Out in the UK today! press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

In the realm of book publishing, @princetonupress.bsky.social is a *very* special place. If you're curious & wonder if/why you might want to work with PUP, considering checking out this thread that I published last year, near the publication of my 2025 book. bsky.app/profile/nico...

Wonderful first day of talks at the Comparative Brain meeting @pasteur.fr. Many thanks to all the presenters & to @k4tj4.bsky.social @r3rt0.bsky.social and team for organizing this meeting braintrees.github.io/ComparativeB... 🧪🧠

Paper alert! Very happy to see Chloe's amazing mouse-human comparative-to-translational paper out: doi.org/10.1016/j.eb... @oxcin.bsky.social /w @mristam.bsky.social

Always great to see Tinbergen cited in a neuroscience paper

Filing an expense claim with your university--this really shouldn't have to take 2 hours...

Had a wonderful time, thank you for having me!

Looking forward!

Very much looking forward to speaking at @ehbea2026.bsky.social

Why would sea squirts eat their own brains? In his new book, “The Fox, The Shrew, and You: How Brains Evolved,” Rogier Mars provides a detailed account of this and other quirks in animal and human brain evolution. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/evolution/th...

We are hiring! www.ru.nl/en/working-a...

Don't forget! ⏰ Early Bird Registration for #EHBEA2026 closes TOMORROW! 🐦✨ Don’t miss your chance to secure a discounted spot at four days of inspiring research, stimulating keynotes & vibrant discussion in Leiden 🇳🇱🧠🌷 Register now and join us 14–17 April! 📅 ➡️https://www.ehbea2026.com/

Deadline in 3 days (Thursday 5th) to apply for a PhD with me and @ktsetsos.bsky.social at Trinity College Dublin in Cognitive Computational Neuroscience / neuro-AI. Please share!

Both MRC and BBSRC responsive modes now withdrawn until further notice. Existing applications unlikely to succeed (late 2025 round expecting 1-5% success rate). Listen, I get that UKRI wants to pivot. But killing both at once is devastating. Let's hope at least one opens by summer... #AcademicSky

It's finally fully 'version of record' out! As @magdalenaboch.bsky.social says, more to come.

Save the date! FSL Course 2026 is provisionally planned in-person​ for June 22nd - 26th in Bordeaux, France. More details and the registration link will be posted on the FSL Course website soon. open.oxcin.ox.ac.uk/pages/fslcou...

Finally, the full version of our paper on the distribution of functions within monkey VLPF is out! For anyone interested, I'll briefly explain the main results in this thread (1/5) @plosbiology.org #prefrontal #neuroscience #ephys #dataanalysis

Christmas reading book 3: @lewisdartnell.bsky.social’s Being Human is my kind of book: wide ranging, fast paced, and about the interaction between biology and history

New paper out! It was an honor to collaborate with the legend Leah Krubitzer on this review to show that paleontologists and neurobiologists working together can only improve our understanding of brain evolution 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s44... Full access to the paper: rdcu.be/eK167

Happy #worlddogday! 🐶 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬 In this video, you will discover how dogs support us in our research at the University of Vienna and what we can learn from dogs about our own social behavior. 🧠 ⤵️

Ecology and neuroscience. Like the sound of that :-)

Oxford Autumn School in Neuroscience is go!

Great to see this article on Kamilla's amazing work!

This bit: quentinatkinson.substack.com/p/15-create-...

My colleague Quentin Atkinson wrote this piece - How Not To Run a University. It is an insanely good read about how managerialism is destroying universities. Make time for it. Talk about it. Share it. quentinatkinson.substack.com/s/how-not-to...

I’d love to hear more ideas about this. I’ve been brainstorming for my own teaching. How to we stop teaching the brain as a domino chain (where disorders are broken dominos) but instead as a multi-level dynamical system? Starting at the earliest stages? Please chime in! A few thoughts …

Second, I understand there’s a movement in education to think about things like ecology and climate as big holistic dynamical systems (even in grade school). We can learn from that. Anyone w/ pointers, please chime in!

Karolinska is looking for 20 (!!) assistant professors and offering 6 year appointments with ~1M USD startup packages. ki.se/en/about-ki/...

Finished reading @nicolecrust.bsky.social’s Elusive Cures. Very interesting. I wonder, how do we change the way we train our students to help implement the new Grand Plan?
