Emily Woodall
I am an undergraduate student at Emory College of Arts and Sciences, majoring in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology with a minor in Neuroethics. As an undergraduate research assistant in the Anthropology Primatology Lab, I work with health data sets, checking and analyzing information to support ongoing research. My research interests span from social behavior to animal […]
Cade Quinto
I am a sophomore in the Emory College of Arts and Sciences. Currently, I am a volunteer who works primarily with weekly and daily chimp health data sets. I hope to work more with the data to understand the intricacies of primatology better.
Grace Cayless
I am a senior at Emory, majoring in Anthropology & Human Biology with a minor in Global Health. I joined Dr. Lonsdorf’s lab in my second year, working with health data and creating health records for individual chimpanzees, before transitioning to the mother-infant data set. Currently, I’m interested in examining risks faced by chimpanzee infants […]
Nicole Furgala
I am broadly interested in the evolutionary origins of social cognition and Theory of Mind using interdisciplinary methods in evolutionary anthropology and comparative psychology. Using behavioral experiments and eye tracking technology, I am investigating the perspective-taking capacities of captive tufted capuchin monkeys at the Language Research Center (GSU). By translating experiments into the wild, I […]
Giuliana Centofanti
I am interested in sociality and development in wild chimpanzees, specifically within the mother-infant context. During my graduate studies, I plan to study orphan outcomes and adoption as part of a larger project on sociality and variation in development. I am particularly interested in quantifying outcomes of development by directly and indirectly measuring fitness. Creating […]
