Asking for a friend: how many different things are in your rotation for dinner?
I just gave to The Leakey Foundation to support women in science. Join me today! Your gift will be quadruple-matched! leakeyfoundation.donorsupport.co/page/whm24?ref…
When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. #WomensHistoryMonth scim.ag/6gM
Check out these female chimpanzees frolicing in the forest.

In future studies, we hope to examine how mother chimpanzees play with their offspring and how mother-offspring play contributes to social and physical development- so stay tuned for more!
It's World Baboon Day. And here are some of my favorite baboons
Tomorrow is World Baboon Day. I expect the internet to be flooded with baboon pictures. Don't let the baboons down.

Help needed from the collective mind: I recently saw a phylogenetic comparative analysis which assessed the effects of terrestiality on grooming rates in primates. Can anyone supply the citation?
Study finds the longest lasting non-human social memories ever documented. "Chimpanzees and bonobos recognize individuals even though they haven't seen them for multiple decades," says senior author @ChrisKrupenye. hub.jhu.edu/2023/12/18/ape…
Some projects require extraordinary patience and persistence. Studying paternity in a solitary ape with huge ranges and very low fertility rates requires both. Bravo.

My dad always joked that his birthday week was inauspicious - tax day, titanic sinking, lincoln shot, bay of pigs, etc. Perhaps it's no surprise that it's also the week he passed. Today's his 70th, and Wednesday marks two years without Bill Fucking Kimbel, PhD. Love you.
People who send a nice email when they like an article are the backbone of academia
Paleoanthropologist Bill Kimbel was born #OnThisDay in 1954. An expert on Australopithecus afarensis, early Homo, and more, Bill was skilled at everything from finding fossils in the eastern African rift valley to carefully and thoughtfully analyzing them. We miss you, Bill.
