Science persists

Have had a great speaking trip across Asia, giving talks in Singapore, Bangkok, and now wrapping up in Hong Kong.

eLife appoints Timothy Behrens as Editor-in-Chief Behrens will lead eLife’s efforts to improve research communication for all.

🎉 eLife is pleased to announce Timothy Behrens (@behrenstimb.bsky.social) as our new Editor-in-Chief!

A distinguished neuroscientist and long-time supporter, Tim will lead our efforts in transforming research communication for all.

Everyone needs at least one colleague to routinely remind them that sometimes less is more.

Do fewer things better.

You don't need to solve every interesting problem or answer every interesting question you encounter.

The RLDM workshop list is now up! Have a look: rldm.org/call-for-wor...

More workshop details coming soon :)

There were so many wonderful submissions---this was really tough for the committee. Huge thanks to all involved, and looking forward to seeing folks in Dublin

So far, this is spot on

Want to get editing experience? If you have a PhD & are a member of a group that’s historically underrepresented in editorial roles, apply for a 1 yr editorial fellowship at one of APS’s journals (including Psych Science)! Deadline 7 Feb.

Eleanor Maguire, who died 4 January at age 54, pioneered the famous London taxi-driver study and naturalistic approaches for studying spatial and episodic memory in people.

Is Alzheimer’s prevention next? We didn’t have GLP-1 at the top of the list. If you told me that the venomous saliva of a Gila monster was going to be the answer, I would have probably said you were nuts. Love science! 🦎🧠

Hot take for 2025: I don’t know what to do with social media.

Less than 30 years from Gila Monster saliva to treatment for diabetes, weight loss, compulsive behavior and, now, sleep apnea. SCIENCE ROCKS!

Excited to close out the year at NIA with a spotlight on our PREPARE Challenge for early prediction of dementia! 🧠

✔️ Key meetings
✔️ New funding opportunities
✔️ Paper revisions
❓ Government shutdown
❤️ Holiday cuddles with this crew

⭐️ Bring on 2025! ⭐️

Why Gen Z Is Surprisingly Susceptible to Financial Scams Gen Z is more than three times as likely to fall for online scams compared to boomers. Experts weigh in on why

The narrative on old people being more likely to be fraud victims was tough to evaluate given how overtargeted they were for many years. Now seems tech is making it easier to target the young & ppl are now saying young adults are more susceptible. Anyone can be a victim. This is an all ages problem

Scientists - consider writing up your research for Frontiers for Young Minds (if you are brave enough to face kid reviewers 😉).

Here's how:

Like ‘old Twitter’: The scientific community finds a new home on Bluesky After recent changes to Elon Musk’s X, a gradual migration turns into a stampede

This is a good analysis explaining why the scientic migration to bluesky worked when it failed to take hold with mastadon, threads, or linkedin.

The key is network effects: Moving an entire community is hard and people are reluctant to leaveit www.science.org/content/arti...

we are SO VERY excited to have Bradley joining us at neuromatch!

please help us welcome him and stay tuned for exciting things to come!

Get your abstract submissions ready for RLDM 2025, at Trinity College in Dublin (abstracts due 1/15). Tutorial submissions close on 12/20. RLDM is a terrific interdisciplinary conference at the intersection of computational theory (AI, ML, robotics), cognitive science, psychology, and neuroscience.

We’re gathering in shared, trusted spaces (just had a Retreat last week!), diving into exciting new scientific areas (we love science, right?!), and leaning into the concept of psychological safety.

Oh, I absolutely let my clinical training guide my research. I still maintain my license, but only do occasional clinical work outside the research context now. I am obsessed with brain-behavior measurement which is driven by my frustrations with what I saw in clinical neuropsychology practice.

Yeah, it’s pretty brutal. That was also the case when I applied back in 2002. For me, it was extra funny because I did my first research rotation year 1 and immediately went the neuroscience research route. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Clinical Psych PhD admissions is wild!

I’m not a clinical sort, but a subset of my department’s PhD students are. We received 811 applications this year for ~8 positions. Of those, each of our non-clinical faculty: 10s of apps; each of our clinical faculty: 100s (for 1 slot). Genuinely curious:..

If I didn’t get into a clinical psych PhD program, I was going to a Master’s program. I know other have gone to PsyD or social work programs. Circa 2010, more of the RAs I worked with started going the NP route, too. And then industry options for behavioral health became a thing.
