Are you a psychologist and still not sure why learning to code might be useful? 🧠✨ (Or maybe you know students who feel that way?) Then this new open-access resource could interest you! Huge thanks to @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social (and my amazing teammates) for driving this awesome initiative! 🙌

Programming in psychological science A practical introduction

🧠💻 We (a bunch of colleagues at @cimcyc.bsky.social) just released a programming guide for psych & cog neuro students. Instead of a tutorial, this is a starting point: a collection of reflections, examples, and recommendations.

Los investigadores se revuelven en la Universidad de Granada: “Está en juego la excelencia” La universidad admite que solo fijarán laboralmente a aquellos investigadores que integren departamentos con necesidades docentes, aunque sean muchos más los que sus ayudas a la investigación lleven aparejada la pretendida estabilización

"En el fondo se enfrentan dos visiones de universidad: una más tradicional, centrada en controlar la contratación basándose en la docencia, y otra que apuesta por reforzar también la investigación"

🧠🚴‍♂️ Are we just as good at making decisions when doing intense exercise?

A study by the Cognitive and Affective Dynamics Lab CIMCYC, and the Cambridge Consciousness and Cognition Lab @cambridgeup.bsky.social, analyzed how the brain behaves while cyclists perform tasks at different effort levels.
