Pablo Vidal-Franco receives the 2025 Early Career Scientist Award winners for the Journal of Veterinary Behavior! The award was granted for his “remarkable and detailed paper about 2-dimensional vocal space in cats when they are isolated”, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jveb.2025.04.009. As the Editor-in-Chief notes the paper supports “the mandate of the Journal of Veterinary Behavior to provide a home for the best science in veterinary behavioral medicine and veterinary behavior in a way that promotes our understanding of the species we study and their welfare”. Congratulations!
