Meet Crinkle, an excellently named monkey and the first Barbary macaque to have their whole genome sequenced. We hope this is a big step forward in the conservation of the species: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... @shump.bsky.social @plasticprimates.bsky.social

Lazy afternoon up on the mountain

Marie Curie Fellowships are open (tinyurl.com/bdewf876) - if interested in studying how wild Barbary macaques are adjusting to human impacts (tinyurl.com/5n6hxwwz), please get in touch! We're particularly keen for someone to work with all the metagenomic data we have!

This is what happens if you interpret academic freedom to mean every belief should be platformed in academia, regardless of its scientific basis: those who misuse science to their own advantage will be given academic legitimacy. That's not going to go well
