My first PhD chapter is officially published! 🙌 We examined the effect of age and context on multimodal communication in immature chimpanzees 🗣🤌😀. Grateful to my supervisors @zannaclay and Marina for all their support and guidance. Hopefully more papers to follow soon!

@rapha_heesen @CBehav @fkano @zannaclay 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Excited to have been awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship @CBehav to study affective mechanisms underpinning collective action in humans & #bonobos w/ @fkano. So thankful to have had enormous support from my fantastic postdoc supervisor @zannaclay & amazing colleagues🥹🙏

Our @DurhamPsych research has found that development of communication in #chimpanzees echoes that of human infants. Find out more about how our closest living relatives could help us better understand how human communication evolved 👉 fal.cn/3z99L #DUresearch

Emma Doherty from Durham University has spoken about recent research into Chimpanzee's intelligence. 🐒

Young #chimpanzees combine different gestures, vocalisations & facial expressions in a way which echoes development of communication in human infants according to new research from @DurhamPsych 🐒 👉 fal.cn/3yQEu

Cool opportunity with some cool people to gain fieldwork experience with chimpanzees! 👀

Massive congratulations to *Dr* @jakebrooker on passing his PhD viva today! Making the C4D lab very proud 👏 👏👏

Pls RT. We’ve co-drafted a letter with the Harvard Animal Law & Policy Clinic to the NIH to ask them to urgently review protocols & ethical justifications for the ongoing invasive macaque research at Harvard 1/2 Link to Google Form: forms.gle/W5wCwEQepfhNnd…

@AnnieRothNews There's a nice book called 'Nature's nether regions' by Menno Schilthuizen that's got some great examples! 👀

Revising a paper is more about spending hours and hours to find a reference to support what you know is absolutely true but you just need someone to agree with you 😂😂

WRITING ADVICE: If you’re having a hard time getting started on a project, simply start a second project, get it to a critical point, then use the original project to procrastinate work on the second now more stressful project. Repeat as needed until the universe disintegrates

When you don’t have any new data to present at the lab meeting.

This little B really does determine if it's a good day or a throw your laptop out a window day 😃🙃 #pleaseconverge

Finally giving twitter a go after a great few days @EFP_GfP2022! Feeling inspired after having the opportunity at last to have real life conversations & hear about all the amazing research happening outside the four walls of my home- office (aka kitchen table) 🙌 #EFP_GfP2022
