Our guest this week is Dr. Lauren Robinson. As a postdoc at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria, Lauren studies cooperation and partner roles in canids – particularly with North American Grey Wolves. Lauren joins us to discuss how she uses her background in psychology in her animal research, describes navigating through scientific research in another country, and shares a little about what we might learn from the social behavior of wolves.

#ScientistOutLoud
We found Lauren (and many other scientists) on #sciencetwitter.  Throughout season 13, we will be showcasing some of these scientists and their work.
