@noorabbas98 An awesome defense it was!!

Well my proposal defense happened today, and I am now a PhD Candidate!💡☺️ #sleepscience #dreamscience #evolution

@noorabbas98 @jayvanbavel I might live forever!

@jayvanbavel cheese intake having a positive effect on mortality made me so happy lol

A new article in Nature Medicine found that social connections were a surprisingly powerful predictor of a long life. Living with a partner was roughly as beneficial as exercise. Regular visits with family or having someone to confide in also appeared to be associated with lower mortality. Loneliness also affects mental wellbeing—another factor in longevity.

New paper out today (perfect for Valentines Day)! We report the first description of same-sex sexual behaviour in Rwenzori Angolan colobus monkeys - and find it may play a role in male social bonding in their multilevel societies. ♥️🐒 rdcu.be/e31J9

What’s better to read about on Valentine’s Day than our new paper on same-sex sex in Rwenzori colobus? ❤️❤️ Monkey love knows no bounds! can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

Applications for ASP Small Research Grant proposals are now open! The deadline for application submission is March 20, 2026. Award amounts range from $500 to $2000. We welcome proposals on primate research from wild, zoo, laboratory and sanctuary settings.

New paper from our Rwenzori colobus & Sam Stead's dissertation. We examined female glucocorticoids & found a U-shaped distribution with unit size! Females also had increase to parturition & a decrease throughout lactation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New lab paper! We ran a vervet #foraging #experiment where we created both #scramble and #contest. This evened foraging success, but experiencing more #competition still led to #risk averse #decisions, showing the importance of this variable. frontiersin.org/journals/behav…

🐒 Conservation small grant applications are due on January 15th, 2026. We are now accepting proposals up to $3,500! More information below⬇️

New paper on the #social #structure of Rwenzori #colobus multi-male, multi-female core units! We found 3 different patterns but close #male #relationships in all that were long lasting! Paper is behind a paywall but contact us if you want a pdf. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Huge moment of pride watching my first PhD student Keren Klass present her years of data showing that #genetic diversity in howlers is counterintuitively increased in a #fragmented #landscape, while #microbiome tracks diet. @UTSCresearch
