This ones for Jim

Walking in the forest today in sweltering heat around 10:00am, Surasack said to me: "It's very hot, in two or three hours, it will rain". 12:06pm the rains came... HARD! Walking out of the forest today in the pouring rain around 12:45pm, Surasack said to me: "Remember I told you, in two hours it will rain. I'm just like your younger brother." :)

I found your blog from doing a Google search on Gary Larson (you used his famous and very funny "Jane Goodall tramp" cartoon). Your writings and sidebars are quite interesting. Is there an info page where a person could find out more about you and your work? Like: who is this person writing these things and getting bitten by these strange creatures and why does she need a new wall in her kitchen?

Awesome!! Weather is cool. I remember being there and seeing several days of thunderstorms happening around us, but it waited until our last day to actually rain on us! I wish I would experience a monsoon, that would be on my list of things to do in this lifetime! :P Tell Surasack he certainly knows his stuff.

Life Under the Canopy - Survival Tips for Primate Research.

All too often students begin fieldwork full of anticipation and high hopes for big adventure, only to end up burned out and on their way home within a month. This has inspired me to write a post about what it takes to survive primate behavioural research for people who may be considering taking this "road less traveled by" in the future. I won't water it down for you; primate research is not for everyone. Fieldwork is an uphill road, overloaded with obstacles that will test your personal strength every step of the way. (Perhaps there's a reason we opted to leave the forest and culture up our lives, oh so many years ago :). But if you've got what it takes to push yourself beyond the comforts of the average everyday world, and you're interested in finding out just how strong an individual you really are, then studying primates is one of the most inspirational and rewarding jobs available! Think you've got what it takes? Here are my tips for what it

Jane Goodall, Gibbons, and A Little Girl’s Dream.

Many people ask me how I got into studying gibbons for a living, and quite honestly there is no direct answer to that question, because it wasn’t a direct route. When I was growing up in Burlington, I wanted to be many things: first on the list (so I’m told by my parents) was a “ballerina hockey player” but that’s too far back for me to even remember saying, and I don’t really dance or skate these days so that was probably a bit of a stretch. One clear target that I do know from as far back as I can remember is that I always wanted to get my PhD. By the time I was about 4 or 5 years old, I had firmly established in my mind that I wanted to be called “Dr. Prime” when I grew up because that’s my Dad’s name (he has a PhD in chemistry), and I wanted to be like my Dad. So from the moment I first started school until this very day, that destination has always firmly held the course, and thus likely guided the navigation parameters since then. The rest of the story follows with many sente
