Question: Would you ever work with Lewis or Jess in their proffessions

Ian Hands-Portman answered on 12 Mar 2014:

Of course – my work relies on people bringing me things to look at. I’d be more likely to work with Jess just because I get biomedical materials quite often – usually tiny capsules of oil or plastic that could be used to contain a drug and only release it at the right spot.

Lewis is less likely to need a powerful microscope to study chimp behaviour but I do get occasional samples to check for diseases – not from apes yet though. I am jealous of his easy access to primates..
