Very sad to see my uni (University of Nottingham) suspending its Music degree and all undergraduate courses in Modern Languages, on the basis that they have low uptake and the uni hasn't enough money to carry them. Students will lose out, the uni will lose out, society loses out ...

Huge thanks to @psychopy.org and especially @hirstrj.bsky.social ! After spending thousands on other tools with little support, Dr. Hirst solved all my technical problems within days. If you are using behavioral, eyetracking, and EEG systems in your lab, I recommend checking out PsychoPy.

We've been going green: got a 2nd hand EV (an MG ZS) and love it! Also got solar panels and battery, so now I'm in that mode of constantly checking to see how much it's charging! (Mostly just because of the novelty). Will update soon on how it's going, but good so far 😎
