Congratulations #ClassOf2025 @cardiffunilib.bsky.social

Always remember, #YouGotThis @brodiescoffee.bsky.social

You've got WiFi for that?! Fair play!

Thanks to everyone who attended yesterday, especially our speakers and panelists @theblochian.bsky.social, @emmayhnell.bsky.social, @claunader.bsky.social and @drkatel.bsky.social (and all those who aren't on Bluesky yet!)

I was at this event as part of the final panel on communication of research at a wider level (outreach etc) with @emmayhnell.bsky.social and Clau Nader and expertly chaired by Andrew Barker 😀

In 2023 it was decided that after 12+(?) years of Cheltenham science festival I’d take a year off in 2025.

Anyway, I failed. And ended up on stage anyway. 😅
Lovely to have a fleeting visit to my #SciComm home. Next year already being plotted!
(Thanks to @emmayhnell.bsky.social for 📷

You are most welcome, thank you for the invite 🙏🏻

Fabulous talk by the lovely @emmayhnell.bsky.social hwre at @edinunineuro.bsky.social talking about teaching and engaging students with lots of fun tidbits and ideas to consider. Think about your strengths, different modes or medias and maybe make it personal!

It’s EN Afternoon🤩: PhD data blitz; @emmayhnell.bsky.social shares ideas on teaching & engagement. Highlights of our range of teaching programmes - how to get involved! Keynote: Andy Stansfield @sidb-edinburgh.bsky.social on behaviour and cognition in genetic neurodevelopmental conditions.

An honour to be invited by HRH King Charles to attend a Garden party at Buckingham Palace to celebrate and recognise those working in education and skills, it was an incredible day. 🙏🏻

What a #BNA2025 it was.

From plenaries to podcasts, keynotes to cathedrals, it was brilliant.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed and made it such a brilliant success 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A special shoutout to @tspiresjones.bsky.social, Kate Baker and @emmayhnell.bsky.social, for their engaging taster sessions, which were very well received by #BNA2025 attendees.

Join us in room 11B now for a special BNA session.

I'll be talking about taking your first steps in Neuroscience teaching.

Yay!!

Stop making beautiful PowerPoints! On being more efficient in teaching preparation

If you ask most university educators what the most time consuming aspect of their job is, you will probably get the answer of ‘teaching prep’. I’ve certainly worked into the small hours many a time trying to perfect…

Life Sciences researchers partner with L.A. communities to identify neuroscience research that can address real-life needs - Life Sciences Photo: UCLA-CDU seed grant collaborators with community partners at Normandie Church of Christ. Pictured left to right: Dr. Stanley Talbert,

The UCLA-CDU Dana Center for Neuroscience and Society has been paving the way for a new kind of scientific partnership with the public. Read about its recent collaborations in LA to address real-world challenges.

It's going to be EPIC 🥰

Thank you and great to meet you 😊

Academics are nervous about media relations - being misinterpreted or misquoted says @emmayhnell.bsky.social at #uksg2025 but “we need to inspire the next generation” and get better at measuring the wider impact of research and communication

Really good point from @emmayhnell.bsky.social about better training needed for academics to communicate their research well - and more motivation / reward needed for reaching broader audiences #uksg2025

@emmayhnell.bsky.social talking about her research in Huntington’s disease and patients not able to understand the literature on their condition - science needs to be more understandable (this is why we founded @growkudos.bsky.social - science needs stories!) #uksg2025

I'll let you all into a little secret, I struggle with 9am lectures too.

But I have a fun presentation on mammalian brains, so fab case studies and coffee!!

Let's do this 💜💪🏻🙏🏻

I do hope the #GenderPayGapBot is on Blue Sky for #InternationalWomensDay.

You do your thing ☺️
