Congratulations to Mingtong Li on a successful PhD viva! Her work, supervised by Dr. Suzanne Aussems and Prof. Sotaro Kita, examined how iconic temporal modulations in gesture and speech help learners interpret new verbs across development and what this reveals about iconicity comprehension.

At last week's @primatesocietygb.bsky.social conference it was discussed at length how we need to be supporting the local communities and helping where we can and only a few days later @dranipermana.bsky.social is trying to do just that! Please share or get in touch with her to see how you can help.

Our new paper is out! Orangutan long calls are strongly isochronous, yet surprisingly they can also shift into double-meter patterns — a small but intriguing clue to the roots of musical rhythm. doi.org/10.1016/j.is...

Thank you bringing your knowledge, enthusiasm, and hope to this year's Winter Meeting at National Museum Cardiff. We hope to see you all next year!

Excited to be in Cardiff for the #PSGB winter conference where I’ll be presenting a poster on one of my PhD chapters! 🦍🦧

Excited to share my first PhD article, published in Scientific Data 👉 rdcu.be/eIRqD We present the Shared Book Reading Corpus: 44 caregiver-infant dyads, 3 camera views (headcams + overview), speech transcriptions & developmental measures. Access on Databrary for discovery & reuse! ✨ #OpenScience

#Primates We’ve lost one of our pioneers

I’ll be presenting a poster from my PhD study at LCICD today! Feel free to stop by to read all about it!

Thrilled to be back at my undergraduate home for the LCICD. Looking forward to an interesting few days learning about the latest in developmental research! @lancasteruni.bsky.social @lcicd.bsky.social

Overjoyed to say that yesterday I successfully defended my thesis and am officially a Dr🎓🦧 A massive thank you to @gambichiara.bsky.social and Marina Davila-Ross for being my examiners and making the experience so enjoyable. And to @warwickpsych.bsky.social for being such a supportive department!

Cool methods! Thermal imagining to capture changes in blood flow and gaze direction #ApeTank #LLGAwayDay @warwickpsych.bsky.social

We continue the comparative theme with Luke Duncan on sound perception in great apes and the division of labour between vowels sad consonants #ApeTank #LLGAwayDay @warwickpsych.bsky.social

Here is what 2 years of fieldwork looks like! 🙌 also 👏 to Ani’s husband for taking on the lead acting role in the project and posing as a 🐅😮

Our new paper is out! We found #orangutans develop #nest-building skills through observational #sociallearning, #selectiveattention to“know-how” and transmission of“know-what” information. 🦧🦧🦧🦧 #academicsky #primates #science #biologicalscience #warwickpsych 🦧🦧🦧🦧 link.springer.com/content/pdf/...

And @eddonnellan.bsky.social takes us to the end of the first session with a whistle-stop tour of all things prediction error! #LLGAwayDay @warwickpsych.bsky.social

Next up @teruniahamat.bsky.social presenting preliminary data from her brand new corpus of shared book reading in 13-14 mo! @warwickpsych.bsky.social #LLGAwayDay

Next up is @cyberming.bsky.social with her work on iconic gesture speed @warwickpsych.bsky.social #LLGAwayDay

Today is a very exciting day, full of research talks by postgrads, postdocs, and faculty working on the topic of language across the University of Warwick #LLGAwayDay @warwickpsych.bsky.social

A great time at @pintofscience.uk last night watching @dranipermana.bsky.social teach us all about orangutan nest building and then expertly judge our own nests! Turns out I need to spend a bit more time in the forest to get the hang of it.

Out today in Ann NY Acad Sci: orangutans show third-order rhythmic nesting in alarm calls—like music, rhythms within rhythms within rhythms. They adjust tempo and rhythm by threat type: faster for credible threats 🐯, slower for less credible alarms 🔵. doi.org/10.1111/nyas...

Published today! Here we show how social life shapes musical timing in a duetting monkey... and how hard is singing while parenting! 🙈 🎶 doi.org/10.1098/rspb... @marcogamba.bsky.social
