Hey @rickygervais, I study mountain gorillas for a living. I know you love animals and I want to invite you to join me in Uganda so I can show you these incredible individuals firsthand. Would you consider joining me for some real science and wildlife. Let’s get you there. 🦍🇺🇬

Evidence from psychology/neuroscience shows uncertainty tolerance can be cultivated through practice.

Uncertainty makes most of us uneasy, and our brains treat “not knowing” like a threat. But learning to sit with ambiguity can actually make us calmer, more flexible, and better decision-makers, explains @RealDrJen https://t.co/ljEP6doDd2

Incredible evening at my first (of many) Apes & Appetizer events where I share about the research and education I am doing in Uganda. Thanks to everyone who came. It was a full house and your support and generosity were humbling! https://t.co/RPLhgEoVw8

[Jennifer Verdolin @RealDrJen]

Thanks to funding from @usmissionuganda the hands on #STEAM project is in full swing. Students learned how to sample and organize data on plastic surrounding 2 National Parks in #Uganda using transect surveys. Next up is making products from the waste. #recycle #education

[Jennifer Verdolin @RealDrJen]

I’m thrilled to be leading this project with your support! We are working hard and can’t wait to share updates.

[Jennifer Verdolin @RealDrJen]

I’m so grateful for the people I work with and the support for the work I am doing. I am actively looking to take my work, both research and education to a friendlier and more supportive work home. DM me if you know of any openings. #conservation #education #positivity #impact
