My sustainability class just finished a module about disinformation. I had them write me a letter assuming they were flunking and arguing that they deserve an A, using the techniques of disinformation we discussed, like cherry picking, false experts and ad hominem. HOO-boy. 1/n

I am thrilled to share this research examining human management of turkeys in the Mimbres region of southwestern New Mexico by @sgdolan and colleagues. I only played a small part in this, but I thought the group's approach to examining human-animal.. bit.ly/3GlRJCz 1/
