Check out our new publication: rdcu.be/dSBfU We found no link between dominance rank, unit size, and fGC levels in wild female Guinea baboons, shedding light on the adaptability and resilience to social stress in complex multilevel societies with female-biased dispersal

Not just a pipeline issue: “women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career age. Women are more likely to feel pushed from their jobs, and women leave because of workplace climate more often than work-life balance” (US data but certainly fits with my anecdotal experience)

science.org

Gender and retention patterns among U.S. faculty

Women faculty are more likely to leave their jobs than men, most often due to workplace climate, rather than work-life balance.

#rstats What are your favourite examples when teaching students to think critically about data/figures and interpretations? For example, Simpson's Paradox and the importance of considering important subpopulations - is brilliantly displayed in the Palmer Penguins dataset.

So excited about this hackathon-like workshop that'll take place in Leiden in Jan. We'll work in groups to develop & computationally implement cognitive models of complex behaviors (turn-taking, reading, word acquisition, etc.). Registration still open: lorentzcenter.nl/cognitive-mo...
