What happens when serious academics try to be funny - a single case example. Or my debut in stand-up comedy 🤪https://youtu.be/LKLJ5mUZxFU

Inspiring venue for a workshop lunch 👌🙂

Here is my story of how I cycled ~2000 km around the Netherlands in 5 days and 21 hours. dcdace.net/2026/05/12/r...

A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.

We are excited to announce #COGNESTIC 2026 @mrccbu.bsky.social in Cambridge, between 14-25 Sep 2026. Our 2-week summer school provides training in state-of-the-art methods for open neuroimaging analysis and great opportunities for professional networking: www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/events/cogne...

Ten Simple Rules for AI-Assisted Coding in Science arxiv.org/abs/2510.22254 - our latest, led by @ericwbridgeford.bsky.social

Tried to take advantage of April Fools' Day and draw more attention to my otherwise unspectacular poster. Not sure it worked. Some people genuinely congratulated me. And when I apologised for the joke, they laughed and congratulated me on a good joke. @ismrm.bsky.social #Annapolis ☺️

Happy to have contributed to this multi-site MRS study led by @drkatdyke.bsky.social! We found a minimal impact of the menstrual cycle on GABA and GSH measures. The menstrual cycle should not justify excluding women from MRS research. 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.jn...

Mandatory listening. Peter has a knack for these interviews. And this dropped just a week after Seiji turned 91.

Didn't know about this, not only intellectual but also genetic link between George Boole and Geoffrey E. Hinton. Simon Peyton Jones gave an amazing talk at #DarwinCollege yesterday. Great content, engaging delivery, and he spoke so fast I couldn’t zone out like I often do during talks🙂

Happy to share our new paper on the inhibition of memory retrieval in dissociative amnesia, with @dcdace.bsky.social, Hirokazu Kikuchi, Nobuhito Abe &, Jun Kawaguchi, Mike Kopelman & @memorycontrol.bsky.social doi.org/10.1017/S003...

I agree with this - Python dependency management truly is a dumpster fire.

Haha, the authors didn't even bother to delete that always-so-positive ChatGPT start of response: "Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic"! 😂

Join us for another two weeks of Cognitive Neuroimaging Skills Training In Cambridge, #COGNESTIC, 16-27 September, 2024. We provide training in state-of-the-art methods for open neuroimaging analysis, focussing on MRI, fMRI and EEG/MEG. www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/events/cogne...

Is it worth paying and upgrading from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4?
