So proud to see the hard work of @rianaminocher come out in PNAS https://t.co/RxFpBk7oeU Nuanced analysis of 20 years of longitudinal data in a large rural community shows little evidence that non-nuclear family structures lead to reduced growth, education, or survival outcomes.
@MasYoungblood @oleg_sobchuk @OliverWithAnI Omg, did you really?! 🫀
Jokes aside, looks like a cool read. I'll print it out next time I'm in the office. The open sentence is the heaviest I've read since The Stranger by Camus.
In this new paper Claire Spottiswoode and I @honeyguiding examine how culture influences interspecies communication between people and honeyguides, and model why these cultural differences arise and stabilize https://t.co/VhY9onIdDc
How do people come together to solve complex problems?

🤯 This new @PNASNews paper out of @sfiscience is ELEGANT w/an incredible author list & one hell of a dataset.
The way this is written w/hypotheses & predictions clearly outlined & theory bridging mammals should make this Eco/Evo/Anthro mandatory reading. https://t.co/O6W1XsDB7M
This Lexis plot depicting UK mortality across the 20th century is wild. I had no idea cohort effects (diagonal 'scars') were so strong. Events like the 1918 flu led to not only high annual mortality, but an increase in mortality across one's lifetime. HT: @salonium's newsletter.
This work highlights the value of replication efforts on modeling studies, and on the importance of written model descriptions being sufficiently detailed to enable replication. /end
Our new medicine laureate Svante Pääbo made a splash when his colleagues at @MPI_EVA_Leipzig threw him into a pond. Normally throwing a colleague into the pond happens when somebody receives a PhD, and they wanted to do it for Pääbo's #NobelPrize as well.
