Just finished by my very first lecture at @birkbeckpsychology.bsky.social. I was very impressed by the students at Birkbeck, particularly their initiative and motivation. 💝 Many thanks to my colleague Raffa for helping us run the lecture smoothly. 👊

Lovely to be back in Oxford talking about “A Trick of the Mind” !

Thanks to @somervillecollege.bsky.social for hosting me, and for the lively and (predictably) thoughtful questions - about drugs, psychics, child development, neurodiversity, mystics, madness and more!
