I wish I could join your class 😂

Rosalind Franklin and the damage of gender harassment Spurred by a recent report on sexual harassment in academia, our columnist revisits a historical case and reflects on what has changed—and what hasn’t

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

In the first Cognitive Webinar of this year, we are excited to host @sophieslaats.bsky.social , a postdoctoral researcher at the Université de Genève.

When women researchers publish, media attention doesn’t always follow Men-led papers receive more media coverage than women’s, new study finds

“Women-led papers were more likely to be featured in local outlets than in national, international, or science-specialty media. They appeared more often in liberal-leaning outlets than conservative ones. And coverage of their work carried a more negative tone”

Hypothesis: the spell checker killed the variant "langauge"

TIL the relative popularity of "langauge" peaks in the mid-80s

"Langauge in the Brian" - free title for grant proposal for studying the neural basis of the Transposed Letter effect

Dr. Fernández Merino shone at her defense today! 🌟

I somehow called temporal response functions “millennial ERPs” in lab meeting and now I can’t stop thinking about that 😅🥹

Out now in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews!

When studying language in the brain, we often look for things that can be model systems for language (songbirds, artificial grammars, etc.). Here, we flip this on its head and argue that language itself is an excellent model system for cognition 🗣️🧏‍♀️🧠

Interested in doing a PhD with me and lacns.github.io? Or with any of the incredible fellows in the IMPRS School of Cognition www.maxplanckschools.org/cognition-en - apply before Dec 1st at cognition.maxplanckschools.org/en/application

Delta-Band Neural Responses to Individual Words Are Modulated by Sentence Processing To understand language, we need to recognize words and combine them into phrases and sentences. During this process, responses to the words themselves are changed. In a step toward understanding how t...

It's always a pleasure to read the research report from the @mpi-nl.bsky.social - but when your own work is mentioned, it does hit different. Thanks for the mention and, of course, the wonderful years of work! 🧠 💬 @andreaeyleen.bsky.social

Is it possible to use AI well and ethically in academia? I don't know but these amazing resources - via @dingemansemark.bsky.social - may help you make an informed decision 1/

🧠💻 We (a bunch of colleagues at @cimcyc.bsky.social) just released a programming guide for psych & cog neuro students. Instead of a tutorial, this is a starting point: a collection of reflections, examples, and recommendations.
