I love research because it combines my two favorite things: sitting and anxiety

[Joao Pereira @jdpereira]

I will die on this one: pay is the single largest gatekeeper we have in academia.

This crap isn’t viable.

It’s hurting people, and limiting the pool of talented folks that think it’s a good idea to do science or have the resources to do so.

Our new paper using deep learning to describe primate facial gestures is now online! Please give it a read! https://t.co/nfNasYh856 @dbiosunito @DeepLabCut

⚠️Careful what images you share! ⚠️ Posts can inadvertently promote wildlife pet trade, even with responsible captions. Our new pub in latest Conservation Biology.

Guy time. This trio of Kwan and his two sons, Mondika and Djeke, has become a common occurrence recently. Most of the time they’re playing but I caught this uncommon quiet moment of the three resting together 🦍🦍🦍

Another reason to #PauseBeforePosting, a responsible caption doesn't stop viewers from thinking a primate would make a good pet. Latest research from @CassieFreund, myself and others, #openaccess @ConBiology @lincolnparkzoo
