Maybe late to the starter pack game? But haven't seen one specific to those studying the evolution of social behaviour, so made one! Any study species; humans, primates and beyond. Added some initial people but please comment to be added. go.bsky.app/CibACbM

Part of the value of having the Biodiversity Monitoring starter pack is to profile early career researchers. Today’s ECR is @johnmartinsson.bsky.social Please read below and follow - his work sounds great 😊 go.bsky.app/eFMQQX

I created this stater pack with women in ecology and evolution. If you want to be added you can comment or DM me, but also please suggest the names of those I am missing 🧪🌎🌐 go.bsky.app/8jFH7cS

Thread presenting academic research on how social media creates outrage because users are 'rewarded' for creating outrage through engagement. People are asking how we can avoid? Obvious: by creating & engaging more with informative/balanced tweets. Surely that's possible?
