Why Is Irene Pepperberg Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Irene Maxine Pepperberg is an American scientist noted for her studies in animal cognition, particularly in relation to parrots. She has been a professor, researcher and/or lecturer at multiple universities, and she is currently a research associate and lecturer at Harvard University. Pepperberg also serves on the Advisory Council of METI . She is well known for her comparative studies into the cognitive fundamentals of language and communication, and she was one of the first to work on language learning in animals other than human species , by extension to a bird species. Pepperberg is also active in wildlife conservation, especially in relation to parrots.
