Book your free place on any of our 'My Psychology' lectures @SussexUni @Sussex_Psych. These are great public talks celebrating the backlog of professorships appointed during covid. I'm hoping to see lots of familiar faces at my talk in May!😊 .

Didn't expect to see Mimosa pudica in Gabon! First formally described by Carl Linnaeus in Species Plantarum 1753. The name is Latin for shame, bashful, or shrinking, -commonly known as the sensitive plant, action plant, humble plant, shameplant, and touch-me-not. So cool!

Enjoy a night of pure geekery? Please come along to an evening of unnecessary detail @cockpittheatre presented by @FOTSN on 10th Feb. I might be dragging a couple of audience members up for a live demo🙈.

What a lovely view descending into Libreville Gabon 🇬🇦 🌅

Some scenes from yesterday. a baby impala was born, we collected our first test data with our chimp friends and we ended the day with a beautiful sunset #Gabon #primate #research #stress #wellbeing #thermography #conservation @SussexUni @Sussex_Psych

Everyone came out of the forest to see what all of the fuss was about today. #primate #research #stress #wellbeing #conservation @SussexUni @Sussex_Psych

Good morning from Gabon 🇬🇦 - today we are testing our recoding devices to examine natural stresses using thermography #happywednesday #research #primate @SussexUni

Jojo is a stunning western lowland gorilla - rehabilitating in a sanctuary after being kept as a pet for years. Currently living a solitary life - but with hope for a brighter future and a family of his own #primates #research #stress #wellbeing @SussexUni

conversations with my husband 😂

These chimp people are phenomenally intelligent and resilient, struggling to survive through incredible adversity - thinking, feeling and behaving in much the same way as human people. It is a privilege to observe them #primate #research #conservation @SussexUni @Sussex_Psych

This chip has definitely found a perfect fit for Sunday relaxation in Gabon! #research #primates #conservation @SussexUni @sussex_psych
