Free-range academic studying the evolution of behaviour in animals including humans. Cooperation, reputation, interdependence.
First exercise since being beaten up in Sept. Hoping to manage my first hour of research later...

Emblematic of arriving at Bluesky? Or just a weak excuse for sharing a weekend photo?

I have a new paper to share - like it or loathe it! Before concluding that cooperation is driven by indirect reciprocity, consider whether a strategy of helping those who help others can spread because every act of help may be costly to the individual but is beneficial to the strategy

So much exciting science going on... Meanwhile, I was watching hundreds of pink-footed geese (if you look closely), barnacle geese, short-eared owls, marsh harrier, long-tailed duck, twite, whooper swans, ruff... at Druridge Bay

Let's use the outpourings of emotion over the felling of the eponymous Sycamore Gap tree to protect our favourite trees. This is my favourite tree, dominating my view. Do you have a tree that's important to you?

No new science, babies or cats yet today but we have had an influx of red admirals in the garden
