“Irene Pepperberg in Conversation”

Irene Pepperberg spent 30 years of her career working with Alex, the world’s most famous parrot. Her recent book, Alex and Me, offers both unique insights on the workings of the avian mind and a tribute to a beloved research partner. In her talk, Pepperberg shares research findings and thoughts on animal intelligence and, most crucially, humor, with Alison Cuddy, host of Chicago Public Radio’s Eight Forty-Eight.
