My first PhD chapter is out as a preprint! Together with @danielj_redhead, @rlmcelreath, and @PrimBehavEcol, we propose a general analytical framework to study the causes of animal social network structure, using Bayesian & Causal modelling. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If anyone would be interested in a PhD or postdoc project validating the ability of camera traps to estimate known population densities and demographies of capuchins, compare body sizes, and identify individuals with CNNs (with existing training data) email me.

New(-ish) preprint led by Sebastian Sosa & @mindismoving, where we introduce a model for animal social network analysis that estimates network structure & accounts for sampling & censoring biases! We then test the model and compare it with existing methods. TL;DR it's amazing 🤩

The folks at @ISBA_events tell me my book Statistical Rethinking has won the 2024 DeGroot Prize for its contributions to "statistical inference, decision theory and statistical applications". This is huge honor especially given the previous winners, who have influenced me so much
