Thanks to @[email protected] for including my thoughts in this piece on animals' responses to death. That pull quote, "Grief is not just a human thing," is mine. Good perspectives from primatology colleagues in here too! https://www.popsci.com/environment/animal-death-rituals/ #animals #grief #death #science #primates #primatology #anthropology

Last night I spoke to and with animal activists about the intersection of other-than-human-animal grief, human grief, and ecological grief, and how we can, in community, help each other as we attempt to help others. The video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anKZn7ruLvw #animals #anthropology #activism #animalactivism #animalrights #climatecrisis #grief #ecologicalgrief

Thrilled that this short animation based around my work on animal grief is now live. The animation division of TED, at TED-Ed, invited me to collaborate with their team in bringing out some of the animal-grief science and my ideas on why knowing this information matters for treatment of animals. I worked with a brilliant animator, Denis Chapon! Have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sNpMb4M7XM #animals #anthropology #grief #animalwelfare #animalrights #animation #TED

Writing about animal cognition and emotion, and the ethics of how we do and SHOULD treat animals, is incredibly sustaining and important to me. I hope to interact with the writing community here! Here are my three most recent books. How Animals Grieve is definitely the most well-known. Though I write non-fiction exclusively, I read a ton of fiction, too. #writer #writing #writingcommunity #amreading #books #animals #nature #primates #birds #cephalopods #anthropology #science #gender #maskup
