@jana_bacevic I spent the first two years of college in the U.S. on academic probation because I performed so poorly and couldn't really behave properly

@fiveoclockbot @UMinnPress As usual, there are several I want to read/teach!

@ambikamath Hi, this approach to achieving that integration might interest you: “Knowing Animals: Multispecies Ethnography and the Scope of Anthropology”, https://t.co/FYiTmEe7MA [this other link is ‘shareable’ if you can’t get past the paywall] https://t.co/yHLufcMogC

@jana_bacevic You know more than they do, that's why you'll be great at this lecture!

@SamTheAnthro What's the title? I'm writing on animal rituals currently. Thanks, John Hartigan

@lancegravlee what a nightmare! Yes, talking about this very subject with my large-enrollment class of 1st year students was energizing. But now they're all back home and who knows what they've retained...

[aesop's_anthro @aesopsanthro]

@lancegravlee I've been saying that for awhile.

@olea_morris Hi, sorry I missed your talk; arrived late. Thanks for posting all these reflections. It's sad to hear much of this, but I'll keep your tips in mind!

[aesop's_anthro @aesopsanthro]

@olea_morris I hope to make yours. I'm opposed to Ingold on various fronts. Rock on! John

@pgkeil I'll suggest my ethnography of wild horses in Spain, using various ethological methods, https://t.co/jDEckN6GnA

Sociality is an advantage for animals facing climate change: https://t.co/jL5D5vUxQ1; it's the "largely overlooked factor" driving high flexibility in social species; groups that cooperate critically affect survival and reproduction and ultimately affect adaptive capacity.

[aesop's_anthro @aesopsanthro]

@lancegravlee @UF Sounds like what we're facing here in Texas too. Maddening!!

[aesop's_anthro @aesopsanthro]

@caseyboyle Me too, I only applied to U Mich. Whew!

[aesop's_anthro @aesopsanthro]

@LiaMSiewert @StMarysMD Congratulations, take time to savor this! You'll do great at St Mary's. Let me know how it all develops. Woohoo!!

"morphing modes" or variations on a theme: a study of compositional strategies mockingbirds use when putting together their musical stylings, covering timbre change, pitch change, stretching the transition, and squeezing the transition https://t.co/8uiuhAGIMm

“Knowing Animals: Multispecies Ethnography and the Scope of Anthropology”, just published online https://t.co/FYiTmEe7MA; how ethologically-informed ethnography can contribute to animal conservation efforts.

What can wild animal social networks teach us about cooperation? New manuscript led by @samingokcekus online now: https://t.co/B3C4QIEEe8 showing how natural populations + social networks = new insights into emergence, spread & maintenance of cooperative behaviour 🤝

[Patchwork Ethnography @PatchworkEthno]

The latest round of our patchwork ethnography conversations is up! It features reflections from @aesopsanthro on slow turns in one’s thinking, and from Jess Auerbach on how anthropology has always been patchwork. https://t.co/1O6pxwTK58
