📣 Postdoc in Human Neurophysiology & Neurorehab 📣 The Real-Time NeuroRehabilitation Lab at the U of Iowa is hiring a Postdoctoral Research Scholar! Motor control, EEG/TMS, neurorehabilitation, and real-time multimodal methods. 📅 Summer/Fall 2026 📧 [email protected] 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Both MRC and BBSRC responsive modes now withdrawn until further notice.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

Our phenomenal speakers include @tomstafford.mastodon.online.ap.brid.gy @alelautarescu.bsky.social @olivia.science @irisvanrooij.bsky.social Phoebe Wallman (not on Bluesky)

Please spread the word🔊My lab is looking to hire two international postdocs. If you want to do comp neuro, combine machine learning and awesome math to understand neural circuit activity, then come work with us! Bonn is such a cool place for neuroscience now, you don't want to miss out.

Postdocs: you will not find a better opportunity than this 👇

To find out about how #TMS #BrainStim users collect, analyse & share their data, we've made a very brief TMS survey: forms.gle/83Abpj5F8qzd... It should take you less than 5 minutes & does not ask for any personal information. We'll use the answers to plan our future work. Please share! 🙏🙏🙏 ⚡

Friday is a big day for the TMS-RAT🤩

Future pain neuroscientists, do get in touch if this PhD opportunity interests you ... happy to answer questions and advise.

This is a great scheme - check it out if you are looking for a PhD opportunity. Lots of exciting projects this year (as always!)

Please repost! We have an open rank, tenure-line faculty position in biomechanics in the School of Kinesiology at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. At U-M we have great colleagues, exceptional resources, and biomechanics can be found all across the campus. #BiomechSky

Do you live with #ChronicPain? Your story matters. Share a snapshot of your day – however big or small – to help others understand life with pain. Deadline extended to Mon 1st Sept 2025 uniofbath.questionpro.eu/t/AB3uySWZB3... #PainStories #PatientVoice

New job vacancy! Joint PhD: Prevent Falls with Augmented Reality (FallAR) at Maastricht & Hasselt Universities vacancies.maastrichtuniversity.nl/job/Maastric... with me, @melvynroerdink.bsky.social Pieter Meyns & @kennethmeijer.bsky.social @ispgr.bsky.social @worldfallssociety.bsky.social

We are recruiting a postdoc for an exciting multi-disciplinary project that explores the use of quantum sensors to measure muscle behaviour - looking for someone with skills in ultrasound, mocap, and EMG - funded by QLD Government's Quantum 2032 Challenge uq.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/uqcare...

Like many others, we’ve left X so we’re new around here - and with a new name too (formerly Dunhill Medical Trust). We’re looking forward to connecting with those who have great ideas and methods for improving the health and well-being of older people.

We are looking for autistic volunteers for a research project on balance and falls. Contact [email protected] if you're interested

Let's imagine a company tells 100 employees that in 2 months time, 20 of them will be fired and gives no indication of how the decision will be made as to which 20 individuals this will be. [1/5]

Cardiff University run paid summer on-campus internships for students, which is a great initiative. I advertised a research internship for this year and received 27 applications. In all honesty, I would have been very happy to give it to any one of at least 25 of these students.

How does a 500% discount work... Does this mean they'd pay me?!

Very strong 'It's Friday afternoon and we're all failing when trying to estimate how long a task will take' energy here

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Clinical Researchers: I am here to warn you about a meteor hurling towards us. That meteor represents increasing scrutiny of clinical research; and in particular how we approach data collection, analysis, interpretation and reporting. Prepare now, or face the consequences. 1/

"The university is a ticking time bomb. But the mental health impact assessment of these cuts (another Friday PDF) says we can lean on our line managers. My line manager, a quiet mid-career academic with an international research reputation, is also devastated."

I put some introductory #EEG / #MEG videos together, based on our introduction to #neuroimaging at the @mrccbu.bsky.social : youtube.com/playlist?lis.... They should cover the most common aspects of EEG/MEG analysis, including pre-processing, source estimation and functional connectivity.

This will start to filter through the community today but the Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Science Study section has been postponed to an unknown future date. The approvals at the highest levels that needed to happen for a federal review meeting to be held didn’t get done. 1/n

A glut of scientific publication has created a big problem: Not all of it is high quality and "peer review" is not a guarantee. It's particularly concerning that it would need to be said the very same week researchers everywhere were put on the defensive by the threat of massive grant-funding cuts.

“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics... All of this. All. Of. It.

The Trump administration's chaotic changes to diversity-based funding have left trainees in limbo. My colleagues and I at @thetransmitter.bsky.social spoke to ten neuroscience trainees about what the uncertainty means for them, their research and their futures: www.thetransmitter.org/funding/a-gu...

New page! Hope it’s useful for students who know something about academia, but haven’t yet reflected critically on the importance of #researchintegrity. Hope it annoys anyone who is boring enough to think that integrity is only about following basic rules. www.trickygoose.training/intro_resear...

In clinical research, you will often receive feedback on study design, stats, and/or data analysis from an editor or reviewer that is simply wrong. Here is a list of common "statistical myths" and references you can use to push back. discourse.datamethods.org/t/reference-...

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Wow, I hadn’t released this part. Wow

5. Other schools may have even higher overhead rates. Harvard's is around 69%. This new order slashes that percentage to a maximum of 15%. This means cutting one of the most important sources of university funding nationwide by 75% or more. Universities cannot function with this scale of cut.

Indirect costs = the costs of keeping a university running. Heating and lighting it, the library, the IT department, HR, cleaning etc. The actual costs are perhaps 50-100% of the direct costs of research. This is a pillow on the face of academic research in USA.

Holy crap: now they are cutting indirect rates to 15% for all NIH grants. The heavy hitters in research (the Ivys and research institutes) have been playing things soft. I pray this will provoke them off the sidelines. If this stands, us research and economy 💩💩💩 arstechnica.com/science/2025...

We are very excited to announce the open release of a new 170 participant dataset: Linked MEG, TMS, multimodal 3T MRI, 7T MRI, Connectom MRI, cognitive /questionnaire data. Immense effort from a fabulous CUBRIC team. Paper by Carolyn McNabb et al: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Really excited to have this work out in the world… this TMS setup has been a long time in the making! Please take a look and let us know what you think. It was a pleasure to work with @smbruijn.bsky.social for the first time, and the fantastic MSc student Raven Huiberts. Thanks to @royalsociety.org
