What a force of nature. She is unparalelled.

Thank you to @psypost.bsky.social for featuring our @natmentalhealth.nature.com research on stomach–brain communication and worse mental health symptoms www.psypost.org/scientists-d... Was also shared on X but with weirdly more hair colour comments 🌈 than the science itself 😅: x.com/OwenGregoria...

Got Butterflies in your Stomach? I am super excited to share the first major study of my postdoc @the-ecg.bsky.social - Now out in @natmentalhealth.nature.com! We report a multidimensional mental health signature of stomach-brain coupling in the largest sample to date www.nature.com/articles/s44...

An open letter has been launched today (27/7/25) for members of the UK academic community (academics and other university staff) to sign, to press the UK Home Office to facilitate safe passage out of Gaza for 40+ students with offers for UK universities. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl. yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’. no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

A fringe group of bigoted weirdos have dragged British media, government, and law into their hateful obsession with trans people. Grim, depressing, and dangerous. Everyone with power in the UK who's played along should be ashamed of themselves.

The UK's Supreme Court ruling is abhorrent and outwardly validates an hateful anti-feminist rhetoric that is extremely harmful towards all minorities (incl. cis-women). I am sick of it. Trans women are women, trans men are men 🏳️‍⚧️ www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Ever stuck choosing the right plot or trying to figure out how to make it look just right? My go-to resource is the R Graph Gallery (r-graph-gallery.com), which is full of examples and clear code for everything from scatterplots to Sankey diagrams! #dataviz #rstats #rladies

Pleased to share our latest collaborative publication, "Thermosensory predictive coding underpins an illusion of pain", out now in Science Advances! The first major output of our Visceral Mind Project, lead by the amazing @francescafardo.bsky.social! www.science.org/doi/full/10....

“We’re seeing a rise in broken legs being diagnosed.” The discourse about this would not be about ‘over-diagnosis’, but about investigation into why this was happening, prevention and support. Perhaps we could do the same for other diagnoses.

1/ We can measure interoception in many aspects, but can we actually manipulate it? I’m excited to share our new study, which shows that blockade of peripheral beta-adrenergic pathways improves cardiac and respiratory interoception in unique ways! 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Yup, tracks with my experience, too. And even in a department that was overwhelmingly female (excluding emeriti), if male associates didn’t do the extra labor, it did not hurt their chance at TT, but if female associates didn’t donate their time, they wouldn’t get consideration for TT.

A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women. The bit that gets me:”The male associate professors in particular made it clear that they actively engaged in evasiveness and did not want to participate if it was not positive for their careers”

those that evangelize genAI as a "powerful tool" for their little tasks without consideration of its disastrous impact on the information/knowledge ecology are shortsighted, to say the least

We’re all super excited for this session and hope to see you there!

Dear colleagues of the MEG community I have recently commenced a project at Aarhus University, Denmark, called: Re-integration of the cerebellum . Therefore, I am recruiting a Postdoc for 2½ years to begin September 1st 2025. The deadline for the application is March 20th 2025.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... I do not, necessarily, agree with the sweeping title of this article. But the fundamental point stands, we have benefitted from US defense for decades and were woefully unprepared for this eventuality.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

Ukraine did not "go into this war“. They were attacked.

This is a great article. AI is absolutely destroying students' ability to think and problem solve, and this is a *huge* issue in education.

How does the perception of our bodily self arise in our experience, and to what extent do we process body ownership information unconsciously? In a new study (preprint), we found body ownership information processing cannot occur without awareness. 0/14👇 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

BOOM! Re-upping our Pain Research Starter Pack since so many people have joined this glorious place in the past week. If you are not on the list and want to be added, let me know and I will add you... I have been doing my best to keep this updated. #painresearch go.bsky.app/KboKNhg

Hey folks! I got a tattoo of my beloved PIEZO ion channel on my arm! Now I can show how they activate (flatten) under pressure by flexing—Will add a bit of performance art to my science talks 🧪🧠.

Men will literally prefer going Bayesian instead of going to therapy.

Just published from our group- a method that successfully thresholds the Thermal Grill Illusion. Lovely to have this out and seriously impressive work by everyone involved (especially Camila as lead on this)

During trump 1.0, we had to pull down all of the climate change pages off the EPA website. Start archiving shit now, document, backup, photograph, whatever you need to do.

Really seems that being a singularly worthless man is still a major advantage over being an exceptionally impressive woman.

Keir Starmer has talked a lot about choices. His Government has chosen to increase public transport fares. Keeping the £2 bus fare cap in England would cost £300m, according to the New Economics Foundation. The fuel duty freeze? £3bn. www.independent.co.uk/news/busines...

What happens when our stream of consciousness turns inward, towards the body? Our new fMRI study of 536 individuals finds that 'body-wandering' is associated with distinct patterns of brain connectivity, physiology, affect, and mental health: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Is our sensitivity to pain influenced by signals coming from our blood vessels? This could explain why when we raise the arm on which a capsaicin patch is applied, the pain becomes much worse, a phenomenon we describe and probe in our latest paper doi.org/10.1002/ejp.... A 🧵

The research and publications we do as academics is largely unpaid. Now, it is being sold, with none of that money going to us, to train a system that makes our work as mentors of new scholars even harder. (Ok, a ranty thread)

Got a bad gut feeling 😖? In a new study, led by the brilliant @leahbanellis.bsky.social and Ignacio Rebollo, we combined fMRI & electrogastrographic (EGG) imaging in more than 200 participants to uncover links between the gastric-brain axis and mental health.  www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...  🧵👇
