Had a great time talking about our research and careers with @ELWilson92 @JACoates @JohnDHoward8 If you want to hear about neural stem cells, preprinting research, leaving academia, or women's cricket then this is the show for you!

[Preprints in Motion podcast @MotionPod]

🎉 EPISODE 23 OUT NOW!🎉
This week we learn about tanycytes - stem cells found in the hypothalamus - and how the cell adhesion molecule NrCAM regulates their development, with @Alexthemessiah and Kavitha Chinnaiya, friends of the podcast team from our #PhD days at @sheffielduni!

@AXS_UK I need to transfer Linkin Park tickets to my friends ahead of the gig at the O2 tomorrow (24 Sep) but there is no transfer option available in the app or on your website. How do I do this?

[Alex Moore @Alexthemessiah]

@TheO2 When will ticket transfers be available for Linkin Park tomorrow (24/09)? I need to send my friends their tickets.

@ashleyruba @JACoates I don't tweet much and trying to stop using the platform, but I think you're right about this.

I talked at surface level about my journey on the @MotionPod earlier this year. https://t.co/I1vkrf8i4H

@CurrysServices @JohnRH2909 I've been having the same issues all afternoon. Your 'chat' agent wasn't able to help.

@curium @jim_reed That was my thought too. I assume it's because of the rare side effects associated with the AstraZeneca influencing people's decisions, but it wouldn't have taken more than a paragraph or two to discuss it. I assume it was left out because it would detract from the main argument.

V happy to see @Alexthemessiah, @KChinnaiya et al published. @SethBlackshaw @DRN_Sheffield @RadcliffeBlade Thanks All

@SMTaylorauthor @cambskeptics @PsychToday Okay, it's someone else's hypothesis that you think is credible.

Is it falsifiable? Is there any conceivable way to prove that hypothesis wrong?

[Alex Moore @Alexthemessiah]

@SMTaylorauthor @cambskeptics @PsychToday The flaw in my suggested study is that there's no clear way to define how many 'experiences' that reflect real occurrences are needed to prove or disprove they occur by chance. You could claim they're real even if <1% of events occur.

Is it possible to falsify your hypothesis?

[Alex Moore @Alexthemessiah]

@SMTaylorauthor @cambskeptics @PsychToday How can you prove it's too specific to be chance? How can you account for the biases I outlined in trial design for these types of events?

A cohort study where participants write down dreams and visions as they happen then later evaluated for accuracy. Unlikely to back up claims
