🦫💍 A #Cambridge #University study used genetic #data to create a monogamy ranking of 35 mammal species, finding #humans at 66% full-sibling rates.

Humans ranked higher than #meerkats but below #beavers, with researchers noting monogamy likely evolved to enable paternal care and counter infanticide.

Open Strategy Workshop: From Oxford 2025 to Innsbruck 2026

For two days, scholars from around the world gathered for the 2nd Open Strategy Workshop hosted at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. The local organizing team, spearheaded by Robin Engelbach and Winky Wu under the guidance of Eero Vaara, Richard Whittington and Violetta Splitter did a fantastic job. Looking back, I am still stunned how much program they managed to fit into just two days.

And a workshop full of highlights ended with a bang, when Julia Hautz, Thomas Ortner and I, representing Universität Innsbruck, met Benjamin Grossmann-Hensel, David Seidl and Theresa Langenmayr from UZH Chair of Organization and Management in an Oxford Union Style debate. As for the outcome of this battle, I let the pictures speak for themselves.

Given that the next iteration of the workshop will be hosted by University of Innsbruck, my colleagues and I were not just impressed, but also a bit intimidated by the standards established this year’s organizing team. A steep hill to climb – but luckily, climbing hills is what Tyroleans are best at.

For those interested in the 3d Open Strategy Workshop, save the date (June 25-26, 2026) and register for the event newsletter to receive updates.

The Oxford University Museum of Natural History is today's #MidweekMuseum and it's a place worth seeing for the building itself as much as the exhibits. It's a great example of Victorian Neo-Gothic design in iron and glass. There are some lovely pieces to see in the museum, of course, but we took most joy in being allowed to touch the 4.5 billion years old Nantan iron meteorite.

#MidweekMuseum moves to #Oxford this week and the #Ashmolean #Museum. Oxford isn't short of museums to visit, but if you're going to just see one of them then this is probably the most famous in the city and the one you're most likely to hit. Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Assyrian artifacts will satisfy your deep historical cravings and there is plenty for fans of paintings and objects such as violins and timepieces too.
