✨A (belated) introduction to our new CCS president: the one & only Noam Miller!! Anyone who knows Noam can speak to his passion & enthusiasm for truly comparative research, & his supportiveness of other researchers. We're very lucky to have him leading the way for the society!✨

Crows count out loud🐦‍⬛: An exciting new study trained crows to produce 1-4 vocalisations corresponding to a visual number & auditory cue, using different calls for each number. Use of the 'approximate number system' suggested #CompCogPapers #Science https://t.co/EZlCDPeu17

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about how folks can reuse and remix open access work. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! So much, in fact, that @markswartz @Comp_Cog & I wrote an intro on how to do it! A hopefully handy starter! https://t.co/ar4PIcN99t

Frans de Waal was an astute observer of animal behavior who challenged the world to see animals as individuals with personalities and emotions and maybe even the seeds of politics and morality. He inspired generations and will be greatly missed

We have lost one of life's true greats- Frans de Waal. I am heartbroken

A brilliant thinker, pioneer, mentor, friend & colleague. An exceptional observer of the natural world whose deep and brave curiosity enabled him to see things beyond the constraints of the status quo 1/5
