"Cristina is one of the most well-rounded and intensely fierce intellects in the evolutionary behavioral sciences. She's so charitable and willing to argue in a very positive way"

This week with Cristina Moya (UC Davis) we discuss conspiracy theories, ethnolinguistic boundaries, and if we would ever eat at a flat earth restaurant.

New manuscript "to help bridge the gap between behavioural ecologists and the broader social network analysis community"
🐒🕸️ New preprint! Confused about how to model animal social networks?
ASNA can be confusing—but also full of opportunity. We break down 5 common misunderstandings in animal social network analysis and share solutions from behavioural ecology, anthro, stats, & network science. Hope it helps!
