Sex Dynamics at Harvard

Filed under: General — Tags: — m759 @ 10:44 am

See also a search for Evolutionary Dynamics in this  journal.

That search leads to an article co-authored by one H. Ohtsuki —

Ohtsuki, H., & Iwasa, Y. (2004).
“How should we define goodness? –
Reputation dynamics in indirect reciprocity.”
Journal of Theoretical Biology231(1), 107-120.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2004.06.005

Related material:  Ohtsuki’s CV , which contains references
to Harvard, Nowak, Evolutionary Dynamics, and (notably)
two separate lists of citations given to establish the fact that
Ohtsuki has a fairly low Erdős number — namely, 4.

Writer Robert Avrech on director Brian De Palma —

“Both Brian and I greatly admire Alfred Hitchcock so we were
pretty much on the same page aesthetically. That’s how I came
to write Body Double , a superb thriller that immediately thrust
me into the Hollywood limelight.”
