It was a real pleasure working with @lisampmunoz.bsky.social over four days of science, laughs, new friendships, and catching up with old ones!

Hope to see you again in Boston or perhaps sooner in Cambridge!

Love that Ryan included in her introduction of Barnes a shout-out to the challenges Barnes encountered as a woman in science and how she paved the way for many after, leaving a scientific legacy throughout psychology and neuroscience

Just had a great chat with a grad student about science writing and also about career pathways for PhDs that go beyond academia. And she had some great ideas for future @cogneuronews.bsky.social programming. Who's next? πŸ˜„

Making the Brain Language Ready: A Journey of Discovery For more than four decades, CNS 2026 keynote speaker Peter Hagoort has focused on one key question: What makes the human brain language ready?

What a wonderful keynote by Peter Hagoort! For more information on Hagoort's work, read this exclusive Q&A on the CNS blog:

One of the best parts of neuroscience & psych meetings is getting to participate in some of the tasks in studies...in this case, Hitchcock demoing a task where you tap left or right on a word that best describes you
Some are like, what?!

Met up with a wonderful friend, a UBC earth science professor, in Vancouver while here for #CNS2026... and she brought the best gift πŸ‘‡. Love that my job in #scicomm covers it all from the earth sciences to cognitive neuroscience. πŸ§ͺ

Galileo’s handwritten notes found in ancient astronomy text Discovery sheds new light on how famed astronomer came to lead a scientific revolution

I love everything about this! The conviction that a major figure was not struck by a bolt of lightning but worked to understand the system he would ultimately critique and help dismantle. The scholarly sleuthing rare books β€” all of it. πŸ˜ŽπŸ€“

An intricate octopus cut from a single piece of paper

An intricate octopus cut from a single piece of paper

Japanese artist Masayo Fukuda hand-cut this life-sized octopus from one sheet of paper. Known as Kirie in Japanese (translated as β€œcut picture”), the art form involves cutting intricate forms from a single sheet of white paper and then contrasting it against a black background to reveal the design.

β€˜My scientific career is essentially over.’ A brain drain imperils Massachusetts’ biomedical future. - The Boston Globe In a first-of-its-kind survey, the Globe asked hundreds of scientists about the impact of federal funding cuts.

β€œThis is like asking, how do you think dropping an atomic bomb on New York City will affect the future of Broadway musicals? This is a generational loss of innovation, technology, and economic power.”

When Scientists Are Dinosaurs When Scientists Are Dinosaurs: At the paleontology conference, her new theory was shouted down

"This violent reaction was not the way science was supposed to be functioning" - a fascinating story about a fight between (older, male) scientists w/ a woman over dinosaur color.

β€œJennifer was also invited,” Carroll recounts. β€œBut when we asked if she would be a participant, they said β€˜she could go shopping with the other wives.’ And we were repulsed by that sexist attitude.” β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️
