We're a month further into the job market - how are things looking? The good news is that the market does seem to have been delayed: ~150 new listings have appeared since my last post. The bad news is that the total is still substantially lower than what it was during the covid dip.

New ad for an open rank position in Psychology at Cornell. That Human Bonding course seems very popular! May be a good fit for a relationship scientist out there. Below is a snippet of the job ad.

Finally had a chance to read this study on conceptual alignment in human communication. Using a clever repeated reference game, it provides quantitative evidence that interaction drives people to converge on a shared, generalizable conceptual space: arxiv.org/pdf/2509.05566 @rdhawkins.bsky.social

Do caregivers exaggerate vowels when talking to infants? Prior findings are inconsistent () & the mechanisms unclear. We meta-analyzed 35 studies across 10 languages to disentangle systematic cross-linguistic and methodological variation. Paper: osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧵

🧠✨How do we rebuild our memories? In our new study, we show that hippocampal ripples kickstart a coordinated expansion of cortical activity that helps reconstruct past experiences. We recorded iEEG from patients during memory retrieval... and found something really cool 👇(thread)

I am vain enough to be pleased to see when people follow me. But assuming that many of these are graduates or postdocs in neuroscience it would be good to have discussions with them. The role of graduates and postdocs is to bite the ankles of senior scientists.

The study used a simple age stereotype to show that interacting with others from a young age teaches us how to quickly overcome stereotypes. Big thanks to Saskia Koch (not on Twitter) for leading this work. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We had a blast working with @louischarron.bsky.social‬ and his team, who produced this incredible video showcasing our latest study 🎥 Stereotypes often fail to capture a person’s actual qualities. So, what helps us move beyond them in social interactions? www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjdU...
