To say I am excited is an understatement! - it’s been a dream of mine to get this far and I cannot wait to start this next part of my journey as part of @ChrisKrupenye’s new Social and Cognitve Origins Group lab at @JohnsHopkins 🎉🧠 (woo!)

A little light in dark times: I am elated to share that @LuzEnLaSelva & @TownrowLuke will be joining me, as PhD students, to launch the Social and Cognitive Origins Group @JohnsHopkins this fall. I could not have asked for a brighter, kinder, & more phenomenal pair of students!!

Bonobos are brainiacs. These apes are so smart that they appear to be able to tell when humans are missing information. And they're more than willing to point us in the right direction, according to a new paper! My latest for @sciam: scientificamerican.com/article/bonobo…

Are humans the only species that communicates when a collaborator is missing information? @TownrowLuke and I show that our closest relatives, bonobos, can track when a partner is knowledgeable or ignorant, and tailor communication accordingly @PNASNews pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

This workshop provided a unique hands-on opportunity to learn technological methods, like eye-tracking, motion tracking and thermal imaging, that are becoming increasingly important in fields testing non- and pre-verbal populations

We’re sad to share Rene, one of our chimps, passed away last week 💛 Chimp group dynamics are incredibly complex and Rene, who was 31-years-old, was part of a fight which broke out within the troop. He was a huge personality and will be missed by those who cared for him.

I am thrilled to finally share these results with the world! We found that chimps and bonobos likely remember familiar conspecifics whom they haven't seen in years -- possibly as long as 26 years. It's the longest memory ever recorded in nonhuman animals. nytimes.com/2023/12/18/sci…

Last week I gave my first presentation as part of my PhD for the PBS department @JHUArtsSciences. It was a great experience and I’m very grateful for how receptive and supportive all the faculty, post docs and PhD students were! Can’t wait to share our results hopefully soon!

For the last month I’ve had the pleasure of collecting data with the bonobos at @ApeInitiative. I want to thank the incredible team (& of course my adorable participants) who made the process so enjoyable and a great learning experience. Can’t wait to go back!🐵🧠
