The last (for now) in our #MondayMicDrop series is Dr Graham’s paper “The gestural repertoire of the wild bonobo (Pan paniscus): a mutually understood communication system”. Want to learn more about bonobo gesture 👍 👋 🤙 ? Listen here 🎧: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbfj...

#WildMindsLab PI @nakedprimate.bsky.social (and some awesome collaborators) doing really cool research, as always. 🐵🍇🍎🍺🍷
Starting off Monday with #Bonobo #gesture fun 👋🤙✌️! Bonobos infer gesture meaning based off the context it was given in. Listen🎧 to Dr Graham’s paper, “Context, not sequence order, affects the meaning of bonobo gestures”: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGMr...

How should we measure joint attention 👩👦? #mondayMicDrop “Detecting joint attention events in mother-infant dyads: Sharing looks cannot be reliably identified by naïve third-party observers” for this week’s #MondayMicDrop 🎧. Listen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqlf...

Washing up to do? Bored on your commute home? Why don’t you give audio papers a try 🎧? For this weeks’ #MondayMicDrop, Dr Graham narrates their paper “The origin of great ape gestural forms” , check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ckf...

A sunny burn in Glencoe
A small field mouse inspects a cord
A wild poney with a shaggy mane eats grass
Sunset on the mountains with wild flowers
During which the #wildmindslab definitely don’t get distracted while attempting to have a #justwrite week of *Important Science* up north and Scotland responds by going buck wild with wall to wall blue skies, zero midges, wildlife galore, and epic auroras 🫣
Spending the week in Glencoe on the #WildMindsLab retreat. Not a bad place to get some writing done 🤓
Monday again already 🎧?! This week’s #MondayMicDrop is 🥁🥁🥁 *drum roll please* 🥁🥁🥁 Eleuteri et al’s paper, “The form and function of chimpanzee buttress drumming”. Dr Henderson narrates the paper here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF3R...

📣 Calling all audio-book friends 🎧! Fancy a break from reading about dragons 🐉, crime 🕵️♂️, or true love ❤️? Did you know we offer audio versions of some of our papers 👩🔬 🐒 ? Over the next few months, I’ll be sharing them here! #WildMindsLab #MondayMicDrop #STEM #science
At this week's #WildMindsLab #LabChat we will practice summarizing our research for different audiences… It might be a long lab chat 😅
Charlotte: Hey Cat, we should start sharing more of our #WildMindsLab awesome science on Bluesky.
Cat: Great idea! Go ahead!
Charlotte for the last hour, trying to write something engaging, cool and fun:
Hi Sciensky! I’m a primatologist that explores cognition, communication, & culture in wild apes. Follow along for ape (& ele) science, plus random posting of assorted fieldwork adventuring, floof pics, hot sauce, whisky, & nice bits of rock..
