Tom Griffiths (@CoCoSciLab) is daring to #VentureForward shaping the future of #AI research at @Princeton.

Here we provide the most comprehensive description of the theory of animal eavesdropping by using a formal model onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/… @matspike

!!! Come work with Lucy and me on this great project on social learning.

Social learning requires both a learner (receiver), and an individual who is learned from (sender), but we often ignore that evolution works on both parties. In a new paper, I explore what happens when allow both sender and receiver jointly evolve: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Huge new model of *social learning* out from @RouseTurner in work with @stephenfmann, Rob Magrath, (nominally) me, & Kim Sterelny: A general framework for the joint evolution of sender & receiver investment in social/asocial learning, teaching, & masking link.springer.com/article/10.100…

This is easy for me to say because I've never submitted to NeuroImage, but I really hope all the people celebrating this huge move 1) *stop submitting to NeuroImage* and also 2) consider the implications of journal choice for junior co-authors.

Being the first in my family to attend university while financially supporting myself (and family members) since I was 15 meant I had to make difficult decisions about what degrees I wanted to study, as unpaid placements were not an option for me.

Wow!📚 #1 New Release on Amazon! People are clearly not judging "A Theory of Everyone" by its cover... it doesn't have one yet. But seriously, I'm blown away by the early support. Publicity hasn't officially started, so thank you for the early pre-orders!📖🎉

Check out this story in the @princetonian about how @Princeton #postdocs won our 18.5% pay increase, and why this is just the beginning! dailyprincetonian.com/article/2023/0…

The Social & Cognitive Origins group @JohnsHopkins now has a website. Check it out! social-cognitive-origins.com We study how humans and other animals think, and what makes the human mind unique

An academic at Hamline University just got fired for showing this image to a class. Is that not strange in America in the 21st century? It is a classic of Persian art.

🚨 Job alert: We will be recruiting multiple postdocs for this project. One postdoc, based at @JohnsHopkins, will pursue experimental studies of individual and collective decision-making in captive chimpanzees, with a focus on logical reasoning. Please email me ASAP...
