Looking back on a fantastic few days at the #CIFARWinterSchool ☃️

Incredibly grateful for the opportunity to attend and experience the stunning Montebello, connect with interesting people from around the world across a range of disciplines, and try my hand (and fail miserably) at curling.

Super cool PhD opportunity!

Fascinating!! This sounds like an excellent project for someone 🙂

Is cultural context the crucial touch? Neurophysiological and self-reported responses to affective touch in women in South Africa and the United Kingdom Abstract. Affective touch, involving touch-sensitive C-tactile (CT) afferent nerve fibres, is integral to human development and well-being. Despite presume

Our paper on the influence of cultural context on neural (EEG) and self-reported measures of affective touch is finally out!
We report differences in how touch is evaluated across cultural contexts, and in cortical activation during touch processing 🧠👋

More inclusive science = broader participation, better data, stronger impact. 💡 (🧵 3/3)

Based on what we learned, we co-developed a practical checklist to help researchers design more inclusive studies — from early planning to results dissemination. The aim of the checklist is to make it easier for more people to take part in and benefit from research. (🧵 2/3)

Ever thought about how to make your research more inclusive? 🧠✨

We worked with members of the public and patient contributors to understand what makes it harder for people to take part in research — from accessibility and scheduling to lab environments and communication. (🧵 1/3)

Looking back on a great time in Lyon last week for #EFIC2025 - lots of interesting talks, and more cheese and bread than you'd think was possible for a 5 day trip (France 1, vegetarians 0). Looking forward to the next one!

Poster pdf can be found here: linktr.ee/dhewitt16 🙌🏻🔥

Day one of #EFIC2025 - let's go! Here presenting poster 1 of 2 on the effects of tonic #pain on behavioural responses to approaching threats as a proxy for peripersonal space representations in #VR @efic.bsky.social

Pain is more common than you think! From migraines to musculoskeletal pain, millions live with chronic pain. This infographic breaks down the numbers—raising awareness is the first step toward change. europeanpainfederation.eu/sip/access-t...
