New Year's resolutions: read more, think more, and no email (though that's impossible).
Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.

Running performance in Australopithecus afarensis
Bates et al. present the first physics simulations of running in Australopithecus and demonstrate that maximum running speed was considerably lower than modern humans, with a restricted submaximal range available for endurance running, which suggests that key features in the human body plan evolved specifically for improved running performance.
