director of Humane Wildlife Conflict Resolution for The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS)\, Lynsey White helps urban and suburban communities find effective and humane solutions to conflicts with species such as coyotes\, Canada geese\, white-tailed deer\, and beavers. She also runs the Wild Neighbors program\, which provides animal care and control professionals with resources\, trainings\, and consultation in the adoption of humane policies and practices for responding to calls about wildlife. Her background includes completing coyote research and data analysis for The Cook County Coyote project in Chicago\, Illinois\, and publishing an analysis of coyote attacks on people throughout the U.S. and Canada. Lynsey has a Master of Science degree in Conservation Biology & Sustainable Development and a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology and has led wildlife conflict resolution trainings for thousands of animal care and control professionals across the U.S. and beyond. \nWEBSITE LINK: https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/solving-problems-with-bears-and-cougars/
