My brother’s new book is out. Thomas Friedman and I both agree it’s a good read

I'm a little late on the Twitter game here... but, recently published in iScience journal: ✨Interspecific interactions between sympatric apes ✨ by Crickette Sanz, David Morgan, the amazing GTAP team, et al. cell.com/iscience/fullt…

It's not R, it's not the statistician, you are in charge of reaching out conclusions from your data! Want to know more? Join us in our next FINE seminar for a great discussion about Scientific and Statistical Inference in the Study of Social Evolution.

A few days left to apply to this human/hominin focused TT job at UT Austin. Let me know if you have questions!!! apply.interfolio.com/112751

Dr. John Mitani on The PrimateCast: Origins! An audio rebroadcast of his talk at our CICASP international primatology lecture series. ow.ly/UsLh50LqvgZ @ngogochimps Kyoto University

this looks very cool and worthwhile!

Mr. Worzle! The Gombe chimp with pronounced white sclera could be dismissed as an anomaly among 60 chimps. But when 5 or so Ngogo chimps have it, you start paying attention. Turns out ~15% of the 200+ chimps at Ngogo have some white or light sclera @ngogochimps

Planet of the Apes movies have been bashed for giving the chimps human-like eyes - featuring whites around the iris. But Rowan Hooper ローワン フーパー says the films were right all along, and research from Aaron Sandel shows chimps eyes DO have whites. newscientist.com/podcasts/165-w…

More than meets the eye: A new study from UT researchers suggests that chimpanzees and other mammals—not just humans—have light sclera or "whites of the eyes," a trait thought to be key to social communication. liberalarts.utexas.edu/news/chimpanze…

A group of great young field biologists are organizing a very important zoom panel. if you're a trans field researcher, please reach out to them! or share!

Wild chimpanzees (at least males) seem to have an adolescent growth spurt in their skeleton authors.elsevier.com/a/1gjQtAlZXU1X…

Intriguing results from Aaron Sandel examining bone biology in adolescent chimpanzees. It's long been assumed that the adolescent growth spurt in humans is a unique aspect of our life history, but maybe chimpanzees have something similar happening. doi.org/10.1016/j.jhev…

To live in the jungle you must fight to survive. Narrated by Mahershala Ali and from the co-director of My Octopus Teacher, Chimp Empire premieres April 19

Was happy to Chair the first podium presentation session at #MPIG2023, which started with Riley Derby presenting some data on female social relationships in mountain gorillas in collaboration with Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and Aaron Sandel.

Have you all seen this discussion going around about whether 100 men could bring down a gorilla and vice versa?😅 Such a random debate! People have been asking me to share my take as someone who has worked with gorillas for close to 30 years, so here I am! Gorillas are five

Fun fact: It takes 100+ people just to protect a gorilla. You’re not beating one. Let’s save wildlife, not defeat it.

sometimes you think you're not making a difference as a professor, then you have moments like this
