Our DPhil student @sabinebeans reports from #RAIFF2021: 'My favourite @raifilmfest short this year was Abtin Sarabi's mesmerising "Land Lot S7" ("Parcelles S7"). Been thinking, reading, and writing a lot about sugar cane lately, and grateful to have added watching into the mix.'

[Laura Fortunato | evolutionary anthropologist @anthrolog]

Lots of food for thought 🧠 from Mon's discussion with @rlmcelreath, e.g. the idea that the published paper is only a snapshot of what we know on topic X at time of publication, not the "final word" on X 💡

Do check out the talk if you haven't already 💯

Iain will be desperately missed. A phenomenal researcher committed to equality and opportunities for all in the department. Kind, and incredibly enthusiastic about his work and teaching, a deep hole has been left in the Anthropology department.

[Emma Cohen @chammeeno]

This is utterly heartbreaking news. We have lost a colleague who was one of the very, very best. He gave so much and meant so much, particularly to evolutionary anthropology in the dept. I will miss you terribly, Iain. Your legacy and inspiration will live on.

Remembering our dear friend and colleague Dr Iain Morley

Congratulations to @oxford_anthro researchers @rosestevens8 and @AlexAlvergne, whose paper on contraceptive discontinuation has been published ➡️ https://t.co/jqEhWcM0Kt

[Rose Stevens @rosestevens8]

Our paper has been published in the #openaccess journal @Journal_EHS. We suggest predictions that future researchers could test. Takeaway: we must consider contraceptive use as a repeated dynamic process, where women make informed and reasonable choices.

[Rose Stevens @rosestevens8]

Our paper on evolutionary approaches to contraceptive discontinuation is out! Studies often look at why women start contraception. @AlexAlvergne & I propose new #evolutionary predictions to explain why they stop & the impact of socioecological context https://t.co/KJvnxjm9ey
