My first PhD chapter is officially published! 🙌 We examined the effect of age and context on multimodal communication in immature chimpanzees 🗣🤌😀.
Grateful to my supervisors @zannaclay and Marina for all their support and guidance. Hopefully more papers to follow soon!
We have a new paper out on the development of multimodal communication in chimpanzees!
Out #openaccess in #AnimalBehaviour, led by the v talented @emma_doherty27@DurhamPsych

Our @DurhamPsych research has found that development of communication in #chimpanzees echoes that of human infants. Find out more about how our closest living relatives could help us better understand how human communication evolved 👉 https://t.co/nwEBygoYsX

Young #chimpanzees combine different gestures, vocalisations & facial expressions in a way which echoes development of communication in human infants according to new research from @DurhamPsych 🐒

Pls RT. We’ve co-drafted a letter with the Harvard Animal Law & Policy Clinic to the NIH to ask them to urgently review protocols & ethical justifications for the ongoing invasive macaque research at Harvard 1/2

Revising a paper is more about spending hours and hours to find a reference to support what you know is absolutely true but you just need someone to agree with you 😂😂
WRITING ADVICE:
If you’re having a hard time getting started on a project, simply start a second project, get it to a critical point, then use the original project to procrastinate work on the second now more stressful project. Repeat as needed until the universe disintegrates
