In collaboration with colleagues at ENES (Saint-Étienne, France), we have recently published a scientific paper in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), whose reference is as follows:

Massenet, Mathilde, Romane Philippe, Katarzyna Pisanski, Vincent Arnaud, Lucie Barluet de Beauchesne, Karine Reynaud, Nicolas Mathevon & David Reby. 2024. Puppy whines mediate maternal behavior in domestic dogs. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 121(22). e2316818121. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2316818121.

To my knowledge, only a dozen articles have been co-authored by UQAC researchers in this journal, which, with Nature and Science, is regarded as « the three most prestigious general-science journals » (Milojević, 2020).

In beyond the prestige related to this multidisciplinary journal, our article received international press coverage that I would like to highlight here:

• the French science magazine Sciences et avenir;
• the French newpaper Challenges;
• the Swiss newpaper Le Temps;
• the German newspaper Stuttgater Zeitung;
• the magazine Psychology Today also provides a synthesis of our paper;
• The French public channel France Culture interviewed the first author in the podcast Avec Sciences.
