My last day as EIC of @evanthro! Thanks to the authors, reviewers, and Ed Board who contributed to the journal these last 6 yrs. I learned a lot and made some mistakes along the way (being EIC is not easy). But I think I’m a better scientist and mentor for it. @jasonkamilar

wonderful piece by Setchell, Unwin, & Cheyne in @evanthro on Mental health in primatology: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100… "We need to discuss mental health more often, include all primatologists, and involve mental health experts in this discussion."

@Anthrofuentes @KevinDHunt Book reviews are opinion pieces, and not necessarily opinions that are widely shared. In any case, thanks for raising the issue of Indigenous knowledge. I’m logging off for the night. Sorry for the trouble.

@Anthrofuentes @KevinDHunt not a complement, but a "slam" that I considered relatively minor, especially because I'm not sure how many bio anthro folks hold Popper as the gold standard for the definition of science. Plus, it was a one off comment in a long book review on a different topic. In any case,...
