At EFP2024, @Mael_Lx and I led the symposium 'Concrete Actions to Improve Ethics, Diversity, and Inclusivity in Primatology.' With 10 primatologists, we raised urgent issues and introduced specific actions for the lab and the field. Here’s a summary, share and use it! 💪

Sound on!

We are looking for two PhD students interested in cumulative culture in great apes. By using observational, experimental and computational methods, we aim to test whether precursors of human culture are present in chimpanzees and bonobos. uu.nl/en/organisatio…

We are thrilled to announce that we are finalists for the Amazon Business Small Business Grant! Thank you to everyone who voted for us. Your support means the world to our small non-profit and helps us continue our long-term #research!
