New study in @ScienceAdvances on group-differences in prosociality in chimpanzees. Chimpanzees at @Chimfunshi show fascinating group variation in social tolerance, which translated here in diffs in prosociality. Congrats to Van Leeuwen & all co-authors!

Interesting new paper looking at how marmosets navigate social dilemmas with key sex differences in behavioral strategies. Females were more strategic whiles males were more prosocial. Cool study!

We surveyed AZA zoos about the pros & cons of different great ape exhibit substrates. Despite the benefits deep-litter biofloors confer they’re still not commonly used- we hope our findings will encourage zoos to consider them in future habitat designs #ZooResearch #AnimalWelfare

I've had a *great* female mentor who I probably don't thank often enough! Thanks @DrSFBrosnan for always being an amazing mentor and an inspirational role model!

[Dr. Erin P. Riley @ethnoprimate]

Raise your hand if you've had a female mentor, and you know that they have contributed to your impact as scholar. #genderequity @NatureComms

Thank YOU @staceyabrams

Georgia, thank you. Together, we have changed the course of our state for the better. But our work is not done.

Have you wanted to start using R, but found the idea too daunting?

I made a thing! It's a series of short guides aimed at getting anyone started.

@OliviaTReilly @LabHecht Ha! Finn does have an angelic voice. I don’t think he qualifies though, as he sings to behavioral triggers not musical ones!

[A/Prof Lisa A. Williams @lisawilliams.bsky.social @williamslisaphd]

Excited to see this article, co-authored w Sarah Brosnan and @zannaclay, out in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews. Can applying a human lens help us understand the nature of non-human animal and human affect/emotion? https://t.co/TYEzEm4W7G (1/

[Dr Esther Odekunle @EstOdek]

Many scientists are focussed on how to be better allies to fellow scientists, but we also need to address how we can re-gain trust among non-scientists. Black people have been BETRAYED by scientists & medics in history & presently. What steps will be taken to right the wrongs?

Great job @MollyFlessert !! 🥳

Excited to share our new paper on sex differences in the capuchin brain! It was great to be a part of this collaboration with @LabHecht @mebenitez85 @kim78209 and @DrSFBrosnan. #WomenInSTEM https://t.co/s3fhBNB5Di

@watzoever accurate portrayal of me going in for the last bit of popcorn though...

@watzoever How I feel about my outcome

[Animal Cognition @SpringerANCO]

Sherman, a symbol-trained chimpanzee, could remember a hidden food item's identity after a 10-min delay. Watching a misleading video during the delay caused Sherman to make mistakes. Suggests chimps, like humans, are vulnerable to misinformation effects. https://t.co/oHEsvXo3rO

When the lab-meeting theme is old people and it becomes a surprise birthday party, I don't know whether to laugh or cry 🥳👵

[Dr. Sarah F. Brosnan @DrSFBrosnan]

Lab birthdays aren't the same when I can't bring in your treats, but @mebenitez85 @MegSosnowski and @mackfwebster, you'll get them when we get back! #CEBUSLAB

I think we may spend too much time on zoom 🤪🐶
