My colleague, Charles Perreault, has published cool new paper documenting impact of culture on human capacity for adaptation: http//www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.1073/pnas.2523038123
Can we all just agree that if your evolutionary theory of humans posits we all evolved to have the social values of 1950s American it’s probably wrong? Thanks.

Birds lay eggs in a diverse array of colors, patterns, sizes, and shapes, as seen in this assortment from the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology collection.
Birds lay eggs in a diverse array of colors, patterns, sizes, and shapes.
After looking at nearly 50,000 eggs from more than 1400 bird species, researchers in Science found that egg shape is related to flight ability.

thanks for sharing your opinion Ishan!
What do my fellow researchers in cooperation research think of this?https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/ceq1000742go
today I learned: Es gibt in Hamburg eine Poliklinik die Menschen ohne Versicherung behandelt, mit komplett ehrenamtlichen Mitarbeitenden, modernen Geräten und verschiedenen Fachrichtungen! Komplett spendenfinanziert. Traurig dass es das braucht, aber Respekt!

One thing I have learned ever since talking openly about my life with bipolar disorder is that, yeah, there are still many people interpreting hypomanic or depressive states as character flaws.
A feature in Nature outlines how researchers are using artificial intelligence to decode the speech of animals, and the technology may enable humans someday to talk back to them. 🧪

📣 New registered report in @nathumbehav.nature.com with Ivan Soraperra, @jonathanschulz.bsky.social, and Shaul Shalvi: rdcu.be/eAcMA
With data from 7,978 participants in 20 countries, we find that information about negative externalities promotes prosociality, especially in guilt-prone individuals.
On the left is a rabbit. On the right is an elephant. But guess what: They’re the *same image*, rotated 90°!
In @currentbiology.bsky.social, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & I show how these images—known as “visual anagrams”—can help solve a longstanding problem in cognitive science. bit.ly/45BVnCZ
Too often, I see people talk about a replication as if the first study has established something, and the replication study is a double-check. What people often fail to understand is that we do not do replication studies to *check* a finding, but to *establish* a finding. 1/x
