🚨ESLR Workshop: 🗓 March 26, 2026 ⏰ 2pm CET Online Code review in practice: A checklist for computational reproducibility and collaborative research in ecology & evolution by @fhillemann.bsky.social Our first skill-sharing session of the spring! 🐣 🔗 Join: calendar.app.google/3gjfLpKW4mW2...

My colleague, Charles Perreault, has published cool new paper documenting impact of culture on human capacity for adaptation: http//www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.1073/pnas.2523038123

Interested in the Big Questions of human evolution, culture and society? In the Vienna area? Come join my colloquium at the Konrad Lorenz Institute on March 26 at 15:00. I will be speaking on: The Science of an Evolutionary Transition in Humans kli.ac.at/en/events/ev... Also online.

🤩PREPRINT OUT! Using our causal model of 👫 growth, we test if model can estimate growth trajectories of pops. of 🚸 of uncertain age using cross-sectional data. Results: our model provide accurate estimates providing a solution for bioarcheological and other contexts! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

What a great addition to the existing literature! I wonder what's next, could an abm be brewing?

Everyone needs colleagues that appreciate the need to judge cakes, here in Danish festelavnsboller style

Very much looking forward to the upcoming Garrod Seminar Series themed 'Artificial Intelligence & the Past's Future' with some fantastic speakers (see below!). You can attend the seminar series online via Zoom (registration link: talks.cam.ac.uk/show/index/1...) - starting this Thursday!

Bayesian Workflow by Andrew Gelman, Aki Vehtari, @rmcelreath.bsky.social with @danpsimpson.bsky.social, @charlesm993.bsky.social, @yulingy.bsky.social, Lauren Kennedy, Jonah Gabry, @paulbuerkner.com, @modrakm.bsky.social, @vianeylb.bsky.social (in production, estimated copy-editing time 6 weeks)

Improving scientific practice can seem daunting. In this fantastic talk (and thread below), Julia Rohrer shares practical ways to communicate methodological insights to a wider audience of researchers.

🚨Job alert! The ENDOW project is hiring a Research Officer in Research Database Management, to be based at @lsemethodology.bsky.social. Oversee & expand our database & contribute to research on social & economic inequality. Deadline 15 February. Share & reach out! jobs.lse.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/...

📢 Here is my commentary about the pitfalls of taking an impoverished evolutionary approach to culture, which include 'the limitations of a unidirectional model of evolution' and 'the neglect of niche construction theory'. #ehbea #evolution #psychscisky 🧪 🧵 1/2 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
