Announcing such a major change to NSF GRFP this late in the cycle is incredibly cruel. 2nd yr students (mine included) have been working so hard on their proposals despite ongoing uncertainty. They are driven and passionate about being outstanding scientists and helping those coming up behind them.

This week we welcomed Salmah Jombela, our newest PhD student in the A.P.E lab. Salmah joins us from Uganda where she did amazing work on primate conservation in Kibale National Park! We are so excited for her to join our lab!

Did you know there’s no federal law regulating the private ownership of primates in the US? The Captive Primate Safety Act aims to change that. Join me in advocating for this legislation to protect primates from the pet trade. Urge lawmakers to support this legislation! www.lpzoo.org/help-us-save...

The Captive Primate Safety Act would prohibit the private possession, breeding, and sale of nonhuman primates at a federal level. It is about time we banned the primate pet trade in the U.S.

Captive Primate Safety Act aims to curb illegal pet trade in the U.S.
Wildlife trafficking is one of the world's biggest illegal trades, and the U.S. creates much of the demand for pet primates. Now there's a proposed ban on privately owning and breeding these animals.

Do chimpanzees use the onset of rains as indicators of termite fishing season? At Issa they do! Team Phillips, Oelze et al. strike again!
