The BITCH has landed. This is the book that took me over two years to write. In my actual hands. It documents how sexist bias polluted evolutionary biology & caused the female of the species to be marginalised & misunderstood by the scientific patriarchy. Out March 3rd #bitchbook

To mark the passing & collosal impact of Frans de Waal, I was asked to write a short piece for @ELSneuroscience. Frans was an amazing mentor & my longterm collaborator on ape empathy- he is greatly missed

Loved speaking at Oxford tonight. Feeling very lucky indeed.
Raced back to Oxford for a talk by @mslucycooke. Her book, Bitch, is a must read for any biologist so we continually challenge the biases that we bring to our research. Had a tiny fan girl moment when she signed my copy!
