Was a great pleasure to record this podcast with James - thanks for having me @psychologyuea.bsky.social

@thetransmitter.bsky.social presents a portrait of the state of neuroscience in 2025 through four lenses: its focus, its output, its people and its funding. Each view features analyses of major trends and more. Explore the end of year report: bit.ly/4oNeTVC #neuroskyence #StateofNeuro

This, to be considered by the House of Commons this afternoon, needs to cause as much political trouble for the government as the welfare bill. Ask your MP to stand up for the right to protest.

Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone. You're going to need a bigger prison. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECkV...

If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences? This is where we show them how solidarity works. My latest with the great @doubledown.news

As we seem to, yet again, be talking about the hot UK summer of 1976, a reminder that the UK is not the world. Yes, it was hot that summer over our small region, but the bigger picture tells a different story. And, we've had hotter UK summers since.

The government's Crime and Policing Bill is at Report Stage in the House of Commons. Yet scarcely anyone is alert to the implications of Sections 114 & 115, which (as everywhere's close to a place of worship), greatly increase police powers to shut down protest. Please tell MPs and friendly peers.

The scale of the disaster is hard to grasp, but this photo of the Cambrian Mountains, viewed from Drygarn Fawr (taken by Velella), gives you a sense of it. It's just one of our terrestrial dead zones, but it covers roughly 300km2.
