Fellow academics.

Do you also feel that the #climate crisis doesn't get the attention it deserves in German politics?

Please consider signing this petition by @de.scientists4future.org today!

It'll be handed to the new Bundestag/Parliament tomorrow

And I have to say, I don't understand the silence in the country given the insanity.
Not all Republicans are insane, but all Republicans have decided being insane isn’t a deal-breaker.

What are we talking about, when we talk about 'representations'?

My undergraduate student, Oyinkansola Olorunleke, is conducting a thesis project on the concept of representation in cognitive sciences & neuroscience.

We are seeking interested participants in the below survey:

Representation: Past, Present & Future
This questionnaire is for a final year neuroscience student who is doing her capstone as part of the Representation: Past, Present & Future Project at Trinity College Dublin.

The scenes in the Oval Office today will shame the US for decades. They’ll never be forgotten.

A world leader, fighting for his country against the 21st century’s Nazis, came to the US and was attacked & abused by a gangster regime siding with the fascist invaders.

A historic disgrace.

🚀 New paper out in Psychological Review!

How does learning change across the lifespan? We propose that resource rationality—adapting belief updating to cognitive limitations—can explain age-related differences in learning.

The German election result is somewhat expected. But I'm still devastated seeing AfD getting 20% seat in the Bundestag. And why the hell do people still vote for the CDU. This damn party ruled for 16 years and left the country at its current state! The future is looking bleak 😢

Saddened to hear about the passing of Eleanor Maguire. I don't know her personally, but her brilliant work on memory, hippocampus, and scene construction has been tremendously inspiring to me since I was a doctoral student. Our field suffers a great loss.
It is with profound sadness that we share the devastating news that Eleanor Maguire passed away on January 4th. She was a phenomenally brilliant neuroscientist, with immense passion for her work and many remarkable accomplishments. We will miss her terribly.
