The Publish or Perish Game is a humorous party game about academic publishing. Players race to publish manuscripts with useless nonsense while sabotaging each other's research and delivering "very helpful" comments, Reviewer 2 style.

How do we integrate social information from others with similar, but distinct, preferences? Find the answer in the first publication of my PhD, now out in PNAS! (pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…)🎉 Or get the quick rundown in the thread below 🧵

Super cool paper advances science of social learning in several ways.

We describe how octopus-fish groups can work, can malfunction, and can lead to benefits! Give it a read and don't forget to see the videos for punching, displacements, and examples of solo vs collaborative hunting!! 🐙🐠🐟 Out in NatureEcoEvo!!

Our new paper out today uses a mathematically-tractable model of collective navigation to study accuracy trade offs from individually rational behaviour, effects of group composition and emergence of leadership royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
