Hi new followers 👋 I'm guessing many of you now know what I do👇(thanks #Primates!) I'm a primatologist @univofstandrews my group works with wild apes across Africa to understand their & our behaviour. Follow #teamGesture #wildminds for updates & all the #floof you can handle...
Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) are one of our closest relatives, prolific tool-users and have a secret language, that we’re only just beginning to understand. #Primates
Does anyone know these chimps? Or can ID the subspecies? @lace_lively found these gorgeous prints in a thrift store.
Last minute team changes mean we have a position open at short notice. Starts mid-Jan, application deadline Nov 21, costs covered & small stipend. DM for any questions - it’ll be full-on algae fishing fun times!!! Pls RT

Feeling that collective effervescence at the #DartmouthNight bonfire! To explore human collective behaviour in response to firelight it helps to have a *really* big fire (& science friends w/ a v cool drone!) ❤️🔥🤓🧪 @royalsociety @RoyalSocEd @dartmouth @DominyNathaniel
🎥 New: "Animals in Translation" 2024 Workshop Presentation by @Interspecies_io, @sfiscience, @xprize 🍃In this talk, Cat Hobaiter (@NakedPrimate) dives into how apes' gestures can give us a glimpse into their inner lives. ⭐️ Full lecture on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=GNnklp…
Free scientific illustrations for biologists! 😍 @NIH has released a library of 500+ free scientific illustrations to create figures, presentations, and illustrations! all freely available in the public domain. Retweet and spread the message! bioart.niaid.nih.gov
Very excited about new paper with the amazing Susan Goldin-Meadow: Children creating language engage in whole-to-part learning. This suggests such learning is not driven by hard-to-segment input, but is a bias children bring to language: authors.elsevier.com/c/1j--r4sIRvTB….

Our new paper using deep learning to describe primate facial gestures is now online! Please give it a read! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @dbiosunito @DeepLabCut
In this we find that newborns (from day 1!) and 6mo infants can process non-adjacent dependencies. Intriguingly, they recruit different brain regions to do so... This builds on our earlier work, in which we found this capacity is likely evolutionarily ancient (at least 40mya!)
New paper out @PLOSBiology: using an artificial grammar-based approach we investigated the neuro-developmental origins of non-adjacent dependency learning w/Lin Cai,@babellab_vienna @ChimpsAhoi, Yasuyo Minagawa et al @UZH_Science @NCCR_Language @snsf_ch journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Hi #EntTwitter folk! Can anyone help ID this Ugandan #cicada species that just *loves* to play havoc with our sound recordings 😅 (photo, Budongo Forest, NW Uganda) 🙏RT #entomology #insect #noisybuggers #Uganda #wildlife
It’s the most wonderful time… of the year…. flint knapping-deer butchery-bbq time!! In which we get to stomp about in the woods, learn what language can (& can’t) do & scoff excellent food (vegan options, flint blades are just as good on tomatoes!) all in the name of science 🧪
