If you’re a researcher in search of a field site let us know! There are plenty of monkeys at the Uaso Ngiro Baboon Project 🐒🐒🐒

Excited to have been awarded this grant for our project on the holistic assessment of wild baboon welfare! It’s great that Wild Animal Initiative | @wildanimalinitv.bsky.soc is supporting research into this important and under-researched topic 🔎🐒

Finally after the long drought the baboons are having babies again! Here’s Kacey (KC) with her day-old boy. His code is KL, what should we name him? You can also “adopt” him through the Venmo link below: if you donate $50 you get to name him and receive regular updates!

A new article by Dr. Shirley C Strum, founder of the UNBP, reviewing her 50-year career as a “baboon watcher”🐒👀 Confessions of a baboon watcher: from inside to outside the paradigm. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Male #baboons have a bad reputation as being aggressive and despotic, but they can be very gentle and tolerant, especially towards youngsters - to the point of letting them stand on their heads! Pictured here are Yves and infant Bogart2, 📷 by Butu. #gentlegiants

The first group of U.S. National Science Foundation #IRES students have landed in Kenya! We’re spending a few days in Nairobi before heading to the Uaso Ngiro Baboon Project and took the opportunity to check out the National Museums of Kenya 🇰🇪

Our co-Directors Monica Wakefield and Corinna Most received a grant from Wild Animal Initiative | @wildanimalinitv.bsky.soc to study welfare in wild olive baboons. Here’s to a great field season! 🥂

Excited to share that Andrew Somerville & I received word that our edited volume is published & available to order! This volume is aimed at students & archaeology practioners interested in using isotopes as a tool to investigate past human behavior. link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Looking forward to participating as a speaker rather than a student! I’ll be discussing the evolution of human inter-birth intervals from a comparative perspective - spoiler alert: other apes are not great models for this trait…

What a fantastic group of students, we couldn’t have asked for a better team for our first year of the @nsfgov #IRES and we can’t wait to see what they accomplish next! Applications for next year open soon, contact Dr. Most Corinna Most for more info. #fieldwork #primatology
