¿Recuerdas dónde está el restaurante donde comiste el año pasado? Responder a ello implica utilizar algo muy humano: la memoria episódica. Pero ¿es posible que los chimpancés tengan una capacidad parecida? En este paper lo ponemos a prueba, 🐵🧵va: nature.com/articles/s4200…

📢Hot off the press! Thrilled to see this paper published, led by @sanchezmegias_ ! 🙈 Check it out to learn about the role of ecology and culture in savanna chimpanzee foraging strategies. And don't miss the videos uploaded as supplementary material!😉 nature.com/articles/s4159…

Announced by the ERC today (really bad news for science!!! It starts in Europe but will affect everybody) Because the REVIEWING LOAD is so bad, if your application fails you may need to wait mulitple years (>3?!?) until you can submit again! The ERC is the lifeline of the leading labs in Europe, so many research programs will be terminated (just no other sources to compensate). The letter from the ERC says “the only way is to reduce applications” (highlighted in the picture below) No!!! It's the wrong direction. Use AI to assist review. It’s not perfect (yet), but it allows more proposals to be evaluated, and it could support, not replace, human reviewers.
