The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

🎉 New paper out in Biological Reviews! 🎉 With 19 brilliant co‑authors from the IUCN SGA's Working Group on Chimpanzee Cultures, led by Crickette Sanz and me, we provide a much needed toolkit on how animal cultures can be built into conservation. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Led by Viktoriia Radchuk, an international collaboration shows phenological shifts in response to changing temperatures allow populations to remain stable or even increase in numbers. Support from #sDiv @idiv-research.bsky.social

Bonobos and bottlenose dolphins may seem worlds apart, but together they reveal key conditions that foster cooperation beyond group boundaries

Heading into the weekend with that TFIF mbchimp style!! #soundon #TGIF #chimpanzee #moyenbafing 🧪

We started the second day of the conference with a third keynote talk by Erin Wessling, who offered us insights and promising future avenues for the conservation of non-human animal cultures. A huge thank you to @northernlimitpt.bsky.social for this inspiring presentation!

how cute is this?! Can't believe I get to see these guys already next month... 😍

Last week to apply! Don't miss this chance ✨

🤩 Fresh from the field! Our team is loving bani flower season 🏵️ – wide open views of our chimps on habituation days. We’re making big strides: some days we follow them from morning to night. So many new behaviors to discover and document!

Our team is up to amazing things! Come join us and help translate chimpanzee research into effective conservation action 🍃💪🐵

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Excited to present next year among this wonderful group!

Fascinating, instructive preprint out on Conservation of Animal Cultures from the Erin Wessling team @northernlimitpt.bsky.social : Pathways from theory to practice: Applying animal cultures to conservation: osf.io/preprints/os...

New Postdoc position! 🐵🐵🐵🐵 On the socioecology of cognition in primates, based in Paris @mnhn.fr @cnrs.fr, with field work It has it all: - the best science - the best macaques - the best beaches - the best people - the best office view #Eiffeltower Join us!

Lucky to work so closely with this superstar 🤩

Really interesting food for thought on evolutionary refugia in West Africa. Would be wonderful if behavioral ecologists smore intensively consider the role of deeper time scales in our studies and what results like those here mean for subsequent inference! biogeography.pensoft.net/article/1395...

Come join us as a Field Site Manager in the incredible MoyenBafing National Park! Deadline March 28th. Dm with any questions!

Congratulations to @northernlimitpt.bsky.social and Michael Heide on receiving the Daimler and Benz scholarships for investigating brain #organoids and #adaptations to a challenging #ecosystem in savannah #chimpanzees www.dpz.eu/en/public-en...

This looks potentially useful for #teaching: you can write & execute Python / R / Julia #code directly in a shareable document: https://colab.research.google.com/ could also be useful for research collaborations, though I'm not sure about using it with non-public data H/T @sje

🌿 Become a Field Site Manager for the Moyen Bafing Chimpanzee Project in Guinea! 🌿 We're seeking a dedicated individual to oversee operations and support research starting as early as April 2025. Be part of a team exploring chimpanzee behavioral ecology in the stunning PNMB!

Where are all the field studies? This ⬇️ important but rather depressing paper describes how conducting, & crucially initiating, field studies is becoming harder & rarer. A short 🧵 (and a call for more fieldwork) www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

Interested in research on wild chimps? A fan of ecology and the crazy diversity exhibited by these apes? Still time to apply for a funded PhD with @lirsamuni.bsky.social and me (!!) at a world class research center in Germany! 🍃🐵
