Science persists

Have had a great speaking trip across Asia, giving talks in Singapore, Bangkok, and now wrapping up in Hong Kong.

🎉 eLife is pleased to announce Timothy Behrens (@behrenstimb.bsky.social) as our new Editor-in-Chief! A distinguished neuroscientist and long-time supporter, Tim will lead our efforts in transforming research communication for all.

Everyone needs at least one colleague to routinely remind them that sometimes less is more. Do fewer things better. You don't need to solve every interesting problem or answer every interesting question you encounter.

The RLDM workshop list is now up! Have a look: rldm.org/call-for-wor... More workshop details coming soon :) There were so many wonderful submissions---this was really tough for the committee. Huge thanks to all involved, and looking forward to seeing folks in Dublin

Want to get editing experience? If you have a PhD & are a member of a group that’s historically underrepresented in editorial roles, apply for a 1 yr editorial fellowship at one of APS’s journals (including Psych Science)! Deadline 7 Feb. Please share! www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

Eleanor Maguire, who died 4 January at age 54, pioneered the famous London taxi-driver study and naturalistic approaches for studying spatial and episodic memory in people. By @callimcflurry.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/memory/remem...

Is Alzheimer’s prevention next? We didn’t have GLP-1 at the top of the list. If you told me that the venomous saliva of a Gila monster was going to be the answer, I would have probably said you were nuts. Love science! 🦎🧠 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

This is why I science 👩‍🚀👩🏻‍🔬

We celebrated the #newyear on London time, but with Florida weather 🌴

Hot take for 2025: I don’t know what to do with social media.

Less than 30 years from Gila Monster saliva to treatment for diabetes, weight loss, compulsive behavior and, now, sleep apnea. SCIENCE ROCKS!

Excited to close out the year at NIA with a spotlight on our PREPARE Challenge for early prediction of dementia! 🧠 ✔️ Key meetings ✔️ New funding opportunities ✔️ Paper revisions ❓ Government shutdown ❤️ Holiday cuddles with this crew ⭐️ Bring on 2025! ⭐️ www.linkedin.com/pulse/nia-mo...

The narrative on old people being more likely to be fraud victims was tough to evaluate given how overtargeted they were for many years. Now seems tech is making it easier to target the young & ppl are now saying young adults are more susceptible. Anyone can be a victim. This is an all ages problem

Scientists - consider writing up your research for Frontiers for Young Minds (if you are brave enough to face kid reviewers 😉). Here's how: kids.frontiersin.org/participate/... Like Liza Fazio! @lkfazio.bsky.social Or Yann LeCun! @ylecun.bsky.social kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10....

This is a good analysis explaining why the scientic migration to bluesky worked when it failed to take hold with mastadon, threads, or linkedin. The key is network effects: Moving an entire community is hard and people are reluctant to leaveit www.science.org/content/arti...

we are SO VERY excited to have Bradley joining us at neuromatch! #neuroskyence #brain #neuroai #compneuro #climatescience please help us welcome him and stay tuned for exciting things to come!

Get your abstract submissions ready for RLDM 2025, at Trinity College in Dublin (abstracts due 1/15). Tutorial submissions close on 12/20. RLDM is a terrific interdisciplinary conference at the intersection of computational theory (AI, ML, robotics), cognitive science, psychology, and neuroscience.

Clinical Psych PhD admissions is wild! I’m not a clinical sort, but a subset of my department’s PhD students are. We received 811 applications this year for ~8 positions. Of those, each of our non-clinical faculty: 10s of apps; each of our clinical faculty: 100s (for 1 slot). Genuinely curious:..

@mikekrashes.bsky.social this could have been us! except these two have much better chemistry and the content is SFW: notebooklm.google.com/notebook/f28...

One year ago, we launched the Ann S. Bowers Women’s Brain Health Initiative and what a year it’s been! From groundbreaking research to building a community of motivated and brilliant people, we’re proud to champion women’s brain health for generations to come.

Who is the best professor at managing their lab that you know?

It was an honor to be invited by @erictopol.bsky.social to appear on his Ground Truths podcast!

Have ideas for an interdisciplinary workshop? Get involved at RLDM to tackle key challenges, open problems, or controversial topics! 🎤 Formats: Talks, panels, hackathons, debates—your choice! 👥 All career stages welcome to lead. 🗓️ Deadline to apply: 10th December. Link 🔽 rldm.org/call-for-wor...

NIA’s PREPARE Challenge is live! It features our first-ever audio data challenge!! 🗣️ 💰 $260,000 in total prizes!! 📅 Deadline: Dec. 19, 2024 The goal of PREPARE is to advance algorithms and approaches for early prediction of Alzheimer’s and related dementias. Learn more at prepare.drivendata.org

We’re still trying to find all of our #BlackInNeuro fam here 👀 Let @blackinneuro.bsky.social know if you want to be added to this starter pack & use the BIN hashtag on your posts so we can amplify you 🤗❤️ go.bsky.app/F8PpdPe

Hello #neuroeconomists and decision (neuro)scientists - did I miss you in this starterpack? Just reply to this post or DM if you'd like to be added! go.bsky.app/1K9Suh

I'm compiling a list of researchers whose work relates to cognitive and computational neurology for Alzheimer's and related dementia. Must have missed many, so let me know if you feel you should be added! go.bsky.app/VcJLzRz

@umakarma.bsky.social please add me to #neuroeconomics

@lstoeckel.bsky.social tells me he actually start posting here after reading about this. #neurosky #geronsky
