The Brain Stimulation session at #CBUMethodsDay is in full swing, with @mlueckel.bsky.social's talk "Precision mapping and zapping of the brain: Promises and open questions", chaired by Elizabeth Michael @mrccbu.bsky.social.

We're kicking off #CBUMethodsDay with Clara Pecci Terroba's talk "Graph neural networks for neuroimaging" @mrccbu.bsky.social. The MRI/fMRI session is chaired by Dace Apsvalka @dcdace.bsky.social and Marta Correia.

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...

Great to be out in Trumpington today with @cambridgelds.bsky.social supporting Councillor @olafhauk.bsky.social in his re-election.

I greatly enjoyed helping out Cambridgeshire's fantastic three Lib Dem MPs who met the CEO of Cambridge Ahead today, discussing the many challenges our region faces. @charlotte-cane-mp.bsky.social @pippaheylings.bsky.social @iansollom.bsky.social @cambridgeahead.bsky.social @libdems.org.uk

It was hard to say goodbye after two intense and exciting weeks at COGNESTIC 2025. Thank you to all our attendees for making it such a fantastic event. From fMRI to football, EEG/MEG to electric golf, we enjoyed every moment of science, ideas, networking, and fun — even the sun joined in.

#COGNESTIC's last afternoon talk is given by Kate Baker on "Applying neuroimaging to understand rare genomic disorders". @mrccbu.bsky.social

Over to Dace Apšvalka @dcdace.bsky.social to teach about #fMRI analysis at COGNESTIC. @mrccbu.bsky.social

Here we go again - a room full of attendees from all over the world at #COGNESTIC 2025, excited to learn about #neuroimaging analysis. Kshipra Gurunandan starts it off with a Primer to #Python. @mrccbu.bsky.social

Imagine Cambridge without punting... But it would be a disaster for the whole ecosystem around the Cam.

The latest Labour scandals - also available in Trumpington. With our fantastic parliamentary candidate @cheneypayne.bsky.social. @cambridgelds.bsky.social

We need a plan to save the River Cam! Please sign our petition! www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/campaigns/sa... The Baits Bite and Jesus Green locks on the River Cam are in a critical condition,

Cambridge must learn from the past: We need more housing, but new developments need infrastructure and amenities - from day one! www.facebook.com/share/v/1Ch4...

"Cambridge is fortunate to have a recycling facility right on its doorstep in Waterbeach. it’s astounding that the environmental impact of transporting waste such a long distance wasn’t even factored into the decision-making process." - Cllr Olaf Hauk www.cambridgelibdems.org.uk/news/article...

A pity this move by Lib Dem Cllr Olaf Hauk narrowly failed last week. Time to think again with carbon impact data in play @cambridgelds.bsky.social Calls to delay recycling contract that will see Cambridgeshire waste sent to Northern Ireland

Monday morning in Cambridge.

Great talks and audience at today's Speech Decoding Workshop @mrccbu.bsky.social! Just learned about Mutual Information methods from @hyojinpark.bsky.social.

Well done everyone. The pain in our legs was worth it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c7...

Huge congratulations to David Levien, who has been elected as Trumpington's new Councillor on Cambridgshire County Council. elections.cmis.uk.com/election/ele...

The Lib Dems have gained overall control of #Cambridgeshire County Council - previously run by a coalition of Lib Dems, Labour and Independents Live blog here: www.cambridgeindependent.co.uk/news/electio...

So across Cambridge, the score for councillors elected (12 County and 2 City) is: Lib Dem 7, Labour 4, Green 3, Conservative 0, Reform 0. Well done to all!

Right across the country, people are turning to the Liberal Democrats to be their local champions because they know we work hard for our communities. Millions of people want a strong anti-Trump, anti-Farage party that works everyday for their communities.

A big thank you to Cambridgeshire County Council for resurfacing this path by Jesus Green 👏 It's popular with people walking and cycling and previously was cracked with a steep camber that was of particular concern to users of tricycles. It makes such a difference having a smooth and even path!

Lib Dems are the tactical vote for Mayor.

Why not? #GiveBlood #NHS

New preprint ✨ w/ @olafhauk.bsky.social and Matt Lambon Ralph @mrccbu.bsky.social @cambridgeuni.bsky.social @gatescambridge.bsky.social The anterior temporal lobe (ATL) seems crucial for both semantic memory and semantic composition. How to make sense of this neuroanatomical alignment? 🧠 🧵

This week on BBC Politics East I spoke up for #SouthCambs constituents, small businesses and those with disability, arguing for a fairer deal on taxes and support, and for the government and developers to provide the infrastructure our region needs - including water and sewage.

"Liberal Democrats' role in British politics has never been more essential. Our precious liberal values are the only antidote to the growth of destructive nationalism." @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

It is exciting and inspiring to meet two celebrities at Lib Dem Spring Conference - Sir Vince Cable and @RtHonJen.bsky.social. And hearing about the fantastic hard work our 72 MPs are doing for our country. @libdems.org.uk

South Cambs is facing a water supply crisis. Proposed Fens reservoir will provide water for already ambitious house building plans in new Local Plan – but not additional housing proposed by Chancellor. Plans must be urgently accelerated so demand can be met much earlier than 2038.

Kemi Badenoch has recklessly said Net Zero by 2050 “impossible”—and by already admitting defeat, it will be. Scrapping climate targets will set the UK back, hike bills & boost Putin’s fossil fuel profits. We need clean energy, not reckless policies that leave Britain worse off. #NetZero 🌍

Cambridge Labour set a dangerous precedent at recent Full Council meetings - abusing their majority to shut down debate on motions, for the only reason that they didn't like them. Those are the methods of Trump and Musk. Cambridge deserves better. @cambridgelds.bsky.social #DemocracyMatters

Too bad Cambridge Labour shut down the debate on this one. Arrogant and complacent.

"There seems to be no point at all voting Labour here if you have not got the guts to stand up to your national colleagues and stop this erosion of our hard fought local plan and the handover of control to developers." Cllr Katie Porrer on her motion at Cambridge Council. @cambridgelds.bsky.social

@cllrtimbick.bsky.social of @cambridgelds.bsky.social making the argument for a unitary authority that works for Cambridge - a council where the city's unique issues can be a focus for action. #winninghere

A flying start to Cllr @LornaDupre.bsky.social's campaign to become the best Mayor our Combined Authority has ever had - and deserves! vm.tiktok.com/ZNdd6yxbH/

Two week to go! We have a great line up of speakers, hands-on activities and tours for you to enjoy at the MRC CBU on Wednesday 19 March from 6pm. All welcome! Full details: www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/events/scien...

Interesting to see on #BBCQT how The Green Party and Reform UK are squabbling with each other. Are they two sides of the same coin?

Proud to be part of this team!

Here you see three Lib Dems filling a hole, at the tree planting ceremony at Trumpington Pavilion. Note: They are not the ones wearing orange this time.

We had an amazing day under the Trumpington sun supporting our fantastic David Levien! David has lived in Trumpington with his family for decades and used to be our City Councillor. Clearly the right choice for Trumpington! Get in touch with us if you want to support him, too.

"The cost of living crisis is hitting so many of our constituents." "Isn't it time to stop making people pay to bail out Thames Water and instead put this firm into special measures and put them out of their misery?" @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

I put some introductory #EEG / #MEG videos together, based on our introduction to #neuroimaging at the @mrccbu.bsky.social : youtube.com/playlist?lis.... They should cover the most common aspects of EEG/MEG analysis, including pre-processing, source estimation and functional connectivity.

An meine lieben deutsche Freunde: Sind Eure Briefwahlunterlagen schon angekommen? Meine noch nicht. Wird langsam mal Zeit.

Clearly divided opinions about the weather, but everybody was happy to knock on doors in Queen Edith's to support our fantastic Cllr Karen Young @karenlibdem.bsky.social!

"Elon Musk is powerful, dangerous and an incredible bore - we’re going to have to hold him and the other tech bros to account because Donald Trump certainly won’t." @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Check out our new megapoll with @yougov.co.uk on the front page of today’s Observer! Full story: theguardian.com/politics/2025/jan/25/move-closer-to-europe-not-trump-voters-tell-starmer-in-major-uk-poll

The new year has now properly started with @moatazassem.bsky.social teaching #Neuroanatomy for Cognitive Neuroscients in the @mrccbu.bsky.social's Introduction to #Neuroimaging course.

"Forming a Customs Union with the EU is the biggest thing we can do to turbocharge our economy long-term." "But an agreement to work towards one would unlock big economic benefits for the UK now and start tearing down those damaging Conservative trade barriers this year." @eddavey.libdems.org.uk
