Are you an early-career researcher (or someone hoping to help ECRs) working in #openscience or #metascience? The @reproducibilitea.org podcast is looking for guests for our next season of episodes! We'd love to feature ECR voices foremost – the next generation of scientists should be heard the most!
💻 #F1000 Blog Post
Associate Publisher Emma Smith talks about F1000's open peer review model and how open peer review processes can benefit authors, reviewers, and the wider research community.

Thank you! I'm stoked about it :D
The dates have been set! #OAI14 will take place online from November 10-14, 2025. Make sure to follow us to get the forthcoming info about the talks, speakers and satellite events.
You guessed it, I won't be posting or re-posting about the same topics any more. But, if you're interested in information and AI literacy, #openscience, scientific publishing, and all of that good stuff, then watch this space 💫
In this new role, I will work to help the EPFL academic community build knowledge, skills, and confidence in the messy world of contemporary science and information literacy through courses like these: www.epfl.ch/campus/libra...
🚨 Big news alert 🚨
After a decade in academic research, I’ve decided to turn the page. Thank you to everyone who was a part of the journey 💛
I’m now bringing my research and #scicom experience to my new role as Instructor at @epfllibrary.bsky.social. Excited for this new chapter! 💫
Extremely happy to share our latest preprint on the bimodal advantage in #WorkingMemory!
Across 4 experiments, we show when cued recall improves with audiovisual vs. purely visual input.

When #scicomm = learning by laughing! Last Saturday, I took part in an improv show by The Catalyst (thecatalyst.ch) - an Anglophone sci-tertainment collective based in Lausanne, CH. I gave a 5-min layperson-friendly talk on #workingmemory, which the improvisers then used as inspiration for a skit 🧠🎭
Inspired by this year's Working Memory Symposium, we wrote an article looking toward the future of WM

Announcing a side-project that I have been working on for the past few months – introducing quokka, a free-to-use, in-browser app for qualitative coding. My goal was to make an app that was fairly intuitive and flexible so that it could fit most workflows. An app demo here: youtu.be/9jJK70W0hAI?...
We have a new online collection of papers on #memory and from tomorrow they will all be open access for a month! www.tandfonline.com/journals/cph... Enjoy #philsky!
I've been thinking that cognitive research needs to better interface with journalists and the public - there's an appetite for our expertise but scientists still mostly work towards and rely on peer-reviewed articles. We can break the pipeline by reviewing preprints and signalling quality ourselves.

'When Notre-Dame reopened on 7 December, it was thanks, in part, to the efforts of 175 researchers with expertise across a range of disciplines: acoustics, art, data, history, archaeology, anthropology.' Example of why blue-skies research matters for 'real-life' problems we've not yet imagined. 1/2

The future of papers and neuro, are we almost there yet? That would great discussion to have online.

You're asked to develop a new research methods course for third-year psychology students – ten weeks of content to prepare students to make inferences about an evolving and complex world. What do you choose to include? What do you do away with from traditional courses? (And how do you respond?)
Dr. Ryan Rhodes @langofmind.bsky.social – from Rutgers University – explain the processes related to memory in an entertaining and informative way. He uses exciting visuals to underscore his approachable teaching style and make his video, well, memorable!

Welcome to the dark side (the blue side, actually)!
True. I guess it’s clear that I work on the input part of my post 😅
Yes! To exist is to constantly communicate with the environment. Input from environment to cognition via sensation & perception. Output to environment from cognition via action. So it makes sense that each one of these elements influence each other over development.
