    Thrilled for my new paper in with David Haig! *Embryo Selection and Mate Choice: Can ‘Honest Signals’ Be Trusted?* Males and embryos evolved tricks to look better in the eyes of choosy mates 'n moms-- they "cheat" at high-stakes tests. 1/5

    Happy palindrome day, whether you write the date DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY or even if you put the year first for some weird reason. 02/02/2020 is the only such date this century. The last one was over 900 years ago, on 11/11/1111. SO DON’T WASTE IT.

    By an intragenomic arms race, pregnancy became an elaborate affair representing conflicts between mothers & offspring. For those who made it to tweet #5: can you find the joke in tweet #1??? Hint: look in "concluding remarks" 5/5

    The same phenomenon holds during pregnancy, a time when mothers are automatically screening embryos for health and quality. Embryos evolve tricks to appear healthier than they are and manipulate their mother into continuing the pregnancy. Mothers evolve resistance. 4/5

    It's : when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. That's why teachers teach to the test under regimes like No Child Left Behind-- high pressure to report good scores! does great work on this topic. 3/5

    Many researchers of sexual selection describe how males try to cheat, females evolve resistance, and traits get elaborate via an arms race. , T. Burk, Krebs & Dawkins, and many others. This "proxy treadmill" also applies to pregnancy (and education policy)! 2/5

    I got asked today if I was being sexist because I referred to all the spiders in my presentation as "she". They were females, but I probably should have reverted to "he", the normal and default sex to be.

    Sonke Johnsen’s career so far - he stresses this is not a cartoon- based on data! Brilliant talk on our perceptual biases in asking biological questions

    In 2019, Guam Rails went from "Extinct in the Wild" to “Critically Endangered!” The National Aviary sent the highest number of Guam Rails into wild habitats of any other North American zoo. Help us continue our work of saving birds; donate before midnight!
