Congratulations to Mingtong Li on a successful PhD viva! Her work, supervised by Dr. Suzanne Aussems and Prof. Sotaro Kita, examined how iconic temporal modulations in gesture and speech help learners interpret new verbs across development and what this reveals about iconicity comprehension.

At last week's @primatesocietygb.bsky.social conference it was discussed at length how we need to be supporting the local communities and helping where we can and only a few days later @dranipermana.bsky.social is trying to do just that! Please share or get in touch with her to see how you can help.

Our new paper is out! Orangutan long calls are strongly isochronous, yet surprisingly they can also shift into double-meter patterns โ a small but intriguing clue to the roots of musical rhythm.

BBC targets adults in the latest adventure for its top dog Bluey

Hereโs a ๐งต about the amazing Bluey, which tells a different story about the BBC than the one we usually hearโฆ
Itโs how the BBCโs commercial arm has understood the new media world, piled into digital platforms - & is now reaping the benefits.

Not sure if itโs a location/country preference but at Warwick itโs referred to as a PhD thesis and seems typically across UK and Europe!

A great time at @pintofscience.uk last night watching @dranipermana.bsky.social teach us all about orangutan nest building and then expertly judge our own nests! Turns out I need to spend a bit more time in the forest to get the hang of it.

Out today in Ann NY Acad Sci: orangutans show third-order rhythmic nesting in alarm callsโlike music, rhythms within rhythms within rhythms. They adjust tempo and rhythm by threat type: faster for credible threats ๐ฏ, slower for less credible alarms ๐ต. doi.org/10.1111/nyas...
