Sign the Petition Stop the suspension of undergraduate music courses at The University of Nottingham

Either way, here's a petition for the music degree if you'd like to sign
c.org/W5ZdY4cPnm

And another for the modern language degrees
c.org/M6mfmjYSZX

I don't know what I'm most sad about. That students don't apply to these courses, or that the uni doesn't feel willing to subsidise them.
Or that government/society has decided that uni courses are only about employment rather than enriching or society and cost a funding model accordingly
...

Very sad to see my uni (University of Nottingham) suspending its Music degree and all undergraduate courses in Modern Languages, on the basis that they have low uptake and the uni hasn't enough money to carry them.
Students will lose out, the uni will lose out, society loses out
...

Huge thanks to @psychopy.org and especially @hirstrj.bsky.social ! After spending thousands on other tools with little support, Dr. Hirst solved all my technical problems within days. If you are using behavioral, eyetracking, and EEG systems in your lab, I recommend checking out PsychoPy.

Looking for PsychoPy training? or help getting an experiment ready?

Did you know you can hire us to run custom training or create tasks for you?

Find out more here workshops.psychopy.org

🙏 Thank you to those who have shared testimonials of our workshops!

🙏 Thank you for your testimonials!

It is great to hear PsychoPy being used in both research and teaching around the world 🌎

You can share your testimonial here www.psychopy.org/about/testim...

Please share!

Useful for folks interested in creating behavioural tasks for #EEG as well as a bootcamp on ERP analysis! 🧠

Any questions please get in touch.

@psychopy.org

If you want to extend from surveys into experiments (dynamic, rich stimuli, reaction time measures etc) then you can combine surveys with PsychoPy/JS

As @rondalo.bsky.social mentioned this also supports our work building better open science tools 😁🙏

Full disclosure: I'm PsychoPy/Pavlovia creator

Pavlovia The place for the wide community of researchers in the behavioural sciences to run, share, and explore experiments online

To clarify on Pavlovia/PsychoPy (NB I'm biased): for research-grade surveys (with randomization, conditional Qs based on previous answers etc) Pavlovia Surveys tab will suffice (and low open pricing model pavlovia.org/docs/store/p... ). You don't need PsychoPy installation, just the browser...

Join us for a 2 day bootcamp!

📅 Dec 16th/17th
📍 Nottingham
👩‍💻 Day 1 - Create experiments in PsychoPy and optimise for EEG
🧠 Day 2 - EEG data collection and ERP analysis strategies

We've been going green: got a 2nd hand EV (an MG ZS) and love it! Also got solar panels and battery, so now I'm in that mode of constantly checking to see how much it's charging! (Mostly just because of the novelty).

Will update soon on how it's going, but good so far 😎

A woman stands at the front of a computer room full of students, she presents a slide that reads “introducing PsychoPy!”

A student works on a computer in a workshop, the screen displays an experiment being created in PsychoPy.

A group of happy smiling students look at the camera posing after their PsychoPy workshop.

Happy faces in this PsychoPy workshop at Mapua University in Manila run by @suelynnmah.bsky.social! 🇵🇭

Sue Lynn introduced students and faculty to PsychoPy for creating psychology experiments.

We love seeing PsychoPy being used around the world! 🌏

How often have you found you can't get back to an interesting post later (on this of other platforms)?!

Galton's figure plotting the height of children vs. the average height of their parents, titled "Rate of Regression in Hereditary stature". Two lines are labeled: Mid-parents and Children. Labels in the plot say: When Mid-Parents are taller than mediocraty, their children tend to be shorter than they.

Two photos of Francis Galton, left: in profile; right: full face, as if posing for mug shots.. These were related to Galtn's studies of criminality, now standard in police procedure.

📅Sep 10, 1885 Francis Galton introduced the idea of regression (toward the mean)

(In his presidential lecture to the Anthropology Section of the British Association, perhaps the most influential such in statistical history)

Is amazing and heart warming how much some members of the academic (and open source software) community will go to help others. #notAllHerosWearCapes

Blown away by the resources PsychoPy users share! 🌍 Love seeing training materials in many languages. Huge shoutout to Marcos Lima for 70+ videos in Brazilian Portuguese 🇧🇷👏 shorturl.at/oCSMI

Make *this* a psychopy feature is what I mean (must check my text before publishing)🤦‍♂️

I think we might need to make toys a @psychopy.org feature

Excited to be heading to Sheffield for my first ever #ESCoP #ESCoP2025 (slightly late but see you there at the Open Science Tools / @PsychoPy booth)

Using code for experiments and stimuli is a great visual way to learn.

I learned the majority of python from experiment design.
