Excited to share a publicly accessible link to new work with @pichkary and @AbigailSearfoss -- detecting cultural evolution in songbirds (chipping sparrows!) using community science data and computational modeling authors.elsevier.com/a/1icLx…

TL;DR EL5 on Pulsar Timing Arrays:
Remember when the first telescope got made and then we spent four hundred years continuously upgrading both the telescopes and our understanding of the universe?
Well, that's happening again. We have a whole new universe detector.

Big congratulations to newly minted Dr. Kerri-Ann Anderson, who successfully defended her PhD and has a new paper out modeling the interactions between vaccine hesitancy and vaccination behaviors! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Young bees need to watch.
A recent Science study showed that the distinctive waggle dance honey bees use to send nestmates to the location of a food source is in part learned by young bees as they observe more experienced bees. scim.ag/33J #NationalPollinatorsMonth

omg this is adorable
scientists set up an experiment where birds could request to video chat with each other
turns out birds love to video chat with their friends ❤️

I have never posted about this, mainly for the safety of my spouse & family. But, she has asked me to share in this extremely pivotal moment. We live in TN. My spouse is an OB/GYN and every time she does an abortion to save someones life, she commits a class C felony.

Did you know if you hold an ermine up to your ear, you can hear what it’s like to be attacked by an ermine?

What happens when some members of a population have specialized knowledge? Our model predicts that if the population is large enough, their cultural repertoire could expand, but if it is too small, the specialized knowledge could be lost.

New paper out on cultural specialization!
We suggest that when different people in a population know different things it can increase the population's overall cultural repertoire, but also make it more susceptible to loss

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH, WE MADE HISTORY!
My name is Justin Jones. I’m a 26 year-old community organizer, been arrested over 14 times for good trouble, and I look forward to serving as the next state representative of District 52 (the most diverse district in TN).
PEOPLE POWER!

How does climate change affect heatwaves? A thread.
1 - As the planet warms, extreme heat now begins earlier in the year and stretches later. In the 1960s, the US heatwave season was about 25 days. By the 2010s, it was nearly 70 days. Source: epa.gov/climate-indicators/c…

Poor guy. He left before his soufflé because he decided half the country should risk death if they have an ectopic pregnancy within the wrong state lines. It’s all very unfair to him.
The least they could do is let him eat cake 🍰
