Reinstating my account to share my job situation at the University of Liverpool

[Reshanne Reeder @kerblooee]

The head of the faculty told me I will be fired next year if I don't get a grant.

This is not a unique situation.

If you are considering working at Liverpool, beware.

Research income targets for Liverpool’s new academics ‘unfair’ https://t.co/EXcYog3Pl9 via @timeshighered

Growing pressure on probationary staff to win grants represents ‘material divergence’ from agreed policies, argue UCU leaders. @jgro_the reports #research #highered #UCU

Heartbroken. This fucking world.

@WordWeaver_ Now to convince the ERC reviewers 😂

[Reshanne Reeder @kerblooee]

ERC: You must demonstrate that you are the star of this project

Me:
"There is currently no explanation why some people hallucinate and others do not. Enter moi..."

Eyes-closed resting state differences between a hyperphantasic (left) and a typical imager (right), harkening to historic findings. Is hyperphantasia characterized by persistent low alpha power?

#hyperphantasia

[Reshanne Reeder @kerblooee]

Context: these were the 1st 2 subjects I analysed based on their PSI-Q visual score (hyper=10, typical=6.6). Resting state preceded ganzflicker. The hyperphantasic also saw complex ganzflicker hallucinations. Neither was aware of hyper/a/phantasia ahead of the experiment.

Very cool project utilizing a large sample of museum visitors to investigate inattentional blindness at scale!

[Reshanne Reeder @kerblooee]

ERC: You must sell your groundbreaking ideas and yourself in an entertaining way

Me: Hey all you people! Listen, all you people! Hey, all you people won't you listen to meee? I just had an idea! No ordinary idea! An idea that's worthy of fundiiiing!

[Reshanne Reeder @kerblooee]

My current stance is that mental imagery is an unnecessary (but fun, bonus) epi-phenomenon of our complex ability to plan/remember/strategize. What do you think?

Stop using the word “summer” when inviting British researchers to events—it’s like an insult to remind us that other countries have summer.

[Nick Mark MD @nickmmark]

$12k to publish in @nature but yeah the problem is northern hemisphere seasons.

[Reshanne Reeder @kerblooee]

@joosthaarsma The "expectation" literature and the "imagery" literature are generally treated as separate - I get why, but as you've pointed out, they can learn from each other!

[Reshanne Reeder @kerblooee]

Wow, one more right on the tails of @GiuliaCabbai's study!:

Did you miss our event last week on #worldmentalhealthday2024 exploring the implications of aphantasia on mental health therapy, with insights from @kerblooee and @DrMawtus?

So happy to see our paper finally out in @CurrentBiology ! 🥳 Link: https://t.co/JbUPt36Naj

@mikeamark @RCarhartHarris @WiringTheBrain Probably because there is clear confirmation bias in that conclusion. Let's just ignore the 20% of participants that actually showed a decrease in well-being...
