🚨FAILURE!!!🚨 Something we've probably all come across in our research! Great to discuss this topic in the open! Null results are equally as important as significant findings! Spotted 2 @asab.org council members on the panel @viveknityananda.bsky.social @coldbloodedcog.bsky.social #Behaviour2025 🐅🇮🇳

Great key note lecture by Prof. Susan Alberts on their research into the Amboseli baboon troops 🐵 - early adversity experienced by mothers can predict infant mortality and strong father-daughter bonds are important for long-term survival. @behaviour2025.bsky.social @asab.org
