Thanks to @PopularScience for including my thoughts in this piece on animals' responses to death. That pull quote, "Grief is not just a human thing," is mine. Good perspectives from primatology colleagues in here too! https://www.popsci.com/environment/animal-death-rituals/
Thrilled that this short animation based around my work on animal grief is now live. The animation division of TED, at TED-Ed, invited me to collaborate with their team in bringing out some of the animal-grief science and my ideas on why knowing this information matters for treatment of animals. I worked with a brilliant animator, Denis Chapon! Have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sNpMb4M7XM
