A momentous occasion: 'Java Man' is going back to Indonesia, along with more than 28,000 other fossils that Dutch scientist Eugène Dubois collected during the colonial era. My story: www.science.org/content/arti...

Ironic speech-in-noise issues are ubiquitous at auditory science conference poster sessions. I just found out there is a fruit science equivalent

The festival of circular reasoning continues

Finally, @cdaube.bsky.social telling it like it is

Full house this morning at the @mrccbu.bsky.social for the Cambridge Speech Decoding Workshop @drmattdavis.bsky.social @jremygiroud.bsky.social

Alexis Deighton MacIntyre and Lidea Shahidi @mrccbu.bsky.social will explore the experimental control & generative capabilities of state-of-the-art speech synthesis to produce audiological testing materials and conduct evaluation to ensure fit for use in clinical tests to assess speech perception.

We are delighted to announce the 2024 Accelerate Science - Cambridge Centre for Data Driven Discovery funded projects. Projects will catalyse discoveries to accelerate scientific progress & create AI tools capable of delivering benefits for science & society. Find out more: bit.ly/4ikKL1b

Looking to develop your career in AI for Science? We are recruiting Machine Learning Engineers to join the Accelerate team, developing and delivering support for researchers across the University of Cambridge using AI in their work. Find out more & apply by 4 March: www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50193/

Cognitive psych is often traced back to the 1950s. Psychology is often traced to Wundt's lab in 1879. Textbooks speak of "proto-psychologists" like Fechner & Helmholtz in the 1800s... Westerners all. Have you heard about Ibn al-Haytham, whose work predated them by 100s of years? 1/4

In this Insight for Brain and Neuroscience Advances, I argue that greater cultural diversity within our field will help counter researcher cognitive bias, leading to generative new theories and research directions https://buff.ly/40DWssK 🌏⚛️🏳️‍🌈
