Happy to share my third PhD paper, now out in Behavioral Ecology! It shows how wild Arabian babblers learn a new foraging skill and how learning spreads through the group in complex, mutual ways rather than by simple copying of a demonstrator. 👉https://t.co/nT3NOfgdfJ

Giving more attention to individuals in similar settings may be an adaptive strategy directing social learners to focus on ecologically relevant behaviours and on tasks that are likely to be learned successfully.
Interestingly, the action of cover opening was learned faster with paired rather than action-only demonstration despite being equally demonstrated in both.
We studied how different types of social demonstration improve house sparrows' success in solving a foraging task requiring both action and associative learning.
Raz is 5. Aviv is 2.
Both little girls are being held captive by Hamas in Gaza.
Raz and Aviv have been away from home two weeks now. Enough is enough. Add your voice. Demand their return.

"I was born at the heart of Hamas leadership and I know them very well. They don't care for the Palestinian people. They are using the Palestinian cause only to achieve their goals, transforming the Middle East and the world into an Islamic state."
Last night, an Islamic Jihad rocket fired from a cemetery behind a hospital in Gaza misfired—and hit the Al Ahli Hospital, killing innocent Palestinian civilians.
Want the evidence? Buckle up for a thread.
Run it by an OSINT expert if you don't believe me.⬇️
Dear fellow Arabs: There is no amount of injustice that has befallen us or Palestinians, past or present, that justifies #Hamas randomly and cold blooded-ly killing #Israel party goers, families in their houses, people going around minding their own business.
“No soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another,” Quran 18:1.
Please stop digging yourselves into deeper ethical holes by trying to justify, contextualize, or explain this crime. Instead, denounce it outright.

More than 350 of my fellow faculty @Harvard have delivered this open letter to the Harvard community this morning unequivocally denouncing the mass murder and kidnapping of noncombatants and rejecting the false equivalence between war crimes and self-defense. https://t.co/MPLT2RkA00
Tonight is the 4th night our babies will spend in Gaza.
We do not know if they were harmed, injured, or even if they are still alive.
This is the time to support Israel. Do everything you can to save our children, elders, men, and women from Hamas, a terrorist ISIS-like organization.
Don't look away.
Please share this.

Some of us have decided to read text messages sent from the last moments of people’s lives in Israel. Yes, this is disturbing and heartbreaking, but it’s something I have decided to do in hopes it can continue to convey the depth of pain and suffering the Jewish people and the Israeli population are experiencing as we defend our right to exist. #TheLastMessage #HamasisISIS
