Do you know a budding primatologist? Are you looking for the perfect Christmas present? May I cheekily recommend #ChimpanzeeMemoirs: a collection of personal essays by primatologists reflecting on their varied career paths & what they learnt along the way cup.columbia.edu/book/chimpa…
ALT The book cover of Chimpanzee Memoirs. It features vibrant paintings of chimpanzees in lush foliage being observed by a person with binoculars. The book title reads: Stories of Studying and Saving Our Closest Living Relatives. Chimpanzee Memoirs. Edited by Stephen Ross and Lydia Hopper

As well as I knew him, I was still blown away listening to the impact he had with his uniquely effective combination of people, science, and advocacy skills. Yet an hour of content just scrapes the surface. Let’s all do @chimpfreq proud into the future.
#MPIG2022 Distinguished Primatologist was awarded to the late Steve Ross. A tribute by Mollie Bloomsmith, @EloLonsdorf, @KatieACronin, & John Mitani detailed his achievements as a protector of wild & captive chimps & as a mentor to many. His incredible kindness is deeply missed
