Congrats are in order for Giuliana Centofanti, Amber Shaw, Mariana Correia and Fede Sanchez Vargas who all passed their qualifying exams and have advanced to candidacy! Well done!

Mariana and Sophie presenting at the Southeast Evolution and Human Behavior conference!

Congratulations to Fede Sanchez Vargas, who won the Outstanding Student Presentation Award for his poster on CapuchinAI at this year’s AABA conference!! This award recognizes the important contributions students make to the field and celebrates innovative, rigorous research by emerging scholars.

The last APE lab meeting of the semester was made extra special by our newest member, Luisa Elena (center)! She was a fantastic audience member and offered thoughtful insights during Federico’s presentation on capuchin cognition.

Congratulations to APE Lab member Jackie Zhou for defending her honors thesis on same-sex sexual behavior in white-faced capuchin monkeys!

The APE lab wishes a very happy birthday to chimpanzee Gremlin, who turned 55 this week!

Always a fun time at the October lab meeting.
