I am a PhD student at the Wildlife Research Center and Department of Primatology at Kyoto University. I study the social lives and minds of lutungs (Trachypithecus spp.), with a focus on the limestone langurs (T. francoisi group). I am also an animal rights advocate and proponent of the compassionate conservation movement (sensu lato). I also like to draw and occasionally make things of clay, but not too often, because you'll have dry hands for at least a week. If you want to procrastinate on whatever you ought to do instead, here's my website: https://www.brendadegroot.com
