In the News | Lunch Break Science
The Leakey Foundation is thrilled to congratulate Dr. Eduardo Fernandez-Duque for receiving The John P. McGovern Award Lecture in the Behavioral Sciences from the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Leakey Foundation grantee Dr. Eduardo Fernandez-Duque is Professor of Anthropology and the School of the Environment at Yale University. His research examines the behavioral, psychological, and ecological correlations of male-female relationships, pair bonding, sexual selection, and parental care in three primate species; titis, sakis, and owl monkeys. This research takes him to the Tiputini Biodiversity Station in the Ecuadorian Amazon, the ranch Estancia Guayolec in Formosa, Argentina, and primate facilities in the United States.

They also work to educate the people of the Argentinean Chaco about the region’s incredible biodiversity and the importance of protecting it.
Dr. Fernandez-Duque will share his fascinating research and significant contributions to the international scientific community in the December 17th episode of Lunch Break Science.
