Still buzzing from all the neuroaesthetics and creativity insight downloaded at @IAEAPalma2024 . As I am just beginning my PhD in the @ARTIS_H2020 lab (pictured) and @EvaLabVienna - I feel so grateful to learn from so many emerging & established groovy people. Gracias a todos 🤎

@IAEAPalma2024 What a great conference! Here just a very brief impression of only some of our contributions. We were honored to present our work amongst so many other great contributions, and thankful for the great scientific discussions as well as just happy and fun times! #iaea

Hey #AcademicTwitter! My volunteers and interns at @arisaindia would love to have some sessions on Introduction to #Stats #Neuroscience #R and more! Would anyone here be willing to take online sessions or give a talk or point to resources? Thank you!!

March has been an exceptionally expensive month already. Would really appreciate if you boost the campaign so that we can reach €1000 soon!

Read my latest fundraiser update for detailed info on my extra expenses.

Hi, all! I've had quite a dreadful couple of years dealing with chronic illnesses and disabilities that has delayed my PhD even further. Would be truly grateful if you donate to my fundraiser or help me reach a larger audience by sharing it. Thanks a ton!

Interrupting my hiatus for a few seconds to announce that I was today years old when I realised what white paper writing actually means.

It's Friday! Didn't get much done today except writing a short proposal for a summer academy workshop for students and answering emails, but anyway: Time to start the weekend and relax. ☀️

Have some spring blooms from my lunch walk. 😊🌸 (@Neurosresh)

@fem_abc @KiraHoeffler @V_Meletaki @kohinoordarda @_lenaackermann @Karnythia Another actionable point: Provide financial assistance (if you're able) wherever possible. It ALWAYS helps.

In this capitalistic world, money means a whole lot to marginalised (if not most) ppl. So, support small businesses/shops run by marginalised genders (artists, creators).
