Hi friends! Tomorrow at 9 am PT/12 pm ET/6 pm CET I'll be presenting a Proceedings B Ecology and Evolution Seminar about my recently published paper: Chimpanzees and children are curious about social interactions 🥳 Tune in to learn more about comparative curiosity! cassyni.com/events/R9W1m...
These studies comparing social curiosity in chimpanzees & children were completed with the help of an amazing team including @alisongopnik.bsky.social, @janengelmann.bsky.social, @estherherrmann.bsky.social, @rachnare.bsky.social, @Oded Ritov and @Alex Sanchez-Amaro. Can't wait to share our results!
