** Recruiting a postdoc ** We are looking for a postdoc to work on emotion, mental health, and interoception, based in London at @ucl.ac.uk in my lab (Clinical and Affective Neuroscience). Part of a large Wellcome Grant (co-led with the brilliant @camillanord.bsky.social)

The Passing of Dr. Paul Ekman Dr. Paul Ekman, pioneer of emotion science and creator of FACS, has passed away at 91. Read his memorial and share reflections on his life and legacy.

A full obituary for Dr. Ekman will appear in the December issue of Affective Science, and we'll keep the community informed of opportunities to honor Dr. Ekman's legacy.

A true legend has left us. Paul Ekman’s impact on #affectivescience cannot be overstated. I was so lucky to have met him several times and he was always so supportive, even when I flunked my talk as a first year PhD student. #restinpeace

And I was quite pleased with 3/6

Have you been swooped by them yet?

And with @ava-momeni.bsky.social whom I found on Bluesky just now!

I’m pleased with our findings reported here showing that brain networks involved in “Multiple Demand” and “Re-evaluation” support reappraisal. Let us know your thoughts!

Awesome!!

Great stuff! I’ll look forward to reading it

Hackjin!

For years, I used the Cornelius’ Science of Emotion textbook to teach emotion; liked the clustering of empirical and theoretical work into the four traditions he had identified

I need a #mathematician to help with a project. Ideally UK-based.

I've emailed a few folks in my uni, but none replied...

Anyone interested?

My need is nonlinear modelling of brain and muscle signals, optimisation, decomposition.

Anyone?
