Start your PhD with W.E.E.

Dani Rabaiotti joins me from London to discuss her research on climate change impacts in African wild dogs, as well as her interests in science policy, and writing popular science books. This episode's Paper in Focus is from Erin Kane, getting into her research on oral processing in Diana monkeys. Then, Dani and I are joined by Sam Helle and Ashwini Mohan to share our experiences of starting a PhD - in Sam's case, during a pandemic! Plus - some more of your "Elevator Pitches"!

Hosted, as always, by Kirsty MacLeod. Drop me a line anytime: hello[at]theweepodcast.org

Paper in Focus
Oral Processing Behavior of Diana Monkeys (Cercopithecus diana) in Taï National Park, Côte d’Ivoire

Elevator pitches: Jen Moss, Aparna Lajmi, Ellen Brandell, Catherine Young, Leila Fouda
