Outreach
Public Talks
A ~1 hour talk on the importance of natural history in primatological fieldwork, as part of the Primate Conversation Lecture Series at the University of Oxford.
A ~13 minute talk at the Explorers Club HQ in New York City in April 2024, where I discuss my research on wild chimpanzees and preview a short documentary I directed and produced with funding from the Explorers Club Expedition Grant.
