I have never been prouder to see another young woman rise! Brava Brava, Amanda Gorman! Maya Angelou is cheering—and so am I.

My husband is conducting interviews today. He’s the biggest goober you’ve ever met and honestly just wants to see people excited to work there. Idk what position you’re holding back applying for but just do it - you never know if you’ll have that one thing your interviewer wants.

1 #AnimBehav2021 How do ecological and social traits shape cognition? We used a battery of tests to assess the cognitive abilities of the highly frugivorous, fission-fusion dependent spider monkey🐒, and discuss the results based on the socioecological relevance of the skills.

1/6 Body temperature (BT) is a valuable physiological parameter as it is related to animal key body functions. Infrared Technology (IRT) allows the study of thermal biology. BT serves as a proxy of health, metabolic rate, stress state and links them with behaviour. #AnimBehav2021

(1/6) Dance display and female courtship are often overlooked in birdsong studies. We previously found that a socially monogamous songbird performs tap dance-like display in both sexes. My current study aims to understand its communicative functions. #AnimBehav2021

With many still w/o power, we wanted to share info + resources w/ our student community. For many students, this power outage may impact your academics & we encourage you to work directly w/ your professors regarding any challenges you may be experiencing due to the outage. (1/3)

One of the things I miss most about pre-covid times is writing in coffee shops. I miss the sights and the smells and overhearing small pieces of people’s experiences and personal lives. I miss witnessing young love and old love and letting it inspire my writing. I just miss it.
