This diagram, a model of costly signaling from Michael Spence's 1972 dissertation, pretty much won him the 2001 Nobel Prize in economics.

I annotated the diagram for a 2005 TREE paper on what economics can teach evolutionary biology, and vice versa: https://t.co/qrGl2g06sz

Great work showing that erring on the side of sharing is a winning strategy! Really relevant to the work we're doing in The Human Generosity Project @generousnature

Such a great book I blurbed it! “A refreshingly fun take on cheating and free riding in the natural world. From cuckoos and crabs to cheating bureaucrats, Sun paints a brightly colored world filled with innovative impostors, creative liars, and brilliant nervous-system hackers.”

[Athena Aktipis @AthenaAktipis]

Great to be back at the @asumixcenter, this time recording a series of short videos for @think4scot a small @asu about how we survive (and thrive) in the apocalypse. Spoiler alert: with cooperation.

[B. Natterson-Horowitz, MD, PhD @BNHorowitzMD]

No one is more skilled at communicating science than @AthenaAktipis —@Westmont get ready to understand the future of education in whole new way!

One person’s apocalypse is another person’s salvation. At least they’ll have some company.

What are the links between microbes and cancer? @GisselMrqzAlcrz & @AthenaAktipis on how diet can help or hinder cell cooperation https://t.co/CdZw7GdaRm via @ConversationUS

Multicellularity has evolved independently at least 7 times! This has important implications not only in cancer biology, but also in cross-species extrapolation in pathway-based toxicity assessment. Check out @AktipisLab's 2015 paper: https://t.co/1KSZKNB9Ct! #CompTox @evmedasu
