Dear all primatologists, I as the VP of Student Affairs is looking to form my dream team with early career primatologists who can work on the welfare of primatology students. Seeking members from the Americas, Europe, and perhaps Australia, now. Please circulate this among the interested Thanks.

I have not been actively doing research for 5 years but needed to have the job and I love teaching. But I miss research and will the primatology world accept me?

Bonobos bully as much as chimpanzees—but their victims differ by sex, according to new #ScienceAdvances research. https://scim.ag/4sgXciX

Chimpanzees are not more aggressive than bonobos but target sexes differently

Chimpanzees and bonobos differ in aggression distribution but not magnitude.

Bonobos and bottlenose dolphins may seem worlds apart, but together they reveal key conditions that foster cooperation beyond group boundaries

Manboys can't be trusted with tech. They want their mommies to take care of everything. This extends to getting mommies who look exactly like them is scary

This makes me think of the creepy Black Mirror episode where people make a copy of their consciousness that is then trapped and enslaved to be their personal digital assistant.

Being a primatologist, if one is not political then I guess we need to relook at who we are

Even with a full time job I find @Behaviour2025 to be way out of my budget happening in my city. Anyone else facing the same?? I really hope students get to go to this great conference because if they can't afford here at home, it is evil to think that they can afford anywhere else. #inclusivity??

I’m happy to share that I have been elected as Vice President For Student Affairs at INTERNATIONAL PRIMATOLOGICAL SOCIETY! I am looking forward to make primatology a more inclusive and rewarding experience for students all over the world. I need your support throughout this journey.

Juat can't keep calm and thinking about them everyday!! Sumatra, you are missed!

Please I need you 😭💔 You may ignore me while sitting at home, but here I am fighting death and diseases. I am helpless trying to provide winter clothes and blankets for my family. The cost per person may reach $150. We are 8 people, not including the children. Please 😭💔💔💔💔

Israel guided 1.5 million Palestinians into Rafah. They moved the "safe zone" further and further south, until Rafah was all that was left. Now they're bombing Rafah, and people have nowhere to go, nowhere to flee. It's genocide.

i feel so sick. 1.4 million palestinian refugees were chased from their homes to rafah. now israel is bombing there, too.

Israel strikes Rafah refugee camp, 37 killed, local health officials say

Israeli strikes on Gaza's southern city of Rafah killed 37 people and wounded dozens, local health officials said on Monday, after U.S. President Joe Biden told Israel not to attack Rafah without a credible plan to protect civilians.

This is monstrous. “A house on the beach is not a dream” An company from #Israel who specialises in Jewish housing in Occupied Palestine is already promoting a house on the beach over the ruins of #Gaza. Settler-colonialism on the back of ethnic cleansing of #Palestine. Monstrous.
