I think Netflix's pivot to streaming is supposed to be the canonical case of avoiding the innovators dilemma.

Also, grad students and post docs are 100x more interesting to talk to than senior people. They have new fresh ideas.

Wow. That's a mess.

In honor of @rmcelreath.bsky.social, it could also be an interdimensional divorce hotspot.

If Meow Wolf ever opens a location in the US Southeast, they could do worse than an interdimensional teleportation breakfast house.

Four images to illustrate some prominent single-gene myths. Top left shows a photograph of a person deftly rolling their tongue into a U-shape. Top right shows a photograph of a person’s ear, highlighting the shape and features of the earlobe and cartilage. Bottom left shows a close-up photograph of a person’s eye, with a vivid blue colouration. Bottom right shows a photograph of a person poised to write with their left hand on the blank white page of a spiral-bound notebook.

Remember when you first learned about genetics at school? All those fascinating examples of human traits that are each apparently determined by just a single gene? Time to check in on some of your favourites to see how they’re doing. 🧬🧵🧪 1/n

When I told him about The New Yorker's very human fact-checking process, he crowed that "a lot of that is going to go away." To which I said, NO, AI means we need MORE fact-checking, because AI has flooded the web with bullshit. It certainly can't be trusted to fact-check itself, or anything. /

We're pleased to announce the call for the 2026 Richerson Award for Outstanding Doctoral Research, for a recent PhD dissertation that significantly contributes to the field of CE.

Recipients receive a $300 award, a 3-yr CES membership and CES conference registration.

This is one of my top 10 papers of all time: Hollingworth, Leta S. "Variability as related to sex differences in achievement: A critique", American Journal of Sociology, 19, 510–530.

Delton and Krasnow modeled this idea. Unfortunately, this is not how repeated interactions work in theory. Though to be fair, this is not widely understood by non-theorists. My old paper on this. doi.org/10.1016/j.ev...

They can play so many songs with that skill... youtu.be/5pidokakU4I?...

I watched Crazy Rich Asians over the holidays. Why didn't any of you tell me that the protagonist is a game theorist?

My brain keeps trying to interpret the new "food pyramid" as a ternary plot.

For example, seeing "game theory" and "agent-based modeling" as distict approaches.

In my limited experience, economists, and by extension political scientists, have a narrow view of what "game theory" includes. The perils of an insular field.

Happy Trogday to those who celebrate!

📢 Come join us! Penn State Anthropology is hiring *two tenure-track assistant professors*, one in human reproductive ecology and one in archaeology. Here are just a few reasons why working at Penn State is awesome:

As long as the placard contains the caveat that it was a tongue-in-cheek response to the suggestion that additional data would resolve the issue of Berkson's paradox.

I'm more of a theory person, anyway. So if I were to imagine the space of all possible recipes, I suspect that more pots would imply worse outcomes as there are probably more ways to make things worse than better.

I don't know. You seemed to care enough to propose a correlation and provide some (admittedly anecdotal) evidence for it.

Dude, this is Berkson's paradox.

"We welcome PhDs to a round table table discussion from assistant professors who were recently on the job market"

Agreed. I don't recommend learning trigonometry solely from that video.
