Daniella is a freshman intending to major in Psychology at the University of Michigan. This is her first year with the Cognitive Evolution Group and she is excited to learn about the behavior and cognition of non-human primates. Her plans for this year include exploring how research works and learning as much as she can.

Isabelle is a Junior studying Ecology, Evolution, and Biodiversity as well as Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience. She is interested in animal behavior, both from an ecological and cognitive perspective. Isabelle is excited to work with the Cognitive Evolution Group this semester and hopes to continue this type of research in the future.
Charlie graduated from Tufts University in 2023 with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Biological Anthropology. She has studied social behavior in wild chimpanzees and captive gorillas, along with chimpanzee tool use. Her research interests include human evolution and behavior, and how animal evolution and behavior can inform our understanding of humans.
