Happy to share this recent publication from data collected while I was a research assistant at Brookfield Zoo Chicago. We examined whether animals display stereotypic behaviors interchangeably by looking at pacing and route tracing in two polar bears 🐻‍❄️ Check it out!

I had a great time at the PSGB winter conference where I presented on the development of a novel judgement bias task in apes and it was so rewarding to share the first major findings from my thesis.
Thank you to the organizers and presenters for an engaging conference a fun location🐒❄️
