How totally totally crass to find the destruction of the thousand careers of a thousand dedicated staff “exciting.” 1/3 www.timeshighereducation.com/news/notting...

Holy crap that was an exhausting game of rugby to watch. Disappointing end, but an amazing game.

Great to hear Prof David Sanderson from @durhampsych.bsky.social tell us about "Prediction error and the rate of learning in Pavlovian conditioning" during today's @notts-psych.bsky.social seminar.
