The third meeting of the Northeastern Evolutionary Primatologists (NEEP) was hosted by Yale University in New Haven, CT on October 27 and 28, 2017. Eduardo Fernandez-Duque and Claudia Valeggia organized the event and gave NEEP members the opportunity to explore the Biological Anthropology Lab during a preconference. There were approximately 120 attendees, including undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and faculty (Figure 1). In keeping with the spirit of NEEP’s founding, most of the presentations were given by students and recent graduates. NEEP’s main objectives are to provide professional experience for early-career academics, as well as an opportunity for them to network with researchers from a variety of institutions and subfields of primatology. The setting is small, allowing everyone to engage in great discussion with new and former colleagues.
