Since it's somehow October 9th already (how?? 😵‍💫), wee reminder that abstract submission is OPEN for Neuroscience Next in Manchester on February 26th!!

Head on to the link to submit your abstract by October 22nd - and remember this hybrid hub meeting has no registration fees!

Gearing up for paper autumn with my People Make Research mug!! Was super late to pick it up, but buzzing to have this reminder that I made a positive impact that inspired someone to nominate me for the collaboration category! 🥹 bonus points are it matches with my current fave focus playlist 👽

#DataChallengeII 🧠

my first ever research study is public! In a study designed with the amazing @drhelenapaterson.bsky.social, I replicated the mere exposure effect with human sentences reading voices, uncovering an unexpected state of "familiarly unfamiliar" voices processed differently to familiar and unknown voices

Absolutely love this submission for the Munro Tidy Tuesday!

Took multiple weeks to recover from Canada, and was ready just in time for my first externally invited talk with @alzheimersresearchuk.org Scotland centre!! Learned so much over the conference and am so grateful for the opportunity to share my work and vision with brilliant researchers in Scotland!!

If you've ever wondered what 1990s #cycling can teach us, in 2025, about incorporating #AI into #HigherEducation, this article on LinkedIn from @drhelenapaterson.bsky.social & myself is the very one for you! All comments welcome!

“I Hadn't Thought About That”: Creators of Human-like AI Weigh in on Ethics & Neurodivergence | Proceedings of the 2025 ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency

"The creators of human-like AI who participated in our study displayed a clear preference for implementing neurotypical standards of communication in their work and often did not consider how this interpretation of humanness may impact their end-users"

📢 Are you a dementia researcher in the UK? Or one of the talented teams that took part in the #BioHermes001 Data Challenge? @kalliverse.bsky.social has some exciting news to share with you — all the way from the AAIC 2025 in Toronto!

More updates coming soon. 🧠

#AAIC2025 #BioHermes002

Totally jet lagged, and returned from a windy run feeling slightly defeated... so I added the #AAIC25 badge to my collection by my messy desk as a visual reminder for whenever I feel like I haven't achieved anything (ie nearly every day) - 10/10 recommend!!

“We used a Likert scale to measure…” — No, you didn’t! Understanding Likert, Likert-type, and Ordinal questions

A short weekend post on a pet peeve of mine: likert questions

Love this!! I remember chatting with my classmates how justified the design choices were. Totally agree, it just has potential to help in so many settings - chers to seeing non-hypothetical applications in more populations and settings 🥂

Omg i had designed a hypothetical study with paro with my classmates in undergrad!! What was it like to hold??

If you thought I was done telling you about #AAIC25... sorry 🫣

UK-based researchers - we have an announcement for you!! ⬇️

What a lovely message to receive, thank you!! It feels big to be seen when till recently I couldnt even see myself as a scientist!! Also thanks for what you do to involve researchers!! And for tagging soapbox, I didnt even know about it and im glad I can now connect with it!

someone from the audience at my #AAIC25 talk today said hi during security check at the airport - it was the 4th time someone today told me they felt empowered by my sharing my experience as an RA without a PhD. Unexpected outcome of the talk but I'll keep being vocal since we need this conversation

Feeling so lucky for friend Angelina Kancheva 📸 whom I'm trying to convince to join here and who is one of the brightest people I know!!! There's so many amazing friends I've made through research (yes waiting for them to join here) and im so glad I could attend #AAIC25 and connect with them again!!

On #AAIC25 day 5, I shared with the amazing audience what we achieved with the first round of the @brainhealtharc.bsky.social Scottish Data Challenge. Brilliant questions gave me a chance to emphasise the need to reuse routine datasets and support cross-discipline collaboration for 2ndary analysis!!

Today at #AAIC25 - #DPUK ’s Prof Sarah Bauermeister will be speaking about harmonisation of datasets and federation at a session with @AD Data Initiative: ‘Harnessing The Power Of Collaborative Data Sharing And Research: Progress And Existing Barriers’ Room 107 10-11.30 #ADRD

On #AAIC25 day 4, I finally managed to get up early for a run! So glad I did, because I today I am feeling neeervous about speaking at the data sharing featured research session tomorrow at 1000🕙 in room 107📍join us to hear about the @brainhealtharc.bsky.social's first Scottish Data Challenge!!

What a privilege to be able to connect with those I look up to... I remember returning from St Andrews a month ago wondering if I'd ever have a place in dementia research, and every conversation today showed me I couldn't imagine it not because I couldn't have it, but because I'd have to create it.

#AAIC25 day 3 gone in a flash!! I gave myself the morning off to sleep in and see the CN tower before conference stuff. Feeling empowered by @stirlandia.bsky.social and @atlanticfellows.bsky.social, I let my brain be creative for the afternoon, thinking about what I want my metascience lab to do!!

Proud of our session at #AAIC25 yesterday, "Molecular Basis of Cognitive Resilience". 💜

We really are trying to bring the field together, and I think we did a great job! 👏🏻

Thank you to the audience for making the Q&A so stimulating. 🤩

If you missed it, the recording is available online.

It's great to see Brains for Dementia Research at #AAIC25. Like Dementias Platform UK, they are providing some of the really valuable tools for research in the UK and beyond. Call and say hello.
