Excited to be at #BCCCD26 . Last time was 8 (eight!!) years ago.

Many people have been giving excellent updates about the $1.6 million that RFK Jr. has given to Danish researchers to “study” the HepB birth dose in Guinea-Bissau, and I’m glad this story is spreading. The first thing that was confirmed is that the researchers are Benn and Aady, as many predicted.

Are you a woman interested in a postdoc in STEM @univie.ac.at and perhaps specifically in working with me on early brain development and cognition @kinderstudien.bsky.social Check out this call 👇 careers.univie.ac.at/en/postdoc/e...

Excuse me, they're gonna do what?! Sickening.

"LLMs are structurally indifferent to truth" should be the first line any LLM spits out before they formulate a response to a prompt.

I've got a fully-funded PhD studentship open at @birkbeckpsychology.bsky.social, investigating social learning about metacognition & awareness, w/ behavioural studies & neuroimaging (fMRI) - thanks to @leverhulme.ac.uk More details here: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DPV831/p... #cogsci #neuroskyence

When you're making food for your husband, picky preschooler and toddler...and you already know that the only one who will eat it without complaints is the husband.

The goal is to use information about hormonal cycles to target new, more effective therapies for women with depression. Please please PLEASE reach out to me with questions. I am incredibly excited about this project 🙂 And please repost for visibility, thanks 🙏

In this position you will work with TMS and neuroimaging (next-gen OPM sensors developed here at @thechbh.bsky.social @uob-sop.bsky.social) to understand the effects of the menstrual cycle on the excitability of the brain. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Passionate about women's mental health? Interested in brain stimulation? Excited by cutting edge neurotech? Come do a PhD with me! www.findaphd.com/phds/project... (thread)

I still can't quite believe this is a 5-minute walk away from my house.

My kids are loving this wooden Advent Calendar by Meri Meri.

Trigger warnings abound, but this is an important read.

Trying to find a semi-professional photo of myself and realising that all somewhat recent photos that feature me also feature my children. I might eventually just have to have some headshots taken...

New paper alert: Beyond the Adult Mind: A Developmental Framework for Predictive Processing in Infancy! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #PsychSciSky #DevPsyc #CogPsyc #neuroskyence

YES! "to explain all human cognition, we inherently must include development". Beyond the Adult Mind: A Developmental Framework for Predictive Processing in Infancy - Ward - Topics in Cognitive Science - Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Creating slides for an intro lecture to developmental cognitive neuroscience. Methods and the pure brain changes (synaptic pruning, gyrification, etc) are covered. What work would you absolutely put in regarding the brain-cognition-behavior link in early dev? #neuroskyence #devpsy #cogsci

I've been away from Bluesky for 1,5 years, so just to update whoever is unaware: I'm at UPF Barcelona now. If you're ever around, please come and say hi :-)

Trying to find my way back onto bsky! Are there any important chances since March last year that I should know about?

What is the name of that tv series from at least 20 years ago where one of the main characters is a bald white guy and they wear blue overall-type uniforms? It's some action or crime series...

Hi Amsterdammers on BlueSky, where can I best print a scientific poster (A0) close to Central Station or Amstel Station?

Join us!

Publication Day! Moving experimental psychology online: How to obtain high quality data I hope this will be useful www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

IF THIS EXISTED ALL ALONG, WHY DON'T WE HAVE IT???

Omg, plastic kitchen foil in Japan is so much better than in Europe. What the hell... I didn't know it was possible to have foil that is easy to tear and doesn't break or stick at every move. 😲

Guess what! @suhasvijayakumar.bsky.social has made it to bsky as well! 🤩

Funding alert! A new Royal Society independent postdoc fellowship scheme launches next week. Lots of funding and very prestigious. Only for applicants of black heritage. Good to see the RS putting substantial money behind a plan to diversify research. royalsociety.org/grants-schem...

Y'know how in different countries things are different... And sometimes that's good, sometimes that's annoying, sometimes it's neutral... And sometimes it's WHY TF DON'T WE HAVE THAT? Baby seats in public toilet stalls, as seen in Japan, is definitely within that final category.

Dear people of Japan, where are your public trash cans? Am I not seeing/recognising them or are they just not there?

View from my (very) temporary office... Visiting UTokyo for 2 weeks 🤓

Yesterday I was participating in the '9th Behavioral Health Student Research Symposium of Southern Puerto Rico' at Ponce Health Sciences University presenting two of my research projects. Happy to share that I won 3rd place in both categories (oral and poster). 🧠🥳✨

Hey lovely people 👋🏽 I’m Clíona and I am a postdoc at Yale University. I combine virtual reality and neuroimaging in my research. My interests are in social interaction (with real and virtual humans) and I’m currently exploring psychological risk in the maternal brain! 🧠

💡 DANS has created a very helpful guide (doi.org/10.5281/zeno...) and flowchart (doi.org/10.5281/zeno...) for when you want to publish your qualitative data but don't know what options you have! Spoiler alert ⚠️: probably more than you thought!

My paper on improving data quality for online experiments has just been accepted. Massively improved by the reviewers - collaborative peer review at its constructive best psyarxiv.com/2fhcb

#devpsych research, of course, means productive arts & crafts time with your lab - 2 hours of fun and 13 infant head-cams (BabyViews) ready to be used by families for data collection!🐞

This is really, really good if you are interested in independent research, survey development, how to get people to not only take your survey but enjoy doing it, sexology, porn, fetish or kink asteriskmag.com/issues/04/ha... #AcademicSky

Stayed up way too late to submit a grant, especially considering that I'm just recovering from a throat infection, BUT at least I get to enjoy tomorrow (the grant deadline AND our wedding anniversary) instead of stressing about the final details.

Wow. Just... wow. Thank you so much for your effort @pkpd-babe.bsky.social

Guess what?! To celebrate the launch of our #SciComm glossary scicommlexicon.com, we're hosting a #sciart version of #inktober! Visually interpret 31 terms from our lexicon throughout October- you might find they mirror @inktober's prompts, so you can do both! #scicommink Follow IG @scicomm.letters

a couple of people have reached out in the past to tell me they were teaching my work (which is v exciting and nice to hear!) if anyone else has been (or plans to), could you let me know? would be helpful for a thing

For the last 6 weeks my child has been taking cold after cold after cold home from daycare. I was surprised how I hadn't gotten sick... well... no more. Sore throat, stuffy head, it's all there. 😒🤧

“The model explains the experimt results” no, that model actually just summarises the experimental results

Ooh I just discovered a new feature in blue sky mobile app - include posts from your feeds in the main feed! It works great so you don’t have to check your feeds specifically.

Yesterday was world contraceptive day! Did you know that only 38 states mandate sexual education or HIV education? And that only 20 require information on contraception? Of those states, only 18 require program content to be medically accurate. Learn more here: www.guttmacher.org/state-policy...

Just read my first thread on Bluesky and it was glorious. Go to your settings, thread preferences, and click on threaded mode!

So the current generation of babies falls asleep to white noise and listens to it for many hours during sleep. It's the thing among parents and even daycares. Has anyone done any research on the effects? 😅 #devpsych psychscisky #neuroscience

Many psychophysics & brain mapping studies use small samples. This often deeply confuses editors & reviewers trained on population statistics. It can also make it difficult to preregister & interpret such studies. Here we attempt to change that: doi.org/10.1101/2023... #neuroscience #visionscience

The Big Team Science Conference isn't on Bluesky (yet), so we're happy to announce on their behalf that the 2023 BTSCON program is available now! bigteamscienceconference.github.io/program/
