Month of primates with an international twist
By Debra Durham • Jul 29th, 2008 • Category: Lead StoryI really enjoyed the Month of Elephants series that started back in May so I’ve decided (with some encouragement from readers) to do a Month of Primates series starting August 1st. I’ll be scouring the web, my shelves and looking forward to your suggestions for primate related content all month.
The series will have an interesting international twist! I will be attending the International Primatological Society meetings in Edinburgh Scotland from the 3rd through the 8th of August. This is a big bi-annual convention where primatologists from all over the world get together to talk about their latest theories and findings. I will be posting primate topics from the meeting and even trying some new formats: Live blogging, audio and video. To accommodate this ambitious project, I’ll be making some changes to the appearance of the blog, especially the front page. These are new technologies for me, so I’d love suggestions, tips and hacks (and will appreciate your patience with my learning curve).
T minus 3 days and counting!
Wow — have a great trip! I am looking forward to reading your posts about the conference and about primates. I found a kids’ picture book about bonobos at the library the other day. Goofy book, but it did talk about some of the differences between bonobos and chimps, plus it was written by my old college professor.
