The last APE lab meeting of the semester was made extra special by our newest member, Luisa Elena (center)! She was a fantastic audience member and offered thoughtful insights during Federico’s presentation on capuchin cognition.

Details TBD, but I'm planning to do a teach-in later this month! Tentative topic: "How do our pets think? And how do we know?" 🐶🐈‍⬛ Fellow scientists: what spiel can *you* give to a general audience? Everyone: what do you want to hear about? #StandUpForScience #FundScience #Dogs #Cats #Animals
