Your Brain Anatomy May Play a Role in Determining Your Food Choices

Structural imaging data from the first three experiments show that the volume of grey matter in the dlPFC and the vmPFC predicts the choice of healthful food items.

The research is in Jo…

For 60 years, archaeologists have been finding Pleistocene-era tools in the Philippines. But only this year has it become clear that hominins reached the islands more than 700,000 years ago. https://t.co/RQrreBICei

Tomorrow kicks off a special #OnThisDay series! On June 18, Darwin received a letter from halfway around the world that would change science forever. Starting tomorrow, I will share the crazy events that unfolded in a 3 part drama: Darwin's worst nightmare #StayTuned #histsci

Once again, a paper on brain size evolution that ignores all contradictory evidence from species of Homo with smaller brains. In @nature! This is just nuts, really 4 stages of evolution? https://t.co/vzaUyMMvBk

SMU invited me to give fun talk on tattooing, football, & hygiene hypothesis, where got to wear tie hand-painted by Exclusive at Off Da Rock with #Samoantatau design. Support more research & talks https://t.co/8uBb8ax7kt

We’re up to 50%! Thanks our donors so far! Please tell your friends! Tattooing is not just popular, it’s culture that impacts biology in meaningful ways. Help us understand how immune system responds & how we can use this to address autoimmune disease! https://t.co/8uBb8ax7kt

Please stop using “evolve” in everyday speech when you mean “progress” #scicommPSA

My seminar class in the fall is focusing on the topic of "Hominin extinction". I think we've reached a point where the sample size is large enough to address this question usefully.

[Tattooing & Human Nature @Inking_Immunity]

We think tattooing has benefits for immune function. We'll be collecting biological data before & after tattoos this summer. Please consider supporting Inking of Immunity project: https://t.co/ee5xKEvcI3. Photo of Su'a Wilson Fitiao.

I need some endorsements for my tattoo & immune response research. Who wants to volunteer to write 100 words talking about how valuable this work is? (pretty please & thank you)
