Postdoc affordability index for ERC starting grants (based on Eurozone inflation)

While in 2014, the fixed 1.5 mil EUR budget amounted to 9.84 theoretical 3-postdoc positions, in 2024 we are at 6.67, that's 32.3% loss in purchasing power.

I will just leave it here.

🚨 I am over the moon 🌓 to announce that I am joining University College Dublin @ucddublin.bsky.social as an Assistant Professor this fall to start the Uncertain Mind (UMI) lab 💫

I am looking for PhD/Postdoc candidates to join (more below 👇 ). Please RT as the deadline is pretty soon 🙏

Finally, I also checked whether the LLMs can actually spot the injections. Gemini did spot it in 97% of cases, while ChatGPT only did in ~17%.

Essentially no LLM spotted the prompt when it was not directly instructed to do so.

... but, asking an LLM to check for prompts also made it much less likely to recommend the paper for publication. [Some healthy skepticism there?]

This was similar when asked about scientific quality and presence of any major flaws.

I scraped unpublished manuscripts from bioarxiv and injected half of them with a hidden prompt.

I then asked three LLMs to review the paper - in half cases I told the LLM to check for prompt injections.

📈 Prompt injections lead to more recommendations
📉 Prompt checks eliminated this effect

I often want to sketch something, but most sites want one to register, no time, just Draw Draw Draw!

They say Bielefeld is the hidden town... In fact, it is Würzburg which is the hidden gem of Germany. Look. #PUG2025

Very excited about the line up for our workshop on the use of gamification in cognitive computational neuroscience.

Join us on Thursday June 12th in Dublin!

🚨💫🤖 RLDM Workshop announcement:

"Game on: Leveraging Gamification in Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience"

Contributed talks submissions now OPEN: shorturl.at/0p0Jd

Looking forward to seeing you in Dublin!
w/ @luiantaverra.bsky.social & @ingrdmrtn.bsky.social

🚨 We are hiring in Berlin 💫

Me, @zoengo.bsky.social @buchberger.bsky.social and the team are looking a motivated research assistant to contribute to our ongoing study on inference and generalization in 8-14 year olds.

See attached advert for details. Feel free to reach out to me directly.

I am now officially part of the Bielefeld conspiracy (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bielefe...).

It exists.

Thank you @tinalonsdorf.bsky.social for hosting me!

Very excited that our (@ingrdmrtn.bsky.social, Luianta Verra & myself) RLDM 2025 Workshop "Game on: Leveraging Gamification to Understand Cognitive and Computational Mechanisms" has been accepted!

We will soon be opening a call for contributed talks - stay tuned if you are interested!

🚨 Very excited to share that I have recently joined 🇸🇪 @karolinskainst to work with @neuronsson on a computational and neural approaches to understanding psychiatric conditions, particularly anxiety and depression!

TLDR: RTs of the eating disorder group get progressively faster over the course of a block.
