Interesting discussion going on atm between Ruben and @williamcostello.bsky.social on the appropriate ways to defend (or not) Evolutionary Psychology but I wanted to pick up this point here. How many internal critics stay in the field? How many throw up their hands and walk away?

When I was on T****er I used to live-tweet conferences in haiku format, and I loved it. So I thought I'd start #sciencehaiku 'ing our weekly seminars.
