Thanks - that chimes with my experience. Is it just a matter of $$$ or is the reason more nuanced?
Question for UK academics, particularly those in cog neuro and related fields: Are “staff scientist” positions (lab manager, lab tech, analyst) relatively uncommon? Many labs in North America seem to have them, but I don’t recall this being the case in the UK, even in well-funded labs #academicsky
It's been...a while, but I'm happy to say that we published this work in Neurobiology of Aging!
You can check out the paper here 👇🏻

And yes, I am aware that the first photo makes it look like my poster has legs…
Had a blast at #CNS2024!
Here’s the obligatory photos of me presenting some of our (@RajahLab) recent findings
Check out the lineup for #TAMeG2024!
✅ 26 talks/data blitzes
✅ @tyrellturing.bsky.social keynote

If I recall correctly, we went through one round of review, which was relatively light but appropriate for the type of paper. Also, given that it was reviewed, I guess Frontiers had slightly higher standards in this case? Bit unfair to JNeurosci, as the format is designed to help ECRs, but still...
During my PhD, I co-authored a commentary in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. We originally submitted to JNeurosci as a Journal Club article, a format that is editor-assessed but not technically peer reviewed. After rejection, we re-worked it and submitted to Frontiers, where it *was* reviewed
I want to know everyone's experiences publishing in:
* MDPI journals
* Hindawi journals
* Frontiers journals
Not stories about what you heard, please, but your literal experience. what happened to you.
Editors of said journals particularly welcome.
RT this. A lot.
The Learning, Understanding, Memory, & Neurodevelopment (LUMeN) Lab at Emory is seeking our first postdoc! ✨ Learn more about the position and apply here: faculty-emory.icims.com/jobs/123119/...
I'll be advertising a 2-year postdoc in a few weeks supported by an ESRC grant. An interesting project looking at the role of narratives in the learning and retention of educational material. Feel free to get in touch via email if you are interested!
#neuroskyence #cognition #psychscisky
Congrats 🎉 Really interesting stuff!
Deadline extended to December 10th @ 11:59 Pacific!
In addition to being a great opportunity to broadcast your work, selected speakers will receive a $200 CAD honorarium.
Submit, submit, submit! #neuroskyence #Neuroimaging
Happy #SubfieldWednesday HSGers,
Our questionnaire relating to the hippocampal tail segmentation protocol is live!
Your feedback will help to revise and improve a draft protocol for defining hippocampal tail boundaries.
Responses are requested by Monday January 8, 2024. 🍤
The hippocampus is not usually thought of as a visual brain region. But it shows a systematic progression of pRF size from anterior to posterior, which matches a similar gradient in scene versus face preference. New paper by Charlotte Leferink now out in Cerebral Cortex.

#SfN2023 hasn’t even officially started and the posts are already triggering some serious FOMO
Are you a neuroscience postdoc in 🇨🇦 (or a 🇨🇦🧠 postdoc abroad)? If so, why not apply to give a virtual talk as part of the Canadian Neuroscience Seminars - Postdoctoral Series (CNS-PDS)?! Application deadline is Dec 3, 2023 @ 11:59pm PT

Halloween horrors at the Douglas CIC 👻 #AcademicSky
Hello CNS Members! Please consider voting for our symposium on "Translating cognitive neuroscience into the preclinical realm of Alzheimer's disease". Organized by Hwamee Oh and presented by me, Heidi Jacobs, @mnrajah.bsky.social and Nathan Spreng! Please RT. #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence #compneurosky
We are looking for an Associate Professor working on ageing.
Based at Reading Psychology, with potential affiliation to CINN and access to excellent neuroimaging and human physiology faclities.
FMRIB’s FSL course, which covers fMRI, is available online: open.win.ox.ac.uk/pages/fslcou...
Neurobiology of Aging is requesting submissions for a special issue on "Brain Connectivity in Aging". Current deadline is November 30th, 2023, but this is likely to be extended. Please help spread the word! 😄 www.sciencedirect.com/journal/neur...
