Here's a quick roundup of highlights from research we published in 2022, on capitalism, imperialism, degrowth and decolonization. It's all open-access, and free PDFs are available via the link at the end of the thread. 🧵

We will be on 60 Minutes this Sunday 5th Nov from 7pm ET (right after the NFL game) talking with Leslie Stahl about our work investigating hurricane impacts on Cayo Santiago. x.com/60minutes/stat…

Henry Kissinger, architect of so much death and destruction in the name of US imperialism, has died. Warm and in a bed at the age of 100, Kissinger’s death is a reminder that the world does not remove nor punish murderers and genocidaires—this we must do ourselves.

This study provides a comparative context for the reconstruction of habitual hand use in fossil populations. Morphological variation in the phalanges is consistent with differences in locomotor and manipulative behaviors in extant great apes #AJBA doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.2…

Did you know orangutans are capable of producing two different vocal sounds at the same time? Something that has otherwise only been known in songbirds and human beatboxing! A fascinating discovery by Adriano Lameira, Madeleine Hardus and their team. doi.org/10.1093/pnasne…

Check out my fearless leader Dr. Erin Vogel 🦧🌿 and other amazing #WomeninScience at Rutgers University 🔥 rutgers.edu/news/womens-hi…

In 2021 my former Rutgers University and CHES_RU PhD student Dr. Didik Prasetyo Didik Orangutan 🦧 published an article about how #orangutans in Nyaru menteng run by BOS Foundation reacted to a full solar eclipse. You can check it out here: e-journal.unas.ac.id/bio/article/vi… 🦧🇮🇩

He found that orangutans modified their normal behavior during and after the #eclipse.

lack of racist, sexist, classist, and other willfully ignorant views is not a lack of "viewpoint diversity"...it's just good practice. It's quite reasonable to not include factually erroneous and intentionally discriminatory viewpoints.

Great afternoon with my two amazing Rutgers SAS Rutgers SEBS Aresty Research Center undergrad students who I have loved working with. Phoebe is continuing with her 4+1 environmental science program and Kyle is off to vet school! 🙌

No need to wonder why these students are protesting: they keep telling us.

The protesting students were right in 1984 and they are right in 2024.

History has repeatedly shown that arresting peaceful protestors will only escalate, not calm, tensions on campuses. Students and faculty must be free to express their political opinions without fear of disproportionate punishment or censure. latimes.com/business/story…

Researchers have observed a Sumatran #orangutan in the wild repeatedly treating its own wound with a plant with several known medicinal properties - the first scientific record of this behaviour in a wild animal mpg.de/21886982/0429-… Dr. Isabelle Laumer caroline

Congratulations on this very cool finding of medical plant use in orangutan by the Orangutans of Suaq and Universitas Nasional team! #orangutans #health #medicinalplants
