Ruth C. Newberry is a Professor of Ethology in the Department of Animal and Aquacultural Sciences at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. She received her PhD from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, where she investigated the social development of pigs in a semi-natural environment, the “Edinburgh Pig Park.” She conducted research on poultry behaviour and welfare at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre in Agassiz, British Columbia, Canada before moving to Washington State University in 1996, and to Norway in 2013. Ruth's research is focused on behavioural development, environmental enrichment and play behaviour. She and her students have conducted studies on a variety of species including dogs, cats, pigs, goats, chickens, turkeys, clouded leopards, grizzly bears, laboratory rats and mice. Ruth is a past President of the International Society for Applied Ethology (ISAE), and serves on various scientific advisory committees that address animal welfare issues. She is a recipient of the Poultry Science Association’s Poultry Welfare Research Award and the ISAE’s Creativity Award. Current projects include environmental enrichment for broiler chickens, positive emotions in pigs, and personality and behavioural plasticity of dogs.

Ruth C. Newberry er professor i etologi ved Institutt for husdyr- og akvakulturvitenskap ved Norges miljø- og biovitenskapelige universitet (NMBU) i Ås. Hun har ph.d.-grad fra Universitetet i Edinburgh i Skottland, der hun undersøkte sosial utvikling hos gris i et semi-naturlig miljø, «Edinburgh Pig Park». Hun har forsket på atferd og velferd hos fjærfe i Kanada, ved Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre i Agassiz, British Columbia. I 1996 flyttet hun til Washington State University, og i 2013 kom hun til Norge og NMBU. Ruths forskning dreier seg om atferdsutvikling, miljøberikelser og lekatferd. Hun har sammen med studenter forsket på en rekke ulike dyrearter, inkl. hunder, katter, geiter, høns, kalkun, treleopard, grizzlybjørn, laboratorierotter og –mus. Ruth har vært president i International Society for Applied Ethology (ISAE), den viktigste organisasjonen for husdyretologer. I tillegg har hun vært med i en rekke vitenskapelige komiteer innen dyrevelferd. Hun har mottatt to priser for sin vitenskapelige innsats: Poultry Science Association’s Poultry Welfare Research Award og ISAE’s Creativity Award. Nåværende prosjekter fokuserer på miljømessig berikelse for slaktekyllinger, positive følelser hos griser og personlighet og plasticitet i atferd hos hunder.
