Super excited to share this one, out now in J Neuro! Memory reactivation during sleep does not act holistically on object memory. Led by the amazing @lizsiefert.bsky.social!!

Planning out research proposal, collecting data from a pilot, pushing collab who I consider a friend to pursue it further and how it will be an exciting project for us, and I've found out they've applied for a grant to research it without me. Completely blindsided by it and unsure how to address.

Getting an email at nearly 4pm on a Friday from a Journal saying "a decision about your manuscript will be made soon" is exactly the kind of anxiety inducing moment I need the least right now.

“It’s an important piece of the puzzle on digital-media use and mental health... If social media and Internet and mobile-phone use is really such a devastating force in our society, we'd see it on this bird’s-eye view [study] — but we don’t. @markusappel.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

For the first time in my academic career I have time (not teaching) to write a grant and go for funding. I am finding this one of the least enjoyable experiences, especially as it's my ~2nd attempt at one. What tips do people have? How do I make this easier?

We must combat bad science & fraud because dodgy 'peer-reviewed' work is being used to give credibility to positions in high-stakes areas with real consequences. The publishers who let in weak/fraudulent work with minimal scrutiny are complicit. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/a...

"The Neurodiversity Concept Was Developed Collectively: An Overdue Correction on the Origins of Neurodiversity Theory." The concept of #neurodiversity came from collective #autistic creativity, not from one person. Let's set the record straight. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

"Speaking as a parent, we all want our children to be safe, and years of newspaper headlines have suggested that social media is causing a children’s mental health crisis. However, the best scientific evidence we have so far simply doesn’t back this narrative" www.sciencefocus.com/comment/soci...

Open Science People! Without trawling through several hundred pages of OSF.io, do people have good examples of Pre-reg posters? Modifying my 2nd Year Developmental course and rather than get them to summarise a previous experiment, I want them to think about Pre-Reg and designing their own.

In the middle of presenting this slide I realised that every year we teach ~500 women how to code as part of 1st year psychology, and if I do nothing else with my career, it will have all been worth it.

No teaching for the rest of the academic year, and first time I've had proper departmental support for research. What a difference a supportive department makes 🧑‍🔬

As good and enjoyable going to GYMM Wed-Friday was last week, I'm now having that full realisation of how much work I have to make up in a short amount of time. Past John owes Present John.
