Cambridge_Uni nickyclayton22 What a bunch of bird brains
Cambridge_Uni nickyclayton22 😭😭
Cambridge_Uni nickyclayton22 Probably for the best.

Cambridge_Uni nickyclayton22 This is terrible. I’m so sorry for you and your lab, Nicky.
Cambridge_Uni nickyclayton22 One of clearest things I remember about my undergrad psychology degree from 20 years ago is the caching scrubjays and their episodic memory. Blew my mind. 🐦
