📷 Today at 9pm ET/PT is the US premiere of the @novapbs documentary "Can Dogs Talk?". It covers the project @CCLABUCSD has been running with thousands of button trained dogs. It is a true honor to be on NOVA and we hope you will find it engaging: pbs.org/wgbh/nova/vide…

A brief extract from a fun livestream with awesome colleagues hosted by @valuskaa84, organized by @TempletonWorld and @Purina. Let's give non-human animals a real chance to show us how intelligent they are. We can only benefit from engaging with nature with an open mind.

Do you ever wish you could have a conversation with your pet, or the bird outside your window? This hour, we learn about how animals communicate with one another, how we communicate with them, and what this can teach us about human language with @arikkershenbaum. Plus, how pets communicate with soundboards with @RossanoFederico. Listen anytime, wherever you get your podcasts. ctpublic.org/show/the-colin…

A few days ago I was asked by @kncukier "whether language is a cognitive ability that’s unique to humans, or just one of many modes of communication dotted across the tree of life". You can hear the conversation that followed here. Stay tuned for the second episode.
