Interview: Rhythm and sea lions
Added 2025-05-09 12:00:11 +0000 UTCI called up Peter Cook, a cognitive scientist and professor of Marine Mammal Science at the New College of Florida to talk about a special sea lion named Ronan. His study, published recently in Nature Scientific Reports, pits Ronan against 10 undergraduate students at UC Santa Cruz in a test of beat keeping.
I used a small portion of our conversation in a Howtown short, but I thought it was so interesting that I'd share the whole interview with ya'll. Check out video clips from the study here and here.
