Some dogs have an exceptional talent for learning object labels. Our new study in @SciReports finds what are the characteristics of these gifted dogs. Check the🧵 for a summary or have a look 👉🏼 rdcu.be/dtAJo

Just finished giving my first plenary conference talk, as part of the Young Research of the Year Award, at the MET conference. I am honored and deeply touched by this personal gift showing me with my dog Mitos.

Our lab has a job opening for either a full-time staff or postdoc with expertise in neurohistology. We study brain-behavior evolution in dogs, domesticated foxes, humans, and other primates. Will share app links soon but please share & DM me if interested!

I just submitted two manuscripts in 24 hours (one 1st submission, one revision). I feel like I broke some phd student record. P.s. submission portals suck.

My first elephant (and PhD) study supervised by awesome @stoegerangela1 & @NakedPrimate is out🚨! TLDR - We found that 🐘 greet by appropriately targeting visual, tactile, and acoustic gestures at their audience and by combining calls and gestures go.nature.com/3JW50Cm🧵 1/12

Love this study: ✅️Important theoretical contribution ✅️Important applied contribution ✅️New methods It helps us understand our dogs better and makes a step towards understanding the genetics of food intake (hopefully) also in humans.

Our new research finds around a quarter of all Labrador retriever dogs face a double-whammy of feeling hungry all the time and burning fewer calories due to a genetic mutation 🧬🐶 1/6 🧵cam.ac.uk/research/news/…

Happy to share our latest work with Luke Maurits and Daniel Haun in Scientific Reports. link.springer.com/article/10.103… We explored whether chimps engaged in competitive altruism in a triadic UG where two proposers could send offers to a responder who could only accept one offer

It's that time of the year: @DivIntelligence has opened the 2024 applications! I took part in the last summer institute and it was a transformative experience. PM me if you would like to hear more. disi.org

@frostbite2024 Thank you for sharing our research! It actually does not seem to be a breed specific trait. Even though most of the GWL are BCs, the ability to learn object labels is still a very rare talent that is not at all common among BCs.

Sadie says she is “freeloader”. Out of ten feedings she never first approached the snuffle mat 😂 While she doesn’t show a preference to contrafreeload, she is willing to snuffle when her tray is mostly empty! Read all about our new paper in @SciReports! link.springer.com/article/10.103…

A study in @SciReports highlights characteristics that are shared among most Gifted Word Learner dogs, including learning speed, their large vocabulary, and that they learned the names of toys spontaneously, without the explicit intent of their owners. go.nature.com/3NArs6e
