🎓It's official, PhD successfully defended! Immense gratitude to the exceptional committee members B. Alvarez, Christian Nawroth and Jordi Galbany, for their valuable insights. Shoutout to F. Amici and Muntsa Mimó for being my rocks throughout this journey. Excited for the future!

Big thanks to @sepc2023 for yet another outstanding conference! 🙌🦒 Grateful for the opportunity to share my passion for giraffes and engage in meaningful discussions with fellow academics and friends!

Exciting news! Thrilled to embark on a new academic journey as a Post-Doc at FBN Dummerstorf! From studying giraffes under the Spanish sun to diving into the world of pigs amidst the German snow🐷. Excited for the chilly challenges and scientific discoveries ahead!

Preprint out!🦓🦓 The role of fission-fusion dynamics on cognitive skills in two zebra species: researchsquare.com/article/rs-389… We tested Grevy´s zebras and Chapman´s zebras in different experiments: object permanence, short-term memory, inference and quantity discrimination.

Just returned from an amazing trip to Vienna! 🇦🇹 Had a fantastic time discussing with the folks at VMU Vienna on our pig-project. Meeting face-to-face in the Zoom era was refreshing. It's been a truly pigtastic experience! 🐷🚪

👏🏻🐐I am proud to share my first paper about “Perception of optical illusions in ungulates: insights from goats, sheep, guanacos and llamas” 🦙👀 Alina Schaffer Álvaro López Caicoya thank you so much 🫶🏻 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Ready to present on consolation in pigs at #ECBB2024 at 14:30. Come see my first immersion into the pig world!

Fly research: more exciting than you think!🪰

Don't miss out on this fascinating study on innovative big birds! Rheas and emus figured it out, but ostriches... well, they tried. 😅👇

BEHOLD THE FLAGSHIP PAPER OF MY PHD! 🚢 I trained wild and zoo housed Guinea baboons to pull a lever for peanuts to test whether they monitored the foraging skills of others and used the information to inform their social choices 🧵 (1/9) royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Despite assumptions of bonobos as sexy hippies and chimps as aggressive, we find that both ape species overlap in their use of sex to navigate social problems and repair social bonds Coverage from New Scientist about our new study out in The Royal Society newscientist.com/article/247079…

We still have a PhD position open in our group! 🎓🔬 If you're interested in physiological markers and gene expression involved in prosocial behavior, this could be for you! 🧠 Also pigs around! 🐷 There’s still time to apply, feel free to reach out!

Love cross-species comparisons like this! In Pan, individual differences in consolation outweigh species differences. Fascinating findings!
