First day as an ERC Research Fellow in Evolutionary Anthropology in the Department of Anthropology, University College London: I'm extremely excited to join the Human Evolutionary Ecology Group headed by Prof Ruth Mace and I'm looking forward new collaborations.  I wrote a short commentary to an excellent paper reviewing Cultural Group Selection theory. I highlighted the need to separate the effects of Cultural Selection 1 and Cultural Selection 2 and highlighted the need to develop tools to model the former. See paper here! 
PhD awarded -- the end of a truly enriching and rewarding journey! Thanks to all that have helped me along the way, from my supervisors, to fellow PhD students, to my parents at home and all my friends in St Andrews & beyond!
Started a short 3-month ERC-funded Research Fellow positions in Andy Gardner's Lab, School of Biology, University of St Andrews.
New paper published today in Proceedings B: Why war is a man's game [Open Access!]. I'm grateful for the useful feedback I received from various people throughout the process and especially at EHBEA & HBES. Also thanks to The Conversation UK for the opportunity to write an article explaining my results to a wide audience: check it out. Also very glad about the media attention this paper got: Phys.org, Daily Mail, Yahoo News, UPI, and more...  |
