Jackie Prime Project - We're starting to grow...

Hey Everyone,

It's social media mania for the Jackie Prime Project these days! We're still a small organization but getting bigger everyday! And we need YOUR help. Please, spread the word! We've got new "Share It" buttons and a new "Jackie Prime Project Facebook Page" (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jackie-Prime-Project/128310613902170) to help keep you connected to Jackie, learn more about gibbons, and help stimulate interest in our planet and connect people with nature.

Remember, the Jackie Prime Project (http://www.jackieprime.org/) has three divisions (all of which you can link to through this blog at any time through the sidebar links):

PRIME EARTH - It's life, as we know it. Be inspired to find your passion and your place in the world by following Jackie and her brother Jim as they chronicle their experiences in our Prime Earth Video Logbook.

UP IN THE TREES - Learn all about gibbons and siamangs and find out how you can help save these magnificent creatures from extinction through our gibbon research/conservation efforts.

UNDER THE CANOPY - Want to know what life is like as a primatologist? Join Jackie as she treks through the rainforest in Thailand studying white-handed gibbons and pig-tailed macaques. (http://www.prime-jm.blogspot.com/)

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!

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
