Happy #worlddogday! 🐢 πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”¬πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬
In this video, you will discover how dogs support us in our research at the University of Vienna and what we can learn from dogs about our own social behavior. 🧠 ‡️

My colleague Quentin Atkinson wrote this piece - How Not To Run a University. It is an insanely good read about how managerialism is destroying universities.

Make time for it. Talk about it. Share it.

I’d love to hear more ideas about this. I’ve been brainstorming for my own teaching. How to we stop teaching the brain as a domino chain (where disorders are broken dominos) but instead as a multi-level dynamical system? Starting at the earliest stages? Please chime in! A few thoughts …

27.06.2025 16:09 β€” πŸ‘ 29    πŸ” 9    πŸ’¬ 6    πŸ“Œ 0

Second, I understand there’s a movement in education to think about things like ecology and climate as big holistic dynamical systems (even in grade school). We can learn from that. Anyone w/ pointers, please chime in!

Finished reading @nicolecrust.bsky.social’s Elusive Cures. Very interesting. I wonder, how do we change the way we train our students to help implement the new Grand Plan?

Although I guess that is consistent with our own transcriptomic work ;-)

I agree that’s possible as well. Hard to talk about target or outcome, though. But I think there are probably very few genes acting on a particular neural systems? But I am very much not the expert on that
