Bloomsbury/UCL people: Have you tried this new Lebanese Cafe - Matbakh Kitchen - located on Great Ormond Street? The food is delicious! My Mums family came from Syria and I’m so happy to find truly authentic home cooking. Do try if you’re in the area.

Thank you to my dear friend Keisuke Suzuki @ksks.bsky.social for hosting me in snowy Sapporo for a Japanese Winter School. We were junior postdocs together, and now I get to visit him in his amazing lab ✌️

Open to everyone, from 'beginners' interested in understanding more about interoception, to leading researchers in the field who we'd love to add to discussions. Please consider applying or recommending to your students/colleagues www.neurosas.org/wp-signup.ph...

Our format provides a 'deep dive' into the work of each presenter, with a whole day dedicated to their research with added curated interactive activities. We share meals together, to facilitate informal discussion, and have an optional soccer game on the island!
