Excited to share that the second paper of my PhD is now published! Kea but not cockatoos are susceptible to a bait-and-switch magic trick. And check out that thermal imaging! ❤️‍🔥 royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article...

Our paper (with @emmasmcewen.bsky.social and Amanda Seed) on the effects of visitor presence on chimpanzees’ working memory is out. This research was supported by a @leverhulme.ac.uk Early Career Fellowship and could not have been done without the help of @edinburghzoo.bsky.social staff!

🚨 Funded PhD on ageing, social cognition & self/other differentiation! 🚨 🧠 Supervised by myself (University of St Andrews) & Prof. Louise Phillips (University of Aberdeen), the project includes EEG & eye-tracking training. 🌍 Open to UK + international students! 📅 Deadline: 15th Dec 2025

Are humans really the only rational animals? Our NEW PAPER 🎉 out in @science.org suggests otherwise! In a large collaboration led with my joint first author @hanna-schleihauf.bsky.social, we show that “Chimpanzees rationally revise their beliefs” 🧵

Very happy to share the final paper from my PhD, which examines the EEG markers of self-directed and proactive executive function in children and adults! Open access link is here, with a short thread below 👇 w/ Nic Chevalier | Out in #DevelopmentalScience onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Roasting in the sun to (closely or not) watch chimpanzee's politics at play. Another day at work with Liberius, Paul, Qafzeh, Velu, Louis, and all the others not in this picture but not far away.

PERSPECTIVE: As UK working class academics, Arbuckle et al. discuss the under-recognised challenges resulting from low #socioeconomic status backgrounds in #academia - #OpenAccess zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #EDI #DEI

Please share; My lab at @psychologyuea.bsky.social @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social is recruiting a post-doc for a cognitive neuroscience memory project. It is a 3-year post, with a proposed start date of 8th September. Application deadline is 15th of June. vacancies.uea.ac.uk/vacancies/15...

Very pleased to see our research featuring in @tesmagazine.bsky.social!

Happy to share that our study looking at the effect of the presence (vs absence) of an unfamiliar experimenter on children's executive function with @clembelletier.bsky.social, Valérie Camos and Stella Christie's lab 🇫🇷🇨🇭🇨🇳🇬🇧 rdcu.be/eakDs
