A little full-circle moment ✨🐘
Early last year year I shared part of my thesis work investigating physiological and psychological stress in horses, including the use of thermal imaging to assess eye temperature 🌡️🐴
Today was nowhere near data collection or analysis yet, just testing equipment and learning more about the process, but it’s exciting to see concepts from my thesis potentially extending into elephant welfare work in the future.
Using thermal imaging to assess the left eye (an area associated with stress responses) is such a fascinating area of research, and while there’s still a very long road ahead, every small step starts somewhere 🤍
