@ruderalflora Impfmasern sind aber harmlos und nicht ansteckend. Sie hat ja sonst keine Symptome, es ist also kein Masernfall.

@kirstyegraham Very sorry to hear this, Kirsty! I send you and your family my very best wishes and a picture of my sleepy cat!

[Zürcher @caringmonkeys]

I will go through my literature and see what I find. You can DM me if you want to chat about what is especially interesting to you, might be helpfull to come up with ideas...

@SimonWTownsend @cheekybabbler might have suggestions as well?

[Zürcher @caringmonkeys]

@SG_PighD I once used added up z-score values, but the values were highly correlated, it was only a preliminary result and I am not yet sure whether it was the best measure... But I am glad to see what other suggestion there are!

Do you want to think about something different than crisis for amomenzt? How about Orang Utans? Great work by @EKopter out now!

[Zürcher @caringmonkeys]

@MielkeAlexander @rkbruegger @OliveiraT3, I guess you guys can contribute here as well? ;-)

[Alex Mielke @MielkeAlexander]

We need some primate photos for the EFP website, and everyone needs to be cheered up, so please post your favourite primate photos (if you are happy to have them appear on the website)

Anoyone that could help with this specific question? How to stream a wedding to friends and family?

[IPS Primate @IPS_PrimateNews]

Extra health considerations are relevant in both field and captive settings, to protect both the primates we are studying and the people with whom we work, especially during these times of increased risk. We will be posting further news and links soon. 2/2

Women academic friends with children: I spoke to a prospective graduate student today who was told by a male professor in her department that if she wanted children, she might as well not even shoot for a PhD. Share your stories in this thread to prove he's wrong.

@kirstyegraham @cheekybabbler @ISLE_uzh Yes! The train-virus is spreading! 🚄💪 Can I count this as one of my accomplishments of 2020? 😄

Any underwater archaeologists want to make this classroom VERY happy?! Please share...

[Zürcher @caringmonkeys]

Yes! Great! I hope I will soon no longer be the exotic one when I mention I came by train to conferences!

[Zürcher @caringmonkeys]

I can only agree with @ChimpanzEve! @SimonaMandra's work is beautiful! Check it out!

Helping each other out in gray parrots seems to be based on a prosocial attitude. Looks like a very nice study!

We clearly can’t trust toy companies to encourage young girls into science so it’s our job to provide role models they can look up to. If you’re a Woman in STEM feel free to drop your bio below so we can use you as examples of women girls can aspire to be!
