We are recruiting two PhD students on polygenic adaptation! https://t.co/OrjhAQZ4IE

[Yohsuke Murase @yohm13]

I updated the rb_call library, which allows you to call Ruby methods from Python code. It now works with the latest version of Python.

A new round of the Lise Meitner Excellence Program for #tenuretrack group leaders opened today - please consider applying! The program aims to recruit and promote exceptionally qualified female scientists. https://t.co/xVJ0D3GhbL #LiseMeitnerGroups #WomeninScience #ScienceCareer

[Sofia Teixeira @branmorrighan]

I’m looking for a new PhD student with a curious and interdisciplinary mindset to work on integrating multimodal data to better understand trajectories of mental and brain health disorders!

Deadline of applications: Feb 16!
Please spread the word.

[Yuriy Pichugin @ab_in_]

Nine PhD positions are open at Max Planck Institute. Come to work with me on modeling of the origins of organismic complexity at the onset of multicellular life. Application deadline is January 26.

[Dr Nikoleta E. Glynatsi @NikoletaGlyn]

Let me take a moment to advertise our recent paper again on @PLOSCompBiol!

It was published on December 27th, and understandably, many people didn't get a chance to read it during their holidays 😅

[Christian Hilbe @chilbe3]

@NikoletaGlyn @RIKEN_RCCS Huge loss for us, big win for RIKEN. Kobe will be a great hotspot for evolutionary game theory 💪 All the best! 🙂

[Dr Nikoleta E. Glynatsi @NikoletaGlyn]

I am genuinely very excited to announce that I am officially a Research Scientist at the RIKEN Center for Computational Science in the Discrete Event Simulation team, led by Nobuyasu Ito! 🇯🇵🗾🗻 @RIKEN_RCCS

[Christian Hilbe @chilbe3]

A very nice journey with a great ending: In a new paper, @NikoletaGlyn describes how longer memory allows people to sustain reciprocal cooperation. For details, see 🧵 below 👇

[Dr Nikoleta E. Glynatsi @NikoletaGlyn]

🚨Together with Ethan Akin, @DrMANowak & @chilbe3 our new paper published in @PNASNews characterizes partner strategies (Nash strategies that sustain cooperation) for reactive-n strategies in repeated games 🧵

We are accepting expression of interest for @LeverhulmeTrust Early Career Fellowships at @TeessideUni
I would love to support applications related to prosocial behaviours in humans and in hybrid human-AI systems. Pls get in touch if interested

[Christian Hilbe @chilbe3]

Opinions tend to become strongly correlated, for example, when social interactions are widely observable. Alternatively, they become correlated when individuals use gossip to synchronize their views. Here is an open version of the paper:

[Christian Hilbe @chilbe3]

In a new paper published today in @PNASNews, @yohm13 and I discuss a general framework to make sense of social norms and different indirect reciprocity models. Below is a 🧵, here is the paper:

[Christian Hilbe @chilbe3]

These correlations depend on the structure of social interactions, but also on the social norm in place. We find that a norm can only sustain cooperation if the resulting opinions of different community members become sufficiently correlated.
