Was lucky enough to capture these photos on the way back from the field last week. A group of ~12 chimpanzees crossing a road inside Cantanhez NP, Guinea-Bissau. This was metres from a village, highlighting how humans and chimpanzees share the land across their range. #Chimpanzees #Primatology

Every year around now, I start to see grad students on social media bemoan that they’re going home for the holidays to a family that doesn’t understand their research, or what they do in general, and it breaks my heart. 🧵 🧪 #SciComm

European countries vote to give farmers more freedom to shoot wolves
The decision by Bern Convention members is a major win for the EU and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
