Favorite new first-class ice breaker: “Share a boring fact about yourself.”
Students loved it and we laughed a lot. They came up with impressively boring facts too. Some all-star examples below: (1/n)
Classical genetics uses knockouts to infer functional relationships. Here, biological and artificial knockouts predict neural activity and distributed function in complex brain areas. I am dazzled.
Our new paper https://t.co/co1TzUdWeC proposes a new lens for studying #inequality in @BehavEcol by folks in the @AnimBehSociety. The phenomenon of intergenerational wealth is common in animals - from #squirrels to #carnivores - and more. Let's study it!

We found that people combined six categories of behaviors into seven different types.
Not everyone agrees, but each individual has their own consistent definition. 👉

Excited to announce our new preprint using automated behavior measurements to study mouse models of autism. We find known and new differences in gait, perseveration, and adaptation. A great collaboration with Ugne Klibaite, @SamWangPhD and colleagues. https://t.co/ivdw23uuXd
A handy list of Evolutionary Anthropology virtual seminars coming up for the rest of this year- many thanks to @TonySloane10 for compiling!
