I think these surgeons get paid by the core sample.

Oh no! I'm so sorry! Much love to you all x

Morning! Hope you have a great week. Your reminder that I currently have TWO positions open:
1. Senior MRI physicist
2. Clinical Imaging Research Assistant
Please share, tell your friends, send to your Mum (if your Mum's an MRI researcher? I mean, why not?) etc. etc.
See links below. ⬇️ 🧵

The only way out is through 🤷‍♀️

I'm starting OnlyNaNs where I livestream a 2.5 hour EEG analysis, only for it to end in a gigabyte of Matlab not-a-number arrays.

Very sad to hear this. Susannah and I had neighbouring offices when I joined the department at Oxford. She was very kind and as sharp as a tack. Somewhere I still have the lovely hand-made stimuli she created for a haptic experiment. A lovely colleague.

Lecturer JOB! There is a fixed-term (2 years) teaching-focussed Lecturer position open in our department! Focus is on (human!) cognitive neuroscience. I'm not part of the recruitment process, but always happy to answer any questions about Bristol and our School. www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/de...

<TMS best practices>

Hi folks,

Could you please point me to the most up-to-date consensus paper you're aware of relating to TMS safety? Number of pulses / intensities / frequencies / other parameters etc.

I want to take as wide a look at the literature as possible.

Please repost for visibility!

LECTURER jobs? In this economy?! If I didn’t already have a wonderful position, this is where I would be applying. Department seems filled to the brim with lovely people who do cool things (including, but not limited to, @aidanhorner.bsky.social and @alexandrapike.bsky.social).

That's only a hierarchy because it's drawn that way. If information is flowing up and down and across, it's not very hierarchical.

Can I do anything to help?

Sounds a bit like The Emperor's New Mind. A really good intro to quantum stuff, but a bit handwavy about what it means for the mind.

Is that, book any good? I was hoping for a new GEB:EGB, but never got around to finding out.

"IT'S IMPORTANT TO HEAR BOTH SIIIIiaaaaauauuughghhhh!

Is she saying this while in the process of having her face eaten by a leopard? That's fascinating!

And the S1 contestants dancing around singing "it's only a game show" at vote time. Simpler times!

"WHO IS SHE??" has to be one of the best TV moments in history.

I would 100% go back to an RA position if I could take the pay cut! Imagine just being able to work on one thing, and not have to go to many meetings or sort through emails or mark essays. Sounds like bliss!

It's bound to have a German name, too.

Now you got me worried about opening a bank account for my daughter, Houthi.

We have a Research Assistant position available in Rushworth Lab to help us with projects involving fMRI, TMS, and TUS. Find out more here my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

Good luck! And I don't think a kitten would sweep your floor as well as a hoover.

Ooh love the print! Looks great! x

Sounds like you need to do a pre-pre-submission inquiry inquiry.

Ooh. There have been some great heads at Bham over the years. Curious to see who's next!

It's like rain on your wedding day.

Isn't this the wrong way round? "Quite good" feels to me, as a British person, almost suspiciously flattering.

People always ask me : “Cristi, how do you manage parenting a baby while going up for tenure?”

It’s easy. The secret is *flow-based-scheduling*. Here are its three core strategies for new academic parents:

Sleep when the baby sleeps
Cry when the baby cries
Publish when the baby publishes

Ah interesting! And I'm never visiting the IoW 😬

Is it possible to work out what animal was doing the biting? Looks like just over 1 cm between teeth!
