Did one era really have more stories, songs, or tools than another, or was it just better recorded? When collections are built unevenly, diversity comparisons can measure the collectors instead of the cultures. Our new paper is about how to fix that.

Correcting collection bias in comparative studies of diversityAbstract. Comparative analyses of diversity in human populations often rely on historical, archival and observational data, which are systematically shapeddoi.org

Out in Evolutionary Human Sciences! With @mikekestemont.bsky.social, @jbcamps.bsky.social, @remcosleiderink.bsky.social & Anne Chao New work on unseen species models for cult heritage to the question: how many stories were _shared_ between medieval French and Dutch literature? lnkd.in/exyAWtir

For the non-Dutchies: as of yesterday, I’m a professor by special appointment at Utrecht University! Same research, new title.

It's incredibly important to have a journal like Open Humanities Data. Had the pleasure working with @l-teixeiracosta.bsky.social to publish a dataset of 11k+ records from the first illustrated flora of the Netherlands (19th century) 👀 Look at that turnaround time: 1 month! doi.org/10.5334/johd...

Yes, come say hi!

@erc.europa.eu actually looking at my out-of-office message this summer, thinking: “Perfect! He clearly has time to review some applications!”

A while back, I worked on a project about forgotten books, using a model from ecology that ultimately traces back to Alan Turing. Oh, the irony: reading today that Turing’s own papers were nearly shredded: www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Alan Turing papers saved from shredder could fetch £150,000Documents including signed copy of 1938 PhD dissertation to be auctioned after they were nearly thrown outwww.theguardian.com
