Open House for prospective grad students at Purdue University

Considering a PhD in anthropology? If you're in the Midwest consider swinging by Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana to attend the Purdue Anthropology Graduate Program Open House on November 11, 2011. Purdue is the home of some really great primatology research by Melissa Remis and her students, including Brandi Wren who as a graduate student started a fantastic primatological field school in South Africa.

Andrea Holmes - awesome person - just finished her MA!

Andrea Holmes just completed the masters program in anthropology at Northern Illinois University.

In her words:
"My thesis is entitled "Prey Item Handling by Captive Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)" and my advisor was Dr. Leila Porter. I'm currently preparing a manuscript of my study for publication--the specific journal has yet to be decided. In the fall, I'll be attending Purdue University and working with Dr. Melissa Remis on regurgitation/reingestion in captive gorillas."

Congratulations Andrea on successfully completing your masters degree and pursuing your doctorate in biological anthropology. Best of luck on your journey!
