If you conduct research in behavioural biology, you may be familiar with the excellent automatic tracking software for analysing ethological videos : AnimalTA http://vchiara.eu/index.php/animalta, developed by Violette Chiara. If you use it in classrooms, would you be willing to send me a short testimonial about it? I need it to support a proposal for this software for the "open science software" prize. Thank you in advance for your help.
