BREAKING NEWS: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”

Happy announce our special issue of Proc Roy Soc B Royal Society Publishing on ‘Human socio-cultural evolution in light of evolutionary transitions' royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/2023/… Coedited by me, Eörs Szathmáry, Ayelet Shavit & Yohay Carmel. Get it while it's hot!!! #cultevo #philbio

Thank you!!! 😊😊

Telling the story of human evolution beyond genetic traits – epigenetics, environment, spread and development of culture, and how and why people conform to cultural norms – is the work of Kaleda Denton, who graduated with a Ph.D. in Biology from Stanford University. This month, she

Kevin Lala: After 10 years of hard work, I am thrilled to have in my hands the very first copy of my new book "Evolution Evolving: The Developmental Origins of Adaptation and Biodiversity"!!! The book will be published in just over a week by Princeton University Press . For more

Cultural traits like beliefs and behaviors are influenced by conformity—the tendency to align with others—or anti-conformity—the choice to deliberately diverge. A recent paper by SFI Postdoc Kaleda Denton et. al. looks beyond averages and incorporates “trait clustering” to model

We’re back — and raising the bar! 🍂 📅 Oct 30, 2025 | 📍Groton Hill Music Center Nine trailblazing women in AI, science & the arts will take the stage at the height of New England’s fall. 🍁 🎟️ Grab your tickets today: bit.ly/434wj6C #TEDxNE2025 #WomenInScience

Check out the speakers for 2025 #TEDxNE. This year, we are focusing on the theme of Agency: how our choices are shaped by the world around us and our beliefs. Join us on 10/30 at the Groton Hill Music Center for a day of inspiring talks by eight exceptional leaders.

New paper from my group: "Do AI Models Perform Human-like Abstract Reasoning Across Modalities?" ⬇️

1️⃣ How do ideas spread - through truth, usefulness, or imitation? In my new episode, I talk with Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Kaleda Denton of the Santa Fe Institute about cultural evolution, cooperation, and how even AIs learn to follow the crowd. 🎧 The Armen Show #456

Cultural Evolution: More Than Just Genes Dr. Kaleda Denton , Complexity Postdoctoral Fellow at the Santa Fe Institute From new episode 456 of The Armen Show with host Armen Shirvanian

Honoured to have done my first ever podcast on The Armen Show! Besides science & math, we talked about: -LLMs hyping up bad ideas -My 5 foster cats, but whether I'm secretly a dog person -How it would be nice to "skip" & "mute" people in real life 😛 tinyurl.com/yc4hjz2x

SFI welcomes Complexity Postdoctoral Fellow Maike Morrison. Maike Morrison develops mathematical tools to quantify and compare biological variation — from species in ecosystems, to microbes in the gut, to ancestral lineages in humans. Her work draws on ecology, population
