Had a blast presenting “Body Horror and the Brain” with Neurohumanities Network + Harvard Med. I discussed the mind body problem using David Cronenberg’s work and historical cases which combined neuroscience and cinema. Thanks for having me! Here’s the video if you missed: youtu.be/K9SOa6mo79Q

Just got news that we were awarded the Neurotechnology for Safe AI Grant by the Foresight Institute! This will give me enough time to finish my post doc project! 5 months after getting my main funding frozen, this is a major relief. Now I can focus on doing good science!

Had a blast at the Doctor Who panel at @comicconmuseum.bsky.social 🛸 I joined biotech professors to discuss the science behind our favorites robots and cyborgs: daleks, cybermen, K9, and the TARDIS! I also ranted about how Dalek tentacles may improve information transfer in UX design.🐙1/2
