I want to extend my full support to staff threatened with compulsory redundancy at the University of Edinburgh.

I have today written to the Principal imploring him to change direction.

After submitting a FOIA request UKRI, I obtained success rates by three grant call scheme and I can only say that I am disheartened by the results:

- AHRC Responsive Mode 2025: 2%
- ESRC New Investigator Grant 2025: 1%
- ESRC Research Grant Round 2025: 1%

I'm so sorry to share that Friedemann Pulvermüller, brilliant neuroscientist, has passed. He gave Embodiment ideas legs and worked tirelessly on treatments for stroke victims during his storied career. His kindness and wry humor made him sparkle.

Research from psychologists @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social and The University of Hamburg shows our brains don’t rely on one unified world model, but juggle multiple predictive threads at once. A glimpse into how experience gets fragmented then woven together. Read more: edin.ac/47cETTX #psychology

I am co-editing a special issue on the "Neural Bases of Language Processing in the Wild" together with @swathikiran.bsky.social on Brain and Language (zero embargo period). If you are interested, I am happy to chat more (currently at my favorite #snl2025). www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...
