The BLoCKS team had a brilliant time @lcicd.bsky.social last week! It was a great opportunity to find out about all of the current advancements in infant developmental science. 1/4

Thanks for a stimulating cognitive development conference @lcicd.bsky.social

Why does learning sign language benefit later spoken language acquisition? In this review we suggest potential routes for amodal language transfer. With Evelyne Mercure and Rain Bosworth

I was given the finger (3rd not 1st) for cycling on my side of the road but not in the ditch, to allow him to go past. I stopped to inform him I had priority. He stopped to say I cycle like a f*ing twat. What have I done wrong @norwichcycling.bsky.social ?

Children media is rich in fantasy, including violations of physical laws. Claire Essex @timjsmith.bsky.social @rachaelbedford.bsky.social show that a high frequency and diversity of these events may initially tax children's attention control.

We are coming to the end of British Science Week and we wanted to highlight our remarkable staff and student research from the past year! 🧪📖 Watch this space for highlights from across our research community 👀 To find out more about our research: www.uea.ac.uk/research #ThisIsUEA #UniResearch

Disappointed by the big silence coming from UK science organisations today.

Extraordinary outpour of support from scientists across France! Merci a vous!

@psychologyuea.bsky.social Standing with our scientist colleagues in the US and around the world, because science is for everyone #StandUpForScience

Yes, AI is not the solution to the mountain if (unrecognised) work we do reviewing for each other. What we need is increasing the quality of submitted work by discouraging predatory submissions and quantity over quality. Paying action editors so that they actually have the time to triage will help.

Told my 7yo that Trump is firing scientists and stopping research. He gave me a whole speech about how America will be stupid and boring and everything will be old and broken and nobody will want to live there! Wow! Children understand so much.

Still time to apply to join our team! Please circulate with any bright graduates interested in developmental cognitive neuroscience. You will use a variety of methods (including EEG) to understand communicative development in deaf and hearing infants.

Kanwisher Lab is preparing for this Friday's #Standupforscience Rally!

Extraordinary women (to still have the energy for science after having justified themselves and sang in the toilets) but how sad that they only fill one book, how sad that this book has to be written, how far we still have to go!

I currently have two fully-funded PhD opportunities in my lab - both providing a chance to work on the incredible LEAF data set that we have been collecting the last couple of years (220 children followed longitudinally from 10-30 months on measures of attention and early EF). Please share!

Any place on the very wide web where one can watch this? I've missed it unfortunately.

1973, anti-science taking over in popular views and gov. budgets. But we've re-emerged and about to re-sink in it. Intriguing inevitable (?) cycles.
