This review of primate personality research describes which species have been studied in the last 10 yrs, but also what such research reveals about the interplay between personality & welfare and the applications of personality assessments for primate care https://t.co/AUMK1cZBOu

As thermal imaging is increasingly used to assess primates’ affect in controlled studies, @BenjaminRLake, @chimpchic, @chimpfreq & I tested the feasibility of collecting thermal images in tandem with long-term behavioral observations of captive chimps https://t.co/IOD1kxXh92 1/2

In addition to being a scientist and dog parent, I also serve as my partner's hypeman (he doesn't use social media)!

Congrats, Joe Dwyer, on your first author publication! I am happy to see all this hard work and dedication pay off. Proud of you!
