Guest on Prime Mates podcast - 5th time

Part B of my Q&A on Prime Mates podcast has been released. This is the last real episode of the show, before their finale live event and then a hiatus of indeterminate length.

Host Matt Stewart said that I was one of the most requested returning guests, which was a thrill to hear! He also asked that I appear on some of his other projects, such as other podcasts and a YouTube interview show. I would be happy to do any of them, and I hope I get the chance to try them out.

I'm sad that the podcast is taking a break - may this not be permanent!

Guest on Prime Mates podcast - 4th time

This week I returned as a guest on Prime Mates podcast. There was no theme this time, because it was a Q&A session with questions submitted by listeners.

There were so many questions, actually, that we didn't get through them all! I will be returning next week for part two of this episode.

I have so much fun doing these podcasts, so I am really pleased to return for more questions. I hope they go easy on me!

Quoted in New York Times

As I type, the Coronavirus is in the middle of changing the world. It seems like the details shift daily, and every industry and way of life have been affected.

For primate sanctuaries, the threats to their financial stability and to their workforce are compounded by the possibility that the virus could jump the species barrier and infect other primate species. It is currently assumed that chimpanzees could contract the virus, though there have not yet been documented cases of it. There have been cases of rhesus macaques contracting Coronavirus, however, which does not bode well for all the hundreds of species currently in the care of primate sanctuaries.

Accordingly, the sanctuaries are ramping up their safety precautions. I was happy to talk to the New York Times about how this is functioning because it is an incredibly important topic right now, and not something that the average person might consider. Read the article here.
