Had a wonderful time at my first ever @primatesocietygb.bsky.social Winter Meeting in Cardiff. It was so fun to present my first findings from our fieldwork earlier this year 🐵🇬🇦 Co-authors @perrinetheroude.bsky.social @gillyforrester.bsky.social and the Lekedi park team!

Good morning! I am @mariannepaisley.bsky.social , your new Student Officer. So excited to meet you all at this week's Winter Meeting! 🐵

A heartfelt pant-hoot farewell to dearly departed Jane Goodall, from all of us at PSGB. Thank you Richard Wrangham for your moving Memorial Talk, guiding us through her life and legacy ❤️

So fun to present my research to two classes of @tulaneu.bsky.social students about my journey into primatology and my current research using thermal camera to understand stress in great apes 📸🐵 Thank you so much to my dear friend @nickchapoy.bsky.social for inviting me!

The Women of Color in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology community (WOCinEEB; non-binary inclusive) is doing another round of matching for one-on-one mentorship! You can sign up here: forms.gle/Cfk3Y5CZksSS... I'm also happy to answer any questions! #Mentorship #Ecology #EvolutionaryBiology

This piece just posted by Vic Gill on BBC News - look out for my team doing interviews across national and regional BBC radio today! University of Sussex University of Sussex School of Psychology Perrine Théroude Marianne Paisley www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

That's us! 🎥 It was so cool to be able to chat with @bbcvic.bsky.social about our new work on the "nasal dip" - how nose temperature drops in response to stress. So proud of our team! @perrinetheroude.bsky.social @gillyforrester.bsky.social ➡️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I couldn't be more proud of PhD students @mariannepaisley.bsky.social @perrinetheroude.bsky.social who just returned from 4 months of fieldwork in Gabon. Their research aims to help us understand stress in great apes. University of Sussex 🦍 🦧 🐵 #primate #stress #wellbeing #gorilla #chimpanzee

🧠 Sex is often treated as a binary in #neuroscience, #psychology & #psychiatry, but this oversimplifies the realities of sex & gender - their impact on the brain. Our guidelines provide recommendations for rethinking how sex & gender are analysed. Webinar on this topic coming soon! 📖 loom.ly/VqIa8zw

Some scenes from yesterday... a baby impala was born, we collected our first test data with our chimp friends and we ended the day with a beautiful sunset #Gabon #primate #research #stress #wellbeing #thermography #conservation @sussexuni.bsky.social

Fieldwork in #Gabon is progressing well -with PhD students Marianne and Perrine successfully collecting thermal facial readings from the sanctuary toddlers using video stimuli. The research aims to aid re-wilding #conservation #research #stress #wellbeing #primate #chimpanzee @sussexuni.bsky.social

Just one of the most incredible wildlife encounters I will probably have in my life 😭 with @perrinetheroude.bsky.social What a special night, my job is the best! #fieldwork #Gabon #ParcdelaLekedi

Movie night for the chimps at Lekedi! 🍿🐵 #fieldwork We're using our emotive video stimuli to understand how it affects changes in facial blood flow #thermalimaging Excited to see what we find! #wellbeing #research #uniofsussex @perrinetheroude.bsky.social 📸 @gillyforrester.bsky.social

What can psychology offer biodiversity protection? The new field of conservation psychology offers valuable lessons for protecting the world’s wildlife — as well as ourselves. Read the latest from @the-revelator.bsky.social ➡️ biodiv.us/42HtLwD

Back at Lekedi! It has been wonderful to explore the park again. Very surreal, but it feels like home 🦍🌴🐃 @sussexuni.bsky.social #fieldwork

We've now travelled from Liberville to Franceville over magical mosaic landscapes -then by road through unparalleled beauty to reach our research destination in one of the most biodiverse places on the planet #Gabon #primates #research #stress #wellbeing #thermography @sussexuni.bsky.social

A pit stop in Liberville Gabon ahead of more travel tomorrow. #primates #research #stress #wellbeing @sussexuni.bsky.social

First father-daughter half marathon ✅ 🏃🏃‍♀️ Spent this last Sunday running around the muddy & icy hills and fields of Winchester and I loved *almost* every minute. This was technically my new year's resolution for 2024...but this counts, right?

If you hate statistics like I do, then you'll love my free lectures. Putting science before statistics, 20 lectures from basics of inference & causal modeling to multilevel models & dynamic state space models. It's all free, made with love and sympathy. 🧪 #stats www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

And that's a wrap on my first human study! ✅ I am so grateful for these three, absolute dream team! We've been spending the last few weeks attempting to stress humans out, and seeing how it looks on our thermal camera 📸Verrry curious to see the results, but for now, we celebrate! 🍻

Happy #WorldMonkeyDay 🐒 Picture taken from my first experience of fieldwork with Projet Mandrillus (2011-2022)🇬🇦 At the time, this was the group's alpha male, no surprise why! Excited to be heading back to this park in a few weeks, this time to spend some time with the gorillas and chimps 🦍
