Are you working on a project where you need to infer whether individuals are socially learning? pathways, correlates of, and individual variation in sensitivity to social transmission? Consider joining the hand-on STbayes workshop to learn about the latest update to the NBDA framework
⏰ Reminder: 10 days left to submit your abstract for Culture Conference 2026!
🧠 Workshop details are now live! Join us for a hands-on day on cutting-edge tools for analysing social networks & social transmission (registration opens soon).

in the beginning, the tomb dramas were spaced about a year apart. but then tsf and wxpn both dropped last year, and nbda was only 6 weeks ago. in a few days we could be seeing a tomb drama every 8 hours until they are dropping every 4 minutes. we should witness a double event within 7 days

In fairness, @peopleforbikes.bsky.social is aware and is trying to stay in front of the ebike craziness. So is the NBDA.
Truth is, most decision makers still only see bikes only as toys and hobbies, not serious transport.

We hold that the biggest obstacle for the Canadian bicycle industry to grow is the lack of safe, connected places to ride where Canadian cyclists can feel safe from harm.
