Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Alright #fNIRS folks - I need your help. Is there a genuinely robust functional activation paradigm that yields canonical HRFs in the adult prefrontal cortex (specifically frontal pole)? Arithmetic? Stroop? N-back? What's the go-to option?

NYE2016: That was dire. Bowie & Prince are dead, Trump is pres. & the UK is backward. 2017 can’t be worse
NYE2017: Ok, Dad’s gone. 2017 can fuck right off
NYE2018: Eurghh. But we do have a baby and he slept though the fireworks
NYE2019: Another flaming bag of shit. 🤞for 2020!

My 18 m.o. daughter only started walking a few weeks ago but today she learnt to blow her nose and every parent will know this is probably more life-changing. Little genius.
