As always, it was a wonderful and successful week in London.

Thank you to @nationalarchives.gov.uk.web.brid.gy and GISociabilité for giving me the opportunity to present my research as part of such a fantastic programme!

🔍 Does perceived residential #reputation mediate the effect of #neighborhood context on neighborhood #cohesion, including residents’ sense of #belonging and #sociability? Does this effect vary across socioeconomic groups?

You also want to read my piece today--also over @fastcompany.com, where I question the whole thing about putting #ads in #ChatGPT " #AI " at all .... and issues of #trust and #sociability and #context and relevance, etc.
www.fastcompany.com/91472395/ope...

Are we ready for OpenAI to put ads into ChatGPT? What it could mean to insert advertising into a 1-to-1 relationship.

New from me: #OpenAI inserting #ads into #ChatGPT is the equivalent of a very annoying person butting into what seem to be 1:1 conversations. It undermines #trust, too. Lots to see here, hope you take a look:

Individual variation in #sociability is a central feature of every society, including #HoneyBees. This study shows that specific genetic variants & #brain gene expression patterns are linked to variation in the social act of sharing liquids (trophallaxis) in bees @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3VjjXnJ

Shared genetic mechanisms underpin social life in bees and humans, study suggests Several genetic variants associated with social behavior in honey bees are located within genes that have previously been linked to social behavior in humans, Ian Traniello at the University of Illino...

The roots of social behaviour 600m years ago that link bees and humans. They've found genes in #bees that are the #genes for social behaviour in us. And those genes help account for the variability in #sociability in both bees and us. phys.org/news/2025-09...

I am entering my "reconsidering this place" era and am making an open call for #sociability from followers who are:

1. Human (not automated)
2. Individual (not a brand or corp account)
3. Feeling similarly

Gonna be winnowing 'megaphone' accounts out to see it helps.

I think they're both female, which is super- impressive that they are hanging together like besties an example of #Sociability.

Hi 👋 I am Katrina Choe, an assistant professor at @McMasterU and a first time attendee at #ACNP2024! My lab studies effects of autism-linked genes on neural mechanisms underlying #sociability. Day 1 and already ran into so many familiar faces, I think I’ll fit right in! 😎
