I first met Moses in 2019, when he was still in primary school & I started to help him before the creation of @omwana-charity.bsky.social

Today he is benefiting from our #charity to access #education in Secondary school and I'm so proud of his progress and so moved by his message 🤍
Today, we’re sharing a message from Moses, a pupil supported by our #Charity . Thanks to your generosity, he has the opportunity to go to school & build a brighter future. Your support truly changes lives. Thank you for believing in them.

#ASABWinter2024 Today @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social gave an amazing & inspiring plenary talk about language barriers & English-language dominance in research, pointing out that 95% of the 8 billion people in the world are non-native English speakers.
Look at these few examples they (we) are facing.

Great summary of our recent paper 🙏🏼
For chimpanzees in the Bugoma forest (Uganda), nesting on the ground is relatively common (21%). Interestingly, this is dangerous for them, the authors speculate that it is a cultural behavior that resists change

Ground nests represent 5-10% of nesting habits in chimpanzees. At #Bugoma 🇺🇬 21% of the chimps' overnight nests are built on the ground, which is the highest level reported so far.

Chimpanzees make tactical use of high elevation in territorial contexts
Use of high elevation in warfare requires high cognitive skills but is not uniquely human. This study shows that wild chimpanzees can detect their enemies from afar by exploiting hilltops in their top...
