A wonderful time in Vancouver last week with @sarafreeman.bsky.social at the International Congress of Neuroethology, where she was invited to describe how our lab's work on the neurobiology of coyote pair bonding can promote public understanding and appreciation of these resilient canids #ICN2026

🎉 Thrilled to share that I successfully defended my dissertation a week ago! After a year of chasing feisty capuchins through the forests of Costa Rica, it’s official — PhD complete! 🐒📚 Grateful for all the support along the way from @mebenitez.bsky.social, committee, friends, and family. #PhDone

As I work though my oxytocin data, this video of Milagro grooming Mosquito brings me back to the field. Does grooming relate to measurable increases in #oxytocin in wild white-faced #capuchins, as seen in other primates? Stay tuned... #Primatology #SocialBehavior #fieldwork 🐒🧪🥾
