We might even have some special collaborations to announce for our @Me__Human @glastonbury @GlastoScience residence.... 🤫😁😆
We've been quiet on Twitter but that doesn't mean we've not been scheming our 2023 #SciComm events!🥼🧪🧬🧠
Watch this space for more info of #MeHuman
@glastonbury @GlastoScience & @royalsociety Summer Science Exhibition -showcasing @LeverhulmeTrust & @NERCscience research! 🎇

The @Me__Human team showcased THREE female professors and talented postdoc 'Dr Numbers' @GeorgeItanod for our packed Psyched! @bluedotfestival show on the #evolution #development #neuroscience of #language - BLAH BLAH BLAH 🗣️

The @Me__Human #SoapboxShorts were a super hit on the Big Bang Stage @bluedotfestival. @HBallieux gives an illuminating talk on how our visual reality relies on our brain predicting the future based on past experiences @UoWPsych @bbkpsychology @CityUniLondon @BirkbeckUoL

Thank you @ForresterGilly and @Me__Human for the opportunity to talk science to so many people, @bluedotfestival was outstanding. See you next year (maybe with less rain this time…)

Our newest @Me__Human team member @OOssmy gave a fabulous #SoapboxShorts talk called 'Babies, Robots & In Between' @bluedotfestival @bbkpsychology @BirkbeckBabylab 👶🤖🧠

Not even the torrential rain could keep folks away from @drtrude's @Me__Human #SoapboxShorts talk on the 'Neuroscience of Mindfulness and Music' @bluedotfestival 🧠🎶🎵

We lucked out to steal @erocdrahs to compere our @Me__Human #Psyched shows @bluedotfestival. His own talk on #deepfake and #Artificial_Intelligence was a festival favourite!

I love watching video for coding and catching special moments you miss when filming. See Kibriah's first encounter with the cog puzzle. Of the great apes, the #Orangutan were the the most intuitive tool users in our study @TwycrossZoo @SharonRedrobe @WelfareScience @GeorgeItanod

Like humans this #orangutan mum is patient with the littles -allowing them to observe and even tolerating them joining in even when there is a valuable food reward at stake- so important for learning and might help explain why orangutans are so clever! @TwycrossZoo @GeorgeItanod

Evidence of social learning in #chimpanzees? Watch these friends @TwycrossZoo work on the flat maze. Pay attention to their hand gestures towards each other #cooperation #collaboration #friendship @LeverhulmeTrust @GeorgeItanod @SharonRedrobe @WelfareScience @Ben_garrod

Watch the very clever 4 year old Kayan🦧 solve the rocker puzzle (she's pre-set the rocker in the correct direction) in double-time before her pesky cousin Basuki comes to steal the spoils! @TwycrossZoo @GeorgeItanod @SharonRedrobe @WelfareScience #orangutan @LeverhulmeTrust

Shufai climbs to top of sleeping quarters to play most difficult puzzle -shows frustration same way we do -a scratch and a slap😂He continued to challenge himself until he successfully solved the box @LeverhulmeTrust @GeorgeItanod @SharonRedrobe @WelfareScience #gorilla #primate

Only a true woman of science, like Tibs, could invent this shrewd cheat technique! #Gorilla #Primates #Cousins @portlympnepark @AspinallCharity @LeverhulmeTrust @GeorgeItanod #InternationalDayOfWomenInScience
Sound on to hear the rewarding CRUNCH! 🦍🦍🦍

You know when Tibs is serious about her work- she adds a little cushion to her seat! 😂

It's difficult to capture #gorilla vocalisations -listen for Tibs's satisfied grunts when she knows she's solved it-somewhere between a chuckle and back-off I've got food?! Other translations @4Apes @Ben_garrod? @AspinallCharity @LeverhulmeTrust @GeorgeItanod
Rewarding CRUNCH🦍

Does observing failed attempts by a group member help the observer succeed? @TwycrossZoo @LeverhulmeTrust @GeorgeItanod @bbkpsychology @BirkbeckUoL @SharonRedrobe @WelfareScience #gorilla #animal #behaviour #primate #cognition #strategy

Tibs remembered the solution to the puzzle box after 6 months -didn't skip a beat! Even pre-set rocker to correct direction so she did't lose nut in trap. #gorilla #primate #cognition #problemsolving #memory #tooluse @AspinallCharity @BirkbeckUoL @LeverhulmeTrust @bbkpsychology
