Dr. Erin Siracusa at #ASP2024 on her postdoc research exploring the drivers of social aging in rhesus macaques! 🐒 Her work dives into how social selectivity changes with age and its impact on disease outcomes. AmSoc Primatologists

43P has been one of our social behaviour study subjects for 14 years. He lasted until the (old!) age of 23 and died recently, probably of old age. I'll miss his pointy hairdo and his close relationship with his (still living) older sister

Ten days left to apply! 👇 - Project in collaboration with @suneman and Lauren Brent - We are looking for people with different backgrounds, such as physics, math, computer science, biology, social data science - More info in links below

Postdoc position available! Come to CRAB to work with Sam Ellis , me, Kenny Chiou & Noah Snyder-Mackler on comparative life-history evolution, as part of a new NIH grant on the social modifiers of lifespan. Apply by Oct 29 here: jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecrui…

⭐️New paper⭐️ What happens to the spread of cooperation if cooperators occupy well-connected positions in social networks? We investigated it here: cambridge.org/core/journals/…
