Rounded off the CBEN & @ehbea.bsky.social conferences in Leiden with a bike ride to the coast, running into some fine floral displays on the way

First time in Leiden, and my first academic talk at @ehbea2026.bsky.social. Grateful to @ehbea.bsky.social for the Student Travel Grant and for a conference and community that was genuinely welcoming 🧵

@brunelcce.bsky.social was well-represented at #ehbea2026. @replicatedtypo.bsky.social presented on ‘The cultural evolution of problem-solving’ and @abbeyepage.bsky.social on ‘When the village predicts the next baby: post-natal social support and fertility intentions in the UK’ (sadly no pic)

Here’s Matt presenting that #ehbea2026 poster on ‘Sentiments, respect and the evolution of norm psychology’ (and the conference dinner location truly was gorgeous!) @brunelcce.bsky.social

Poster presentation at EHBEA 📊 I presented a poster on the underlying social, structural, and demographic drivers of economic-based support in a small-scale fishery of the Pantanal region in Brazil. See preprint here: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v... @ehbea.bsky.social @ehbea2026.bsky.social

A wonderful experience meeting the EHBEA community in Leiden for the first time. I am sincerely grateful to be awarded the EHBEA Student Grant, which covered my travel, accommodation, and attendance fees. Special thanks to the expert team of organisers — you know who you are @ehbea.bsky.social!

@ehbea2026.bsky.social that's a wrap! Amazing first @ehbea.bsky.social conference for me, full up with great talks and conversations, and scenery!? Did not expect a postcard beach sunset in Leiden 🤩

Had a wonderful time, thank you for having me!

Last day of conference! We had a wonderful day with amazing talks from @nicolewalasek.bsky.social and @nakedprimate.bsky.social ! We also had our Annual General Meeting, with a big round of applause for the Organising Committee and last words from @rebeccasear.bsky.social as president. #ehbea2026

Thank you to @rebeccasear.bsky.social for being an excellent President of @ehbea.bsky.social and for leading the EHBEA committee! The incoming President is @alexalvergne.bsky.social, who will also do an excellent job in this role. #ehbea2026

Awesome plenary from @nakedprimate.bsky.social at #ehbea2026, about gestures and storytelling, which started with a dawn drive in Chad and ended with a Douglas Adams quote perfectly encapsulating the process of science

It was really nice to attend the @ehbea.bsky.social and share the first results from my PhD project. It’s always good to connect with and learn from such talented and friendly people. #ehbea2026

Fabulous, wide-ranging plenary from @ehbea.bsky.social’s 2026 New Investigator winner Nicole Walasek at #ehbea2026. Her work on the evolution and development of sensitive periods highlighted the benefits of multi-species work and the importance of formal modelling of verbal theories 👏👏

Interesting presentation from Alexandros Gelastopoulos at #eheba2026 suggesting that the large difference in attention men and women get on dating apps may be an artefact of feedback dynamics that create large differences even if the underlying behaviour of groups is relatively similar

Great job by my PhD student Hannah Goodman presenting her work on the role of sexual selection in cross-cultural variation in extrasomatic ornamentation at #ehbea2026

Thank you so much tor inviting me to represent @manyprimates.bsky.social at #ehbea2026. A bit intimidating but very enjoyable to give my first talk as network co-coordinator.

Great panel discussion on team science and big datasets in comparative cognition at #ehbea2026
