This is a wonderful opportunity to join a fantastic research group in a great city
🚨 Our new paper is out!! A call for CARE in animal behaviour: an holistic ethical research framework 🐾💚 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Are humans really the only rational animals? Our NEW PAPER 🎉 out in @science.org suggests otherwise! In a large collaboration led with my joint first author @hanna-schleihauf.bsky.social, we show that “Chimpanzees rationally revise their beliefs” 🧵
It’s full speed ahead with Science Adventures Today! So great to see so many little future scientists! #scienceengagement #childdevelopment @newcastleuni.bsky.social
In 2010, when I was an undergraduate student, Jane Goodall visited the primate center in Rome. She met all the students and our little capuchin monkey, Totò. She was kind, humble, strong, and truly inspiring. It was a special moment I will never forget.

Flyer for Open Methods in Comparative Cognition Research webinar
Looking forward to discussing open methods in comparative cognition, including the challenge of 'species fair' task design as part of the ManyManys webinar series 🤩

Last but not least! today we share the talk of Christine Caldwell as plenary speaker at @ehbea2025.bsky.social
Here she talks about the cognitive challenges for cumulative cultural evolution and how these abilities were selected 🧠
Don’t miss it! 👇

🔔 New paper out on Social evaluation of skill and competence in primates
@mariehirel.bsky.social, @williamohearn.bsky.social and @julxf.bsky.social made this happen
www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Congrats to our (co-supervised with @sophiadaoudi.bsky.social and Bess Price) MRes students who presented their research project at the Poster event at @newcastleuni.bsky.social Their project explored long-term social integration and cohesion in a captive chimpanzees community. More to come!
We have a new paper out in @cp-iscience.bsky.social reporting that more socially integrated female chimpanzees have lower offspring mortality 🧪 #evosky #primates #primatology #anthropology www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
2025. #DEI. When do girls fall behind in maths? Gigantic study (France) pinpoints the moment. Analysis of almost three million children captures when ‘mathematical gender gap’ first emerges and could help focus efforts to stop girls from falling behind. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Humans have many unusual traditions. But did you know animals’ strange behaviors can become culture too? Out now in Current Biology (doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...) we show the rise and spread of a surprising tradition: interspecies infant abduction. Interactive timeline (www.ab.mpg.de/671374) 🧵 (1/12)
Wanted to share a handy little resource with you all (especially those in dev psych) — my lab & I made a "journal submission cheat sheet" that summarizes article types, word limits, & other requirements for the journals we typically submit to. Link below 👇🏼

It's always a great pleasure to chat with @thedissenteryt.bsky.social ...here is our latest conversation
Check out our new paper on #drinking #tools in wild #chimpanzees! We looked at the contexts where the Kanyawara chimpanzees use tools to drink in a project started by Charlie MacKenzie as an undergraduate with senior author @zeppypearl.bsky.social, along with @kris-sabbi.bsky.social & many others!
Loved being part of the team that put this together! Thanks for the lovely words and to everyone who made it happen!
Thanks, more to come from this project, stay tuned 😊
Great start of the conference!
Great start to #EHBEA2025 with our preconference panel on Big Team Science!
Big thanks to @thorabjorns.bsky.social, @shona-d.bsky.social, Harry Clelland, @amrotella.bsky.social, and our fantastic host @francescadp.bsky.social!
Great discussion & insights about managing big teams in science 👏 👍
Quote: " In sum, leader-directed teaching of opaque cooperative norms would be a mutually beneficial strategy, where the costs incurred by influential teachers are, at least partly, outweighed by the long-term benefits of cultivating cooperation within the group."
Mosaic plot illustrating the relationship between evidence for teaching and non-teaching social learning, based on a binary researcher-coded measure of teaching. "Although instrumental cultural transmission frequently occurs through both teaching and non-teaching social learning, opaque cultural information is predominantly transmitted through teaching, with relatively fewer instances of non-teaching social learning."
With @sheinalew.bsky.social: Teaching is associated with the transmission of opaque culture and leadership across 23 egalitarian hunter-gatherer societies, in @naturecomms.bsky.social

I am open to hosting MSCA postdoc fellowship applicants! marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/calls/msca-p...
We indeed had a fantastic time and was wonderful to see children so engaged with our research 🐵
Urgent dilemma! We need your opinion 😊
🚨 Exciting announcement for #EHBEA2025🚨
We will have a FREE pre-conference panel on Big Team Science! Curious about Big Team Science? 🤔
How initiatives like ManyLabs, ManyPrimates, and ManyBabies come together? This panel aims to demystify large-scale collaborations!

I am excited to announce that @neeltjeboogert.bsky.social and I are co-editing a special collection in the journal Animal Cognition on "Cognition in the Wild". Submissions are due by June 15. We are excited to see the amazing work you have been doing! link.springer.com/collections/...
