๐จ New paper in iScience: "Ecological not social factors explain brain size in cephalopods"
In 2017, we published the Cultural Brain Hypothesis, a model of human brain evolution. It made an unexpected prediction: non-social animals could evolve big brains too, if their ecology was rich enough. 1/
Finally published! ๐

Instead, we cut to the chase and emphasize a practical workflow using step-by-step explanations and real data examples in R.
The companion website lives here
theissbendixen.com/dag-book and holds:
- All data and code used in the book
- Free sample chapters
- Bonus material!
New blog post! ๐จ

The final manuscript for this has now been submitted to the publisher (Sage's QASS series) ๐๐ฅ
Imagine a short (~100-150 pages) book-length introduction to causal inference.
This would be a very pedagogical and practical text. A sort of โyour first short course on applied causal inferenceโ kind of text.
What topics would you want such a book to cover?

How can we reform science? I have some ideas. But I am not sure youโll like them, because they donโt promise much. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07/09โฆ
