Early Career Award for Distinguished Scientific Contribution
Dan Conroy-Beam was honored at the 2026 Human Behavior and Evolution Society meeting with the Early Career Award for Distinguished Scientific Contribution.
The Early Career Award recognizes excellent young scientists who have made distinguished theoretical and/or empirical contributions to the study of evolution and human behavior.
Dan uses an evolutionary and computational perspective to understand social decision making, particularly in the domain of human mate choice and mating relationships. His work combines agent-based modeling, dyadic and behavioral data, and cross-cultural samples to develop, compare, and explore candidate models of the complete mating process. Dan’s interests range from how people evaluate potential partners, pursue and choose partners, and regulate their relationships.
