Excited to share our preprint on variability in patch leaving decisions! Check out the 🧵 below
🧪Preprint!
How foragers depart from optimal models can tell us a lot about how they compute their decisions.
A strong but underexplored departure is that foragers widely vary when they leave identical patches.

Folks at SfN come see the first Fraser Lab poster ever at FF6 on Tuesday Nov 18, 8am. Serena Miller has oodles of data to share on a new direction for us. Also, that day happens to be my birthday so you have to come say hi or else

the Montgomery: we know exactly why and we know exactly how dangerous it is but every attempt to make it slightly less dangerous simply reveals a New and Exciting Danger that prevents access

James Bond finally dying is EXACTLY what the writers would do if they were setting the stage for a black (or South Asian!) 007.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

This is all amusing, but it's just a pretend problem designed to try to make us forget the fact that Idris Elba was robbed of the role that was rightfully his.

So...the plan is to restrict things one by one as scandals break out and thereby find the point where players aren't willing to tank and/or are willing to be more careful about it?
NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball, sportsbooks say they will limit bets on individual pitches in response to pitch rigging scandal.

I watched “City Slickers” with my family, a favorite I rented many times as a child. Discovered that the men having a midlife crisis in this movie are 39. I did not expect to be attacked in this way.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

If Watson had just kept his mouth shut for the last seventy years, he would have had sinecures and respect for life, and when he died everyone would have mourned. The Rosalind Franklin stuff would have been rather swept under the carpet.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
