New paper out! It was an honor to collaborate with the legend Leah Krubitzer on this review to show that paleontologists and neurobiologists working together can only improve our understanding of brain evolution 🧠

The functional adaptations of mammalian brain structures through a behavioural ecology lens - Nature Reviews Biodiversity

Palaeontologists and comparative neurobiologists share a common interest in the evolution of the mammalian brain, but often fail to realize the benefits of this shared interest. This Review draws thes...

Pleased to have this review out in @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social. In it we discuss various aspects of the intersection between foraging behaviors and neuroscience, and offer some future directions: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Foraging as an ethological framework for neuroscience

The study of foraging is central to a renewed interest in naturalistic behavior in neuroscience. Applying a foraging framework grounded in behavioral …

'Give me the head!' Neuroscientist inspires whale and dolphin research in Brazil

Time is of the essence for a Brazilian neuroscientist who wants to study whale and dolphin brains before the brains decompose in the heat.

My colleague Quentin Atkinson wrote this piece - How Not To Run a University. It is an insanely good read about how managerialism is destroying universities.

Make time for it. Talk about it. Share it.

I’d love to hear more ideas about this. I’ve been brainstorming for my own teaching. How to we stop teaching the brain as a domino chain (where disorders are broken dominos) but instead as a multi-level dynamical system? Starting at the earliest stages? Please chime in! A few thoughts …

Finished reading @nicolecrust.bsky.social’s Elusive Cures. Very interesting. I wonder, how do we change the way we train our students to help implement the new Grand Plan?

Second, I understand there’s a movement in education to think about things like ecology and climate as big holistic dynamical systems (even in grade school). We can learn from that. Anyone w/ pointers, please chime in!

Out now in Science Advances! We find that infants estimate environmental volatility to learn optimally, with early individual differences linked to temperament. This has be so much fun to work on and ended up being my favourite personal paper! So excited it's out!
