@rlmcelreath If the course is for future theoreticians it might be worth discussing different types of evolutionary singular strategies and pairwise invasibility.

Thinking about outline for my short evolutionary game theory course this fall. Just 5 weeks: 1.hawk-dove 2.prisoners dilemma & stag hunt 3.iterated hd, pd, sh 4.inclusive fitness 5.reproductive value, sex allocation, life history Alternative ideas?

@IlariaPretelli What a precise timing. Congratulations!

Ok, it's official. I handed in my dissertation today, after exactly 5 years from my first PhD day. Now I'm gonna breath 😃

Really interesting paper by the historian Cora Stuhrmann on why behavioural ecology, rather than sociobiology, is the legitimate heir to ethology. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

@acerbialberto Sedentary way of living and processed food

Are there historical examples of technologies/innovations that have been disrupting for humanity - for which no subsequent cultural adaptations worked, or worked very badly?

Why are pedigrees drawn with the ancestors at the top, but phylogenetic trees with ancestors at the bottom?

Does anyone know why these flamingos are feeding fish? Fixed action pattern caused by the fish mouth? Just drinking water to go with the dry food? Bored in the zoo?

@M_B_Petersen You assume that propaganda aim to make people flip their existing beliefs. But many propaganda target people with no prior knowledge on the subject, and/or use false narratives that are compatible or minimally counterintuitive to their existing beliefs.

Bans now limit Western access to Putin's propaganda. Most of us have no interest in propaganda. But there is reason to pause. Not only are bans out of sync with the science of misinformation. They may also be detrimental to our fight for democracy. An evidence-based 🧵 (1/16)

@Dang_Liu Cross-college program. We do various interdisciplinary stuff.

@_JustinYeh which department?

I am starting my new position at Cheng Kung University this week, as an assistant professor.

Huh? Twitter now prompts people to read before retweet? Seems like a great idea to combat clickbait, though I wonder: will surviving false information be harder to kill, or perhaps easier because people have more time to fact check and respond before they go viral?

@dominik_deffner @mcmc_stan I'd never trust that. There's gotta be something wrong in the output...

@fiona_jordan I knew I have to see this talk when I saw the title!

@MichelleAKline Yes, from gather town.

@_JustinYeh I'm having trouble finding the poster room, did you access it through gathertown or is there another link?

Checked out the virtual poster session at #CESConf2021 alone when Europeans and Americans were asleep. Less awkward than standing there alone irl lol.

Nice talk by Kevin Hong, which 1) used data from canonical Chinese history to infer why rain making rituals evolve, and 2) has dragons. #CESConf2021

Videos are up! Hours of great talks to watch!

@RebeccaSear Wow, that's a really bad design.
