Ready, Steady, Learn w/ Romana Grubner: February 12, 2019

The University of Auckland's PhD candidate Romana Grubner (also featuring in Animal Minds) is focused on studying the New Caledonian crow, you know, the crow with tool-making and problem solving abilities. While being compared to the way humans play chess, the crow collects tools and plans out a sequence of behaviours before taking on a task. Wowee, very fascinating stuff!
