@EffersonCharles @mmuthukrishna @heclausanne Thank you, @effersonCharles! I'm super grateful for your support and guidance. BSE (Best Supervisor Ever) 😊And special thanks to @mmuthukrishna and Christian Zehnder for their invaluable help. Excited for the future! #PostDocTime

Yesterday, Dr Lisa Faessler (@LisaFaessler) successfully defended her PhD thesis on cultural evolution with an emphasis on organizational applications. Congratulations, Lisa! Thank you to @mmuthukrishna and Christian Zehnder. @heclausanne

With spatial RDD, @LisaFaessler, @rlalive, and I examine how cultural variation within Switzerland shapes support for policies affecting fertility and health. Special issue of @Journal_EHS on causal inference. tinyurl.com/2pmyuwfn

@bfrund @unil Excellente initiative ! 🚂 Est-ce que les budgets conférence pour le corps intermédiaire seront adaptés ? Les prix des billets sont malheureusement (encore) incomparables. 💸

With a ⭐ supervisor. ✉️ Don't hesitate to contact me if you would like to know more about what it looks like doing a PhD in @heclausanne with @EffersonCharles. 😊

Cultural evolution is diverse and this is where the fun lies. 🤗 😬🐒🐦🧩🔎📊🧬

Cultural evolution is the new behavioral economics (?) 😃🤭

Guess where I am to present current project on the Rostigraben and the causal effect of culture? 😃 #freeHS3 joint work with @EffersonCharles & Rafael Lalive 🗝️ Hint: the food is awesome 🧀 (and the answer is actually written on the building)

@evogom @LucyMAplin Bravo ! 🥳🐦🐥

😬 My face in the fall newsletter of the amazing @ESLRSociety. (Yes, with exactly this smile 😬)

@josh_c_jackson @svenkasser I can only agree. Happy to take up the challenge and provide empirical evidence of cultural evolution mechanisms in the field! 🤓 #WorkinProgress

@SBMost @Brooks_Rob That is true! The talk was brilliant, and I have now very high expectations for your next one. 😁

@Brooks_Rob Trouble is that you're too good. So our expectations of you get higher each time!

Why do my pre-talk nerves get worse every time I talk? I've been doing this for decades FFS!

🚂 On my way to #CESconf2022! Arrival in Aarhus in +20h, right on time for @ESLRSociety satellite event! 😃

🏅Delighted to have received Best poster award (and delicious chocolate! 🍫😋) at the @ESLRSociety workshop. Had fantastic time chatting science, ice-fishing, and bird song modeling. Thank you so much for the organization! @AnadSPinho @andrea_gradassi @Abdulshir

@schimmelrob Where is my money?

Compensating people (small 💰) for good actions can decrease good actions, because being paid reduced the moral motivation ("crowding out"). But if you pay these people big 💰, they forget about reduced moral virtue and continue to do good things. We are a weird species...

@aysha_bellamy @ehbea2022 @EffersonCharles @stefaniainn @RHULPsychology Congratulations Aysha! 😍🎉

The 😸 out the bag would've loved to go @ehbea2022 but it clashed with my defence! Glad to announce I passed with minor 🥳🍾 Thanks @EffersonCharles Ryan McKay for being great supervisors, Rob Lachlan @stefaniainn for being great examiners & @RHULPsychology for being great 🏫🤗

@bxjaeger @markvanvugt1 So the 🐶 is just here to draw attention? .. well, it worked! 😊

🐶New paper out with @markvanvugt1🐶 We take an evolutionary perspective to explain why our altruistic acts often fail to maximize others' welfare. doi.org/10.1016/j.cops…

You certainly don't want to miss this #ehbea2022 talk. Nor the one that comes right before (12:00) where I will be presenting my last experiment on success imitation (which could easily be much more complex than we thought... 😎)

Unfortunately, he cannot attend my amazing talk on success imitation complexity tomorrow at 12:00 😇 (but I can assure you that he already knows the presentation by heart ♥️)

🐕 I heard you would like to see more pictures of the #EHBEA2022 furry participants, here is a rather intrusive one.

@caninecognition My dog would choose me, but I would also choose my dog rather than a piece of sausage. We match well 😎

Does your dog love you more than a piece of sausage? After 5 hrs alone with no food, we gave 10 dogs a choice between owner and food: 8 chose their owners. Of 6 hand-reared wolves, only 1 chose its special person. What does your dog choose? peerj.com/articles/12834…
