📈🧠 We're looking for brains! 🧠📈 Postdoc + PhD positions are available to help pioneer fetal MEG with optically pumped magnetometers, measuring prenatal responses to sound and light to understand how we start making sense of the world even before we're born. 🐣 Please get in touch to hear more!

Funded PhD opportunity with @sjblakemore.bsky.social and I, at Cambridge. We are looking for someone interested in developmental science, to start in the coming academic year. Please share it with anyone you think might be interested (see details attached 😁). drive.google.com/file/d/1RIvg...

📢 I'm recruiting a PhD Student at @lapsyde.bsky.social (@cnrs.fr @cnrs-idf-villejuif.bsky.social @upcite.bsky.social) in Paris, France to study preterm-born children multilevel developmental trajectories! 📈 Applications deadline: May 31! Position starts on Oct 1 See below for all the information ⬇️

Recent research shows that AI can durably reduce belief in conspiracies. But does this work b/c the AI is good at producing evidence, or b/c ppl really trust AI? In a new working paper, we show that the effect persists even if the person thinks they're talking to a human: osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧵

Are you an international early career scholar considering spending time in the Netherlands? We likely have capacity to host a Marie Curie Fellow if you are interested. Our lab (lifespancognitivedynamics.com) works on modeling cognitive change in early or later life, at short and long timescales.

LaPsyDE est sur Bluesky. Suivez-nous! Pour ceux qui ne nous connaissent pas voici notre site : www.lapsyde.com Notre but est de mieux connaître le fonctionnement du cerveau, grâce à la psychologie du développement et à l'imagerie cérébrale à tous les âges de la vie

FYI, if you want to be prepared to apply for the next ABCD Study data release, prepare for these new NIST security requirements 🧠: @ohbmofficial.bsky.social abcdstudy.org/scientists/d...

📢 We're conducting a meta-analysis and seeking grey literature or peer-reviewed articles providing at least one statistical metric of the relation btw #metacognition and socio-economic status (SES). If you have any relevant research, please send it to [email protected]. Thank you!

👋🏾 Here again to share that the deadline for our special issue for Developmental Psychology is approaching (Friday, 2/28). Looking forward to reviewing your submissions!

Très fière de vous annoncer la sortie de ce podcast Votre Cerveau sur l’impact des Écrans le 25 février 2025 avec @franceculture.bsky.social Un podcast en 6 épisodes de 10 min, réalisé par Charlotte Roux, disponible l’application Radio France. www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...

Join us for a full-day workshop on Human Trajectories on March 20 at @upcite.bsky.social ky.social featuring international speakers from multiple fields, including @rogierk.bsky.social, @denisewerchan.bsky.social, and @emccormick.bsky.social! Registration is free yet mandatory: up5.fr/trajectories

1/8. This week I had a few different conversations with scholars who, in the face of the attacks on science and institutions of learning in the U.S., are wondering what to do. One suggestion I have is: keep doing your work. It matters in and of itself. Why do I say that? A few reasons.

We are pleased to announce the opening of applications for the 2025 BBRF Young Investigator Grant. All applications must be submitted online. Please visit our website to submit your application. ow.ly/j2HM50URsiG . #mentalhealth #neuroscience #mentalillness

Are mental disorders extreme manifestations of continuous traits or genetically distinct entities? We present Genomic Taxometric Analysis of Continuous and Case-Control data (GTACCC) for evaluating genetic continuity and differentiation of traits across the severity spectrum. Tweetorial coming soon.

Virtual registration is now open for the Whistler Workshop. Can't make it there in person, but still want the science - signup here: web.cvent.com/event/34b0c2...

We're launching Devstart, a website to help anyone getting started with developmental science methods and programming. Here's the website with the first tutorials: tommasoghilardi.github.io/DevStart/ Please share widely! 1/4

👶​🧠​📈​ A workshop on "Advances in infant neuroscience" is being organized as part of the Budapest CEU Conference on Cognitive Development on the morning of Jan. 4 and it's possible to attend online for free !! 😀​ Please register via the dedicated website infant-neuroscience.github.io/getting-star...

GOOD MORNING BLUESKY! Very excited about this new paper: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2300671120 Key Q: what predicts how much young kids (👶)talk? How much 🗣 kids heard predicted how much 👶talked, but other factors, e.g. mom’s education, didn’t. #PsychSci #DevPsy 🗣💬 INCOMING SUMMARY🧵ALERT 1/14

Thinking of SEM as causal inference is really useful, it becomes a readily apparent that paths in a well fitting model are hypotheses rather than results.

We are happy to announce that we are looking for a candidate willing to apply for an INRIA permanent researcher position to join our COPHY team in Lyon (France). The deadline for this first stage is December 8, 2023! drive.google.com/file/d/1Pnv4...

New preprint 🚨🧠 from Michael Myers, Alyssa Labonte, Chad Sylvester & team at WashU! Functional parcellation of the neonatal brain, developed from a dataset of resting-state fMRI from 261 neonates #neuroskyence www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Now available at Nature Communications! When do adolescents reach adult levels of executive function? We used FOUR independent datasets (N>10,000), behavioral data from 17 distinct EF tasks, and nonlinear modeling to address this and related questions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧠📊 We examined longitudinal stability of gray matter measures (cortical thickness, surface area, and volume) across brain regions in ABCD data, also comparing different parcellations. #neurometrics Preprint on OSF: osf.io/rxmn2/ work led by brilliant Sam Parsons

I’m excited to share our new preprint – led by @hyejinjadelee.bsky.social & Derek Smith – where we applied precision approaches (i.e., extensive per-participant data collection) to behavioral measures of inhibitory control. osf.io/preprints/ps... Attempting my first bluesky 🧵 in the following....

This can’t be true.

I currently have two PhD opportunities available. One is on early EF dev in children born preterm, the other is on the association between attention and early EF dev. Please share or get in touch if interested :-) www.findaphd.com/phds/project... www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Codes are available for scientists, clinicians, academics, and other researchers and scholars trying to leave “that other site”! Current special requests include librarians, paleoanthropologists, and women in astrophysics, genomics, and bioinformatics. Please share! forms.gle/ZyYhpa5MHT66... 🧪 🩺

One year ago today, I defended my PhD and embarked on a new chapter. During this past year, I have relocated to a different country (🇫🇷 ➡️ 🇺🇸) and delved into new areas of research that truly excite me (🫄🧠). As I look back on this journey, I can't help but wonder what the next year will bring.

This is ✨✨ Plenty of resources for other career stages as well!

Unnecessarily wordy academic language: -“in the context of.” Usually “in” does it. -“While [long clause about X], [long clause about Y].” Usually better to have a sentence of X and then one on Y. -“the ways in which,” usually “how” can do the trick. Others #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky

#HiSciSky ! I'm Iris, a developmental psychologist, currently postdoc at NYU Langone. I try to articulate different data modalities (cerebral, genetic, behavioral and environmental) to better characterize development and learning with a focus on early factors 🫄🧠👶 #Neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

Two things that are still missing over here are breaking news of worldwide importance and memes, let me help with the latter #academicsky #neuroskyence
