Starting a PhD? You probably feel you know nothing.
That's OK. Everyone else feels the same.
Ask lots of questions.

Excited to share a new article from @icevislab.bsky.social! In a sample of over 60 people, we found distinct neural differences underlying object and face recognition in dyslexia. These findings highlight crucial domain-general visual processes that may contribute to word reading challenges.
Interesting to read this as a prosopagnosia researcher! Also your uncanny valley too. We have a study on that at the minute tooπ

This is disgusting.
If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think theyβll treat you?
