Happy BiN Week 2023! 🙌🏾✨️

I'm a 3rd year PhD student using in vivo electrophysiology to better understand how neurons encode social cues for instinctive behaviour. Really looking forward to connecting with old friends and making new friends this year 😊

Thrilled to share my PhD work, out in @nature today. @fisekmehmet & I developed an all-optical approach to study long-range connectivity across brain areas. Upshot: visual feedback is spatially organized & nonlinearly integrated in V1 apical dendrites. https://t.co/VuMwuB8tes

500,000 workers on strike tomorrow.

RT if you support every single one of them.

@afsaanaah was gonna say i'd prefer this to slack but if we were on discord i wouldn't know how to cope

social programming lies to us that rich people 'deserve' to be in their position, through skill, talent, or wisdom.

rich people get rich because they took a small fortune and turned it into a huge fortune

trump and musk are man children whose only talent is throwing money away

Always said the Conservatives would produce the first Prime Minister of colour, and it’s precisely because Labour have been spooked into treating their own Black and Asian MPs like shit because otherwise Murdoch’s papers will accuse them of betraying the white working class.

Where do decisions get made? Decisions about sensory information are thought to arise high in the cortical processing hierarchy. Our @NatureNeuro study challenges this, showing that decision signals consequential for behaviour are found at the earliest cortical processing stages.

Watch our promo video (voiced by myself ☺️) and get involved with the Centre for Education and Criminal Justice!

lots of exciting stuff to come✨

it's been a wonderful experience learning so much through working on the Blue Sky Thinking series📚

Here's to a future of reform!

In 2020 mid pandemic Durham University sent me a bill for £2400 claiming that I handed my PhD in early and thus had to pay my stipend back 🧵

“From the stories of over 70 women interviewed thus far, it is obvious that there is no singular archetype of a woman neuroscientist, nor is there one path to ‘success’.” - great commentary by @storiesofwin in @SfNJournals

Hello and Happy #BlackInNeuroWeek 2022! 🙌🏾✨

I am a 2nd year PhD student @SWC_Neuro researching the neural basis of transitions in pup-directed behaviours. Really excited about the events planned for this week and getting to know some of you better!
