I am a graduate student working with Dr. Sarah Brosnan on issues of non-human primate behavioral economics. Currently, I am working on my dissertation, which explores gambling-type behaviors across three primate species (chimpanzees, capuchin monkeys and human children). I anticipate graduating in summer 2012.
I am also responsible for the maintanance of this website. Please let me know if
you see any problems or have any questions.
