CareerWorking with colleagues from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, she spent 10 months in the Democratic Republic of Congo studying bonobos, a species of great ape as genetically close to humans as the Common Chimpanzee, in order to make comparisons between the behaviors of humankind and ape.[7][8][9][10][11] She wrote an in-depth report on killer bees encountered during her studies in Costa Rica,[12] and has also written a piece on the yearly cherry blossom experience in Kyoto, Japan.[13] Partial bibliography
