Kenna spoke to Michigan Radio's Stateside with Cynthia Canty about her research and our crowdfunding efforts! Take a listen!

It was great speaking with Cynthia about my research our crowdfunding efforts. It was especially great to talk to her about getting the word out, past our personal networks of friends and family. We really want to get the word out to beyond those networks, to people that want to join us because they really believe in what we are doing and why we are doing it.

What are we doing?

We are bringing three underfunded scientists to a national symposium. These scientists would not be able to attend this symposium without the financial support being raised here.

Why?

Because we need their unique experiences and input to be incorporated in to the scientific framework we are building at this symposium. Otherwise, the collaborations that get started and the hypotheses that are developed there will suffer. We need to include the understanding of how spotted hyenas, dholes, and other species communicate and cooperate. We need the experience and knowledge of these scientists. We need this broad explanatory power to be able to understand how our own communication and cooperation evolved.

So please, if you have already donated, or can't afford to donate, you can still help us! Share our page with your network, help us get the word out!

About This Project

We investigate the communication of those social and intelligent mammal predators: wolves, coyotes, dogs, hyenas. By understanding how they cooperate to hunt large prey, we can learn more about how our own human language and society evolved, as well as developing new ways to live in harmony, rather than in conflict with these wild creatures.

We've organised a symposium of animal cognition researchers, and want help to bring scientists that don't have funds of their own to support collaboration.

Blast off!
