It's Transgender Day of Visibility, and I have mixed emotions. So I wrote something about it 😊

(this is the first in a series; the next one is in a few weeks and is about disinformation campaigns)

My mixed emotions on Transgender Day of Visibility
Around the world, trans people are under attack. So, while Transgender Day of Visibility is a celebration, we need to talk about the dread as well, says a University of Melbourne expert.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

*Removes quotation marks*

Man I love coding 🫠

Everyone in Canberra: *is on holiday because it's a public holiday*
Me: *in the lab because I forgot it was a public holiday today and I scheduled a participant*

Tldr: Bless this participant for agreeing to come in on a public holiday 🙏🏼

Rosalind Franklin was the first to theorise the physical structure of DNA and Watson and Crick did some fancy interpretation of base pairing.
#OnThisDay 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson discover the chemical structure of the DNA molecule (double-helix polymer) using X-ray diffraction studies developed by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins.

I struggle enough as it is calculating dates, but it's almost the end of February and I'm still forgetting that it's already 2025 🤦🏻

Things that didn't make the news that will likely change our lives for the better

The news is not an accurate reflection of the world.

Good news doesn't get reported as much.

Here are the wonderful things researchers have achieved recently.

FYI #TeamSport is surprisingly hard to define

It was a blast to talk #attention and #TeamSport at #ACNS2024 🏀 So cool to connect with different researchers & expand my perspectives on the #brain & #cognition 🧠
Thank you to @acnsau.bsky.social & UON for hosting a brilliant conference!

I had a fantastic time sharing the findings of my rTMS study at #ACNS

It was great to have so many people interested in my research, and to also learn about what others are doing in this space.

Looking forward to @ylmariano.bsky.social presenting their fast talk tomorrow !

Even though it's technically day 2 of the #ACNS2024 it was a great first day for me full of fascinating talks about music, processing, & chatting with fellow PhD students & researchers alike! 🧠

Also massive kudos to @tinotoufexis.bsky.social for smashing his poster pres & repping #ActiveBrainUC! 🙌🏼
