The University of Exeter is not in budget deficit. Yet are proposing to cut 150 academic jobs. This include my job. Please sign and share the petition, write our Vice Chancellor, to your MP, and get the word out about the act of self harm this university is about to commit. c.org/yKcx6Zr29H

An afternoon in the shambas following Camp Group: @alexvgeorgiev.bsky.social @hannahfrog.bsky.social and @owenstorer.bsky.social
PhD students @hannahfrog.bsky.social from UCSB and @owenstorer.bsky.social from @bangorcosepgr.bsky.social chilling at our Jozani base discussing colobus science and such.
A single young female passing through camp this morning to nibble on some foliage. She might be at an age where shes looking to join a new group and moves around on her own for a bit.
We are now on @bsky.app! Follow us for updates on our work in the field, studying the endangered and endemic Zanzibar red colobus monkeys!! #primates #primatology
