Congratulations to Mingtong Li on a successful PhD viva! Her work, supervised by Dr. Suzanne Aussems and Prof. Sotaro Kita, examined how iconic temporal modulations in gesture and speech help learners interpret new verbs across development and what this reveals about iconicity comprehension.

At last week's @primatesocietygb.bsky.social conference it was discussed at length how we need to be supporting the local communities and helping where we can and only a few days later @dranipermana.bsky.social is trying to do just that! Please share or get in touch with her to see how you can help.

Our new paper is out! Orangutan long calls are strongly isochronous, yet surprisingly they can also shift into double-meter patterns — a small but intriguing clue to the roots of musical rhythm. doi.org/10.1016/j.is...

Thank you bringing your knowledge, enthusiasm, and hope to this year's Winter Meeting at National Museum Cardiff. We hope to see you all next year!

Excited to be in Cardiff for the #PSGB winter conference where I’ll be presenting a poster on one of my PhD chapters! 🦍🦧

Excited to share my first PhD article, published in Scientific Data 👉 rdcu.be/eIRqD We present the Shared Book Reading Corpus: 44 caregiver-infant dyads, 3 camera views (headcams + overview), speech transcriptions & developmental measures. Access on Databrary for discovery & reuse! ✨ #OpenScience

A great time at @pintofscience.uk last night watching @dranipermana.bsky.social teach us all about orangutan nest building and then expertly judge our own nests! Turns out I need to spend a bit more time in the forest to get the hang of it.

Out today in Ann NY Acad Sci: orangutans show third-order rhythmic nesting in alarm calls—like music, rhythms within rhythms within rhythms. They adjust tempo and rhythm by threat type: faster for credible threats 🐯, slower for less credible alarms 🔵. doi.org/10.1111/nyas...

Published today! Here we show how social life shapes musical timing in a duetting monkey... and how hard is singing while parenting! 🙈 🎶 doi.org/10.1098/rspb... @marcogamba.bsky.social
