My incredible supervisor got a medal for her work in Congo with bonobos

Jane Goodall's first NatGeo article (1963), a birthday present from Daniil Rudenko during my first African field work, helped me believe that one day my life among wild bonobos could also be worth telling about. I am grateful Jane has existed and has changed the world for so many of us primates.

Talked about bonobos at @behaviour2025.bsky.social in Kolkata. Thanks to the organizers and all the brave people who made it to the sessions on the last conference day after a rather fun Gala dinner...
