HUMAN BEHAVIOR AND EVOLUTION SOCIETY 30th Annual Meeting July 4th – July 7th, 2018 HBES Welcome to HBES 2018 We, the organizing committee, are thrilled to be hosting the 30th annual meeting of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society in Amsterdam. The Netherlands is a fitting place for this meeting. The first microscopes were developed by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in the 17th century, just an hour’s drive south of the conference venue. Some of the first work in evolutionary genetics was conducted by Hugo de Vries 100 years ago at the University of Amsterdam. The Nobel Prize winning ethologist Niko Tinbergen was raised in The Hague and educated in Leiden. Tinbergen’s student Jan van Hooff conducted pioneering work on primate behavior at Utrecht University, and Van Hooff’s student, Frans de Waal, is this year’s keynote speaker. And, as De Waal and Van Hooff were using evolutionary perspectives to better understand primates, Bram Buunk paved the way for evolutionary psychology at the University of Groningen in the 1980’s, with research programs focusing on mate choice and jealousy. We, your organizers, have active evolutionary psychology research programs at the University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and our Dutch colleagues have similar programs at Leiden University, Radboud University, and the University of Groningen, among other institutes. Hence, many Dutch scientists are pleased to see this meeting being held in a nation that has been so strongly influenced by – and has influenced – some of the core scientific approaches of HBES. We hope that your enthusiasm toward HBES in Amsterdam matches ours. We further hope that you will enjoy this year’s excellent slate of plenaries and individual talks, which showcase the international and intellectual diversity traditionally prized by our society. Many presentations also highlight advances in open science and methods – new approaches that will keep our science strong in the coming decades. Next to our lineup of speakers, we also have a great set of scientific and social activities planned. We’ll start with an opening-night reception at the conference venue on Wednesday evening. Here, you’re invited to have a drink and sample some of Amsterdam’s finest hapjes – traditional Dutch bar snacks that seem to have been designed to pair well with a light, cold beer. On Thursday, over lunch time, students are invited to attend the Gradute Student and Prospective Graduate Student Lunch, where they can get career advice from longtime members of the HBES community. Thursday will also offer the Women of HBES event, where female scientists can meet, network, and obtain support from other female HBES members. Following Women of HBES, 175 scholars will showcase their work during the poster session, which will also act as a social event, with drinks served. Friday and Saturday evenings will offer two additional social events. On Friday evening, the canal cruise will allow you to see Amsterdam’s historical city center from the water. And, following Frans de Waal’s Saturday evening keynote address, the conference banquet will give you a three course meal in Amsterdan’s Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky. The banquet is situated directly across from Dam Square, and it will provide a perfect launching point for a Saturday evening out in Amsterdam. Of course, please let us and our many student volunteers know if you have any questions about the conference or about Amsterdam. We’re happy and eager to help.

First, you can access eduroam, if you are registered with that service. Second, you can log into the UvA Open WiFi network, which does not require registration or a password. Poster Set-Up The Poster Session, which will take place on Thursday, July 5th from 19:00 to 21:00, will be held in two locations: (1) in Building A, and (2) in De Brug. Posters can be set up starting at 12:00 on Thursday and need to be removed the following morning. If you are presenting a poster, please stand near your poster during the poster session. Drinks will be provided during the poster session. Oral Presentation Sessions All oral presentations will be 15 minutes in length with an additional 5 minutes allocated for questions and a transition to the next speaker. If you are presenting, please arrive to your session 10 minutes early. A local volunteer, who will be serving as session chair (and, hence, will be timing your talk), will help you set up your presentation. Please note that each room is equipped with a PC and a projecter. The projectors have VGA and HDMI connections that will allow you to set up your own laptop, if you are unwilling to use the provided PC. That said, we urge you to use the PC in the room – most technical difficulties arise when presenters insist on using their own laptop for their presentation. 4 Important Locations Conference Address: University of Amsterdam (Nieuwe Achtergracht 166, Building A) Cruise Location: Outside of the Hermitage Museum (Nieuwe Keizersgracht 1) Closest Metro Stop to Conference: Weesperplein Metro Station Banquet location: Hotel Krasnapolsky (Dam 9) Google maps estimates a seven minute walk from the Weesperplein metro station to the conference venue, and a 13 minute walk from the Tropen Hotel to the conference venue. The walk from the conference venue to the cruise pickup will take about 15 minutes. To get to the banquet venue, you can either walk (about 25 minutes), or you can take any metro from the Weesperplein metro station toward Central Station and get off at the Nieuwmarkt stop. It is a six minute walk from there. Taking the metro will save you five to ten minutes in travel time relative to walking the entire way. And, of course, you can call an Uber or taxi if you prefer. 5 Lunch Venues You have a few options for lunches. First, you can walk to a restaurant/café. All locations highlighted on the map below are a two to six minute walk from the conference venue. Second, you can get a packaged sandwich or salad from the Albert Heijn grocery store. Third, on Wednesday through Friday, you can visit the Building H food court at the university. Note that this cafeteria does not take cash, though it will accept Mastercard and Visa cards with a chip.
