Project Chickadee Team Members
Dr. Ben Basile – Visiting Professor
We’re happy to welcome a special guest, Dr. Ben Basile, to our lab this year. Ben is a visitor in the Psychological Science department at Vassar and has many years of experience in primate behavior research. He’s been busy teaching several classes, but has also been helping us to run behavioral experiments with our wild birds as part of team Chickadee. You can find out more about Ben here and here.
