Off we fo for #SBDM2025!

Registrations are now open for the Symposium on the Biology of Decision-Making (SBDM), 16-18 June 2025 in Lyon! Please check out our exciting program and register until May 1st for early registration rates! sbdm2025.github.io

For the francophones out there, we've just launched a national online survey about social network use in adults and adolescents. Don't hesitate to participate (15-20 min) and spread the word! www.sual.fr/about-5 @juliadeter.bsky.social @joelbillieux.bsky.social @benjaminrolland.bsky.social

This should be a fantastic conference, we have an exciting line-up of speakers and great food! Please consider joining and spread the word!

Interesting, coming from an adminstration that puts free speech above all values... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration works on two of the most urgent U.S. health problems and has generally received bipartisan support. By the end of this week, the staff of the agency could be cut by 50%, according to senior staff members.

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

This is like the climate crisis: we've accumulated loads of evidence that the ecosystem we created is unsustainable and has detrimental effects, but we keep not acting on it...

Wow this sounds really cool @cophy.bsky.social

Interesting food for thought for the burgeoning field of move fMRI. @charleslaidi.bsky.social @paulinefavre.bsky.social

We've been paying over 8$ billion in APCs to 6 main publishers. This is simply outrageous and unsustainable. arxiv.org/abs/2407.16551 via @themeta.news

Full and unconditional support to @deevybee.bsky.social

What a great decision! www.science.org/content/arti... Thank you Clarivate, it makes me want *even more* to submit my next paper to @elife.bsky.social !

Super interesting initiative: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

PhD opportunity in Lyon in neuropsychiatry 👇, please share ! Topic: brain connectivity during naturalistic fMRI as a predictive marker of disease trajectory after first-episode psychosis. More details in the document attached below. Contact: [email protected]

We were surprised by a recent #Frontiers blog. They make derogatory statements, accuse us of data manipulation & mischaracterize our comms with them. 😔 Critiques of our work are welcome. Falsehoods about us and our work are not. Here we set the record straight. 1/7 #SciPub #AcademicSky #PeerReview

Very interesting and informative study with "null results". And also the first time I see a neuroscience paper where the first and only author is a consortium, rather than an individual. Best way to reinforce team work. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Very amusing to see how Frontiers phrase their request to review manuscripts as an "Opportunity to review a new Original Research Article". Wow, such an honor, I feel humbled :-)!

New proposal from cOAlition S on OA publishing: 1. Authors, not third-party suppliers, decide when and what to publish 2. The scholarly record includes the full range of outputs created during the research cycle Amen to this! www.coalition-s.org/blog/introdu...

Ever been confused how to relate 3 variables (like Age, Brain and Cognition) via linear statistical models? See this gentle primer (with @rogierk.bsky.social) for structural equation modelling, including concepts like mediation, moderation and measurement invariance: github.com/MRC-CBU/misc...

Waking up to the death of Karl Tremblay this morning... Filled with sadness... Thank you for all the beautiful songs you have left us with ❤️

Flight Quotas Hold the Most Significant Potential for Reducing Carbon Emissions from Academic Travel eartharxiv.org/repository/v... --> only "moderating air travel distance or frequency can achieve a significant reduction in the green house gas emissions from academic travel" via @themeta.news

Great initiative to flip subscription journals to open access mitpress.mit.edu/shiftOPEN/ via @themeta.news

⭐️New PhD position⭐️ on Understanding and disrupting Social Decision-Making in Health and Disorder, joint with the wonderful @arkadykonovalov and funded by BBSRC warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fa.... Details of our lovely lab www.sdn-lab.org. Send your CV + cover letter to me by Dec 5th. Pls RT!

"Scientists are increasingly overwhelmed by the volume of articles being published [...] in 2022 the article total was 47% higher than in 2016" 🤯 arxiv.org/abs/2309.15884 I agree with Uta Frith, we need to "restrict the number of papers anyone can publish [to one] per year" doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...

My lab is seeking a postdoc to work on Wellcome trust/ERC grants to examine the cognitive, computational & neural basis of human motivation and decision-making. www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DDS251/r.... This is a 2.5 year post initially with possibility of extension. Deadline is November 17th. Please repost!

So happy to see lots of great colleagues joining! To make this community thrive, use reposting liberally 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️🙌🖐️ 📩📩📩📩📩📩📩

New paper with @ianhussey.bsky.social @taymalsalti.bsky.social @rubenarslan.bsky.social. Most measures are only used once or twice, w/o agreement on gold standards - a serious barrier to cumulative science. that leads to lots of papers without meaningful progress. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Hello Bluesky community! Took me a while while but finally made the from the other place 😀. Looking forward new adventures here!
