Why does W+EBS matter to @abbeyepage.bsky.social? “It creates a supportive, cross-career network that helps people who can struggle to stay in our field and I think our field really needs diversity to thrive too!” Fun fact: Abbey's "powered by tea and very opinionated spreadsheets” 2/2 #WplusEBS

I had a great time at HBES 2025 @humbehevosoc.bsky.social! I presented my work on a method we developed that allows us to predict who people will choose as partners 3 months into the future—participants chose romantic partners on their own, in their own mating markets—with zero intervention from us!

Super interesting research by @bengelbart.bsky.social: "Love may not operate as a commitment device in the classic sense: Rather than disincentivizing one's own pursuit of alternatives, acts of love may disincentivize alternatives from pursuing oneself." www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
