The last (for now) in our #MondayMicDrop series is Dr Graham’s paper “The gestural repertoire of the wild bonobo (Pan paniscus): a mutually understood communication system”. Want to learn more about bonobo gesture 👍 👋 🤙 ? Listen here 🎧: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbfj... #WildMindsLab #STEM #science

Bonobo gestures 🤝 chimpanzee gestures. Listen 🎧 to Dr Graham’s paper, “Bonobo and chimpanzee gestures overlap extensively in meaning” for this week’s #MondayMicDrop. Link here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWIg... #WildMindsLab #STEM #science

What’s “intentional communication”, anyway? This week’s #MondayMicDrop 🎧 is Dr Graham’s paper “Scratching beneath the surface: intentionality in great ape signal production” 👍 👋 🤙. Listen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9Z6... #WildMindsLab #STEM #science

#WildMindsLab PI @nakedprimate.bsky.social (and some awesome collaborators) doing really cool research, as always. 🐵🍇🍎🍺🍷

Do I take my ADHD meds to the field? What to put in a risk assessment w dyspraxia? How do I support ND students during fieldschool? If you ever wondered what fieldwork's like as a neurodivergent ecologist, this webinar by the @britishecologicalsociety.org is for you! tinyurl.com/yckyrf4r

Starting off Monday with #Bonobo #gesture fun 👋🤙✌️! Bonobos infer gesture meaning based off the context it was given in. Listen🎧 to Dr Graham’s paper, “Context, not sequence order, affects the meaning of bonobo gestures”: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGMr... #WildMindsLab #STEM #science #MondayMicDrop

Working on a Saturday?! Wicked soundtrack it is 🫧💗💚🧙‍♀️

Day 1 of writing retreat… let’s go 💪🏼

How should we measure joint attention 👩‍👦? #mondayMicDrop “Detecting joint attention events in mother-infant dyads: Sharing looks cannot be reliably identified by naïve third-party observers” for this week’s #MondayMicDrop 🎧. Listen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqlf... #WildMindsLab #STEM #science

The end of an era - my notebook is full! Can’t wait to decorate a new one 💗

please no i've just finished watching the last of us 😰🍄

Ever wondered how the environment affects gesture use in great apes? @kirstyegraham.bsky.social narrates “A socio-ecological perspective on the gestural communication of great ape species, individuals, and social units” #MondayMicDrop 🎧 www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuDz... #WildMindsLab #STEM #science

#MondayMicDrop 🎧! Did you know we already “speak chimp”? Humans understand common non-human ape gestures. Kirsty narrates their paper, “Towards a great ape dictionary: Inexperienced humans understand common nonhuman ape gestures”. Listen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2GU... #WildMindsLab #STEM #science

Pro of being Charlotte: I find everything interesting. Con of being Charlotte: I find everything interesting.

Washing up to do? Bored on your commute home? Why don’t you give audio papers a try 🎧? For this weeks’ #MondayMicDrop, Dr Graham narrates their paper “The origin of great ape gestural forms” , check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ckf... #WildMindsLab #STEM #science

Evening stomps 🌄

😍😍😍

Spending the week in Glencoe on the #WildMindsLab retreat. Not a bad place to get some writing done 🤓

Monday again already 🎧?! This week’s #MondayMicDrop is 🥁🥁🥁 *drum roll please* 🥁🥁🥁 Eleuteri et al’s paper, “The form and function of chimpanzee buttress drumming”. Dr Henderson narrates the paper here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF3R... #WildMindsLab #STEM #science

🗣️ Parlez-vous français? Good news — our #WildMindsLab papers are available in French too! Link to our website 🦍🐵🧒 (and translations): www.wildminds.ac.uk/our-publicat... #STEM #science

Back with another audio paper 🎧! Interested in gestures humans share with chimpanzees? Dr Matt Henderson narrates Patel-Grosz et al’s paper, “Primate origins of discourse-managing gestures- the case of hand fling” 🦾 Listen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQRl... #WildMindsLab #MondayMicDrop #STEM #science

Wild minds lab lab is away for a sleepover with the lab PI. Hoping he is a good boy and earns me as many brownie points as possible 🤞🤞🤞

📣 Calling all audio-book friends 🎧! Fancy a break from reading about dragons 🐉, crime 🕵️‍♂️, or true love ❤️? Did you know we offer audio versions of some of our papers 👩‍🔬 🐒 ? Over the next few months, I’ll be sharing them here! #WildMindsLab #MondayMicDrop #STEM #science

Ever get the FEAR when someone asks "what do you study?" #STEM #science

Charlotte: Hey Cat, we should start sharing more of our #WildMindsLab awesome science on Bluesky. Cat: Great idea! Go ahead! Charlotte for the last hour, trying to write something engaging, cool and fun:

Our (@maelmleroux.bsky.social et al.) paper out today in #RSOS: we tested the ability of bonobos to process 'non-adjacent dependencies'. Surprisingly, unlike our prior work on chimps and marmosets, we found no evidence that they did so... royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

🥳🍾🎈🎉

Please take a moment out of your day to marvel at the elegance, agility and effortless natural grace of the penguin.
