Human #nestbuilding all in the name of 🧪

Luckily my teachers 🦧 were the best!

Construction is not as easy as you think - got 5 minutes? Show me what you can do!

Stop Press!

#CommunicationsBiology have finally done right by our work and published the correct version of our article!
Press Release here:

warwick.ac.uk/news/pressre...

Our recent publication in #CommunicationsBiology was published in error before production actioned corrections 🤦‍♀️
I’ve now received 3 more proofs, still with errors!!
For a #nature journal you expect a more competent production team.

Our new paper is out in #CurrentBiology!

Here we show how wild #orangutans make up for their lost sleep using daytime naps. 😴🦧

I've sent you some videos!

I’ll find some good ones and send them over.

Do you mean tree-swaying? Sure I have hundreds. DM me what you need 🦧🙏

Already on it. When you pay such a premium it kinda feels like you should get a better service 😏

#Academicsky riddle me this:

You publish in a high ranking journal but production published your article without actioning critical amendments to proofs - colleagues have noticed and been in contact.

How cross are you and how long do you wait for a response and explanation from the journal?

Here is what 2 years of fieldwork looks like! 🙌 also 👏 to Ani’s husband for taking on the lead acting role in the project and posing as a 🐅😮

Ani Permana kicks off our evolutionary session with her work on displaced reference in wild orangutans @warwickpsych.bsky.social #LLGAwayDay #ApeTank

Thanks! 🙏 ( I will admit climbing up to the nests was also one of my favourite parts!)

Our new paper is out!

We found #orangutans develop #nest-building skills through observational #sociallearning, #selectiveattention
to“know-how” and transmission of“know-what” information.

Thanks @pintofscience.uk
I had a great evening sharing my work on #orangutan nests at the #universityofwarwick last night!

Thanks for coming! Yes - you must come to the forest and do some tree climbing with me 😊

Thanks 👍

Sure! Add me in 👍

Analysis is well underway of thousands of hours of audio recordings of #orangutans!

Looking forward to sharing what we find as soon as we can. Watch this space!

Building Nests, Crafting Stories: The Hidden Skills That Connect Us

If you are in the Midlands, UK, come along to my talk on the wonderful world of #orangutan #nest-building as a part of the #PintofScience event this year in #Coventry.

Should be a fun evening 🦧🪹

Hi, I started this fundraiser, Ani's IPS at 50!, on GoFundMe and it would mean a lot to me if you’d be able to share or donate to it.
#primates #orangutans #IPS #Worthatry

As my teenager says #orangutans are totally the GOAT 🦧

Thank you so much for your support 🙏
