"[F]rom the 1940s to the 1970s, a Bell Labs job was said to be just like working at a research university, except the pay was better, the equipment was more up-to-date, the machine shop was available for all your needs and you didn’t have to spend time teaching or applying for research grants."

Big news! I loved researching and writing this book, which is all about shedding the shame, and getting really curious about urges to pick, pull and bite. I can't wait to share it with you! It's out on April 2nd, and is available to pre-order now. #bfrb #bfrbs #bodyfocusedrepetitivebehaviors

year after year, OSR has been given less and less, to a ridiculous 'solution' for this year

Congratulations to Steve Smith @fmrib-steve.bsky.social for winning the OHBM 2025 Glass Brain Award! This lifetime achievement award recognises extraordinary contributions that drive the field forward - and we can't think of anyone more deserving. 👏👏👏

The Open Science Room has been an exciting space at the OHBM Meeting for many years, but its future is threatened. Please sign this petition to signal your support for preserving a dedicated space for the OSR at future meetings. ohbm.github.io/osr2025/peti...

Thinking about physical space, the cortical surface and brain function. In cartography, different flat projections of the globe are used for different functional purposes (e.g., navigation, measurement, radar) each projection transforms space in different ways to achieve that purpose.

Looking for automated brain extraction tools that are: - Quick and easy to install. - Without "ugly" dependencies (big toolboxes, containers, matlab, etc). - Easy to use. - Quick to run (1/2 minutes). - Not ROBEX, SynthStrip or FSL's BET (we already tested those). Bluesky, do your magic! Thanks!

Not the least bit bothered by pearl-clutching over social media filter bubbles or echo chambers. People use social media for all kinds of reasons, and "interacting with hostile dickheads" isn’t one of mine. Honestly, in today’s political climate, I don’t see much value in unmoderated debate anyway.

Last week, NeuroImage invited me to join their team as Associate Editor, providing me an opportunity to put some perspectives into writing. I declined and clarified why. Here is the exchange as I wanted to share more broadly. www.thebrainblog.org/2023/11/23/i...

Reminder:

Somebody asked me if I had plans for the fall. It took me a minute to realise she meant "Autumn" and not "The Collapse of Civilisation."
