BEHOLD THE FLAGSHIP PAPER OF MY PHD! 🚢 I trained wild and zoo housed Guinea baboons to pull a lever for peanuts to test whether they monitored the foraging skills of others and used the information to inform their social choices 🧵 (1/9) royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

I'm kickstarting a TTRPG, starting today! It's a card-drawing heist game (no dice), good for one-shots, and high-stakes Ocean's 11 style play. The fnding is all or nothing, so if you back, you only pay if I reach my humble £600 goal. Go on, support it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/min...

"The Last Job You'll Ever Need": A Heist TTRPG

"The Last Job You'll Ever Need" is fast and dirty game for executing a meticulous heist.

Who would have guessed that open access and open science non-profits such as @archive.org and @cos.io are useful just in case your government want to delete scientific data? And yet, here we are.

Happy to share our recent paper on chimpanzees’ evaluations of conspecifics’ skills rdcu.be/dUPCS Big Thanks to the team of Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary for their fantastic support!

Preprint on delay of gratification in long-tailed macaques: https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/8v6gz Congratulations to @juditstolla.bsky.social for this great outcome of her Master thesis project.

Advertising 11 PhD positions in the RTG "Form-meaning mismatches". Project 3 - associated with my group - examines how word-form and word-meaning mismatches influence early word learning, expanding on this publication (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...).

We have two preprints to share: #1 about long-tailed macaques failing to learn reward contingencies for a study on risky decision-making https://doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/uh6mk. #2 about social evaluations in 4-7-year-old children https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/c3gwu. (1/8)

Great that Season 3 of the Chalk Talk Series at the #Forum_Wissen is about to start! Happy to announce that our SFB will be represented by two speakers: Nivi Mani kicks it off on Nov 3, Viola Priesemann follows Dec. 1. Talks are every Friday at 16.30, admission is free. Don't miss it!

Hello! Finally made it to the other side. Looking forward to exploring this place 🙋‍♀️
