I guess I was thinking somewhere like
Welcome’s open research but that only works if it’s welcome funded… (hope all is well, it’s been ages!)

If you have the bandwidth no harm in getting it out somewhere open access as explicit methods paper

Took the 9yo for an amazing bat walk this evening with saveleatherlane-wp.org.uk . Saw or heard at least 4 different species and now wondering if it’s too late for the lab to switch to echolocation 🤔 if you’re in or near the #chilterns you should go too! 🦇 👂

as an experiment in academic internet stuff I made a 'new-auditory' list for folks interested in audition, hearing, speech, music etc

anybody can join at groups.google.com/g/new-audito...

the 30-year-old AUDITORY list is v cool but has many drawbacks, not least that it runs on 30-yr-old tech

Skills needed for a systems #neuroscience PI: carpentry, micro-soldering, surgery, coding, analysis, writing, people management... and yoga moves -- to get into a testing arena, and then fix stuff while balancing on the only non 'acoustically transparent' (i.e. fixed) part of the floor 🤷‍♀️ #neverbored

Had a wonderful day of science yesterday at the @champalimaudr.bsky.social giving a talk and being part of a thesis Jury. Big congrats to Mafalda and the Renart Lab! #🧠 #neuroscience

OK here it is, the moment you have all been waiting for! Our advert for 5 posts here at Glasgow: Cognitive neuroscience/psychology. Closing date May 12 - please spread the word

Checked one off the trail-running bucket list yesterday - Ashridge boundary run - 17+ miles of stunning(ly hilly) "fun" #chilterns #trailrunning #ridgeway

Sewing machine and black fabric

Using my gran’s ancient (vintage?) sewing machine to hem a new curtain for our speaker grid setup. Love the contrast between state of the art behaviour/tracking/neuropixels and my dodgy sewing skills — and so excited for the data beginning to emerge 🤓 🧠 #neuroscience

This is great news, but the weakest link in our circle is the primary age sibling who we cannot even pay to vaccinate…

Abstract submission for ICAC 2025 is still open!
We are looking forward to see you in Maastricht in September.

Congratulations @sciwithrach.bsky.social -- what a great addition you will be!

British Science Association Council welcomes two new trustees The British Science Association has announced that two new trustees, Professor Turi King and Dr Rachel Williams, have joined Council – the governing board of trustees for the organisation.

This #BSW25 we're excited to announce two new trustees have joined BSA Council!

Welcome Dr Rachel Williams @sciwithrach.bsky.social & Professor Turi King @turiking.bsky.social, brilliant scientists committed to public communication and engagement:

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness

Lise Meitner Excellence Program Since 2018, up to ten further Lise Meitner Groups will be advertised to recruit and promote exceptionally qualified female scientists as part of the new Lise Meitner Excellence Program.

I keep reading such things and want to mention applications are open in the German Lise Meitner program for excellent female scientists, who typically already have leadership experience. It is the breeding ground for future MPI directors. Maybe you can point some folks to it that may match.

Beautiful work - congratulations!

How to communicate the value of curiosity-driven research The burden of proof is on us, as researchers, to explain why what we do is valuable to society.

"We should communicate our passion & curiosity, connecting with those who share our wonder about the world, but must also showcase the practical significance of basic research, demonstrating how seemingly arcane investigations yield transformative applications." Great piece by @tonyzador.bsky.social
