Lots of energy and food for thought after our latest East Oxford Parent Power meeting! Now to organise our first bespoke university visit designed by parents, continue having open conversations about the barriers to university access, and work together to build power for change💫

From Monday to Wednesday this week, we hosted the Paleo-Primate Project - Gorongosa Workshop at Universidade Algarve. We were honored to host the event, and we would like to thank PI Prof. Susana Carvalho and all researchers for joining us in Faro!

Our lab is at #IPSKuching! Keen to know more about our work? Check out this handy lab schedule thread. IPS Primate 20 & 21 of August will feature Prof. Susana Carvalho Elodie Freymann (PhD) Sophie Berdugo @JanaMuschinski & Dan Schofield 1/3

Also on the 21 Aug there will be a dedicated symposium on the primates of Gorongosa National Park with Dr Lucy Baehren ❁ @JanaMuschinski Jacinto Mathe Megan Beardmore-Herd d'Oliveira Coelho @bobe_rene Rassina Farassi Lynn Lewis-Bevan & other members of the Paleo-Primate Project 2/3

On the 22 August, don't miss the important roundtable on the key issues to tackle in primatology led by Prof. Susana Carvalho. Finally, the 23 August will feature talks & a poster by Dr Lucy Baehren ❁ Dr. Kat Almeida-Warren. Whether you're attending in person or online we'll see you there! 3/3

This is how your photo in Kuching should look! We worked for 1 year to take 15 researchers to IPS23 & were only able to take 13. Jacinto & Rassina were not able to travel & present online this afternoon. 2025 must see all together in Madagascar! We need more equity & inclusion.

My first-ever podium presentation on results of my PhD research, and what a conference for it 🐒🇲🇾 I am feeling incredibly grateful to be at #IPSKuching presenting my research on the Gorongosa National Park primates and attending so many amazing talks and discussions

I absolutely admire my student, she is a true force of nature - Megan Beardmore-Herd gave a star talk yesterday on the effects of cyclone Idai on the primate population of Gorongosa National Park & you should tune in to see if if you miss it! I am surrounded by such a group of STARS 🤩!

So thrilled to see this out! We climbed mountains to ship rocks from Kenyan Oldowan sites to Bossou! Such cool results: Chimps select best new rocks for each task & youngsters improve fast by recycling adult kits 👌 David R. Braun Megan Beardmore-Herd @primhevo sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
