This is a '10 common mistakes' document that I give to students submitting a thesis / written assignment. Any majors ones that I've missed?!

Ozempic is really interesting, mechanistically. Check out the list of things, other than eating, that it reduces. Seems to inhibit a whole range of compulsive behaviours, via its impact on the dopaminergic system.

Amazing data viz here, with good explainer in the thread. Cancer susceptibility ⬆️ with age also has an evolutionary basis as I explain in my book 👇

Hello 👋 nice to see so many familiar faces here. For those I don’t know, I work on cooperation, punishment, paranoia & politics. I will mainly post about social evolution and cognition and stuff I think is cool. Perhaps a bit of cycling. And a smidge of dog.
