I support the Mensarius Oath for ethical investing created by @govclab https://t.co/M8eATCs8Ob #MensariusOath
excited to support this both in my work for @GlobalBioFund and future endeavours!

I don't even know why this needs to still be done but please sign if you're in the UK! Petition: Ban Water Companies discharging raw sewage into water courses. https://t.co/pJhLT5FytK

@andrewgrayusc states that the future of medicine is doing genetic engineering in vivo, not ex vivo, and @KarmaBiotech is about finding ways to engineer the immune system inside the patient's body by providing it the tools needed to fight the disease.

@hulu_support I am outside the US now yes, so wanted to cancel my account (it was a family emergency that I had to come back to the UK for). I totally understand not being able to stream, but I would like to cancel/suspend whilst I cannot use your services.

[Laura Brightman @lauraliza]

@hulu_support I cannot access or cancel my account and it's driving me crazy. Since I cannot log in, how do I access support? Ideally I don't want to be on hold for hours and the support email no longer responds. #TechnoSupport

Super excited to have our boss Andrew chat to Lab launch next month! Tune in or watch the recording after :) #Biotechnology #biotech #startup #CEO

[Lab Launch @LabLaunch]

Sign up for our next Startup Conversations featuring @andrewgrayusc, CEO of @KarmaBiotech. We'll be discussing Andrew's experiences raising seed funding. https://t.co/sHf5xQwTaT

Coping strategies for #ImposterSyndrome - Accept that most people have a feeling of being imposters.

Quantify the risk that makes you feel like an Imposter, measure it, the actual risk is much smaller than the feeling itself

[Laura Brightman @lauraliza]

excited for all @KarmaBiotech (Karmeleons) to be fully vaccinated and back in the office together! #karmabiotech #biotech #startup #biology

[Laura Brightman @lauraliza]

Really enjoying the #impostersyndrome Panel talk listening to how some impressive women have dealt with their fears. #GBX #gbf

If you missed ISDP2020, here's my 12-minute talk on the intra- and inter-personal neural dynamics of infant social learning! A.k.a Why your child won't eat broccoli and other parenting dilemmas!🥦🤔

This makes so much sense 😂

[Neuroskeptic 🇺🇦 @Neuro_Skeptic]

Procrastination as conditioned behaviour, driven by the reward of completing a task at the last minute. According to a study in pigeons https://t.co/yZu738xMRC "I was going to use mice but left it to the last minute and they sold out"

Super happy with the fantastic cover by @BarthvanRossum to illustrate one of the most interesting projects during my postdoc at @LeibnizFMP, now online @angew_chem. A collaboration with @LivUni @FU_Berlin @ChemCambridge #NMRchat #DNPlove

Join along with the quest if you'd like! @quaranteenquest #quarantinequests

[rshigeta @rshigeta]

Drawing on visual cortex with current steering allows the blind to see letters. visual encoding is not as convoluted as you might think..

[Laura Brightman @lauraliza]

@rshigeta Haha I'm wondering if it's a form of visual neglect 😂

[Laura Brightman @lauraliza]

I feel like this is still me.... I wonder if there's a reason for it! There are video games where people get very good at finding objects from a silhouette or word, yet I bet that doesn't translate to real life?

[Laura Brightman @lauraliza]

If you want to join in please follow along, I hope to start this weekend. If it gets exciting maybe I'll make a blog or something. Otherwise I will disperse quests on Twitter/Instagram/Facebook. Comments/suggestions/help/support extremely welcome. #staysafe

[Laura Brightman @lauraliza]

Ok so I've been bad at twitter. I've been bad at emails. Quarantine is making my brain spill out my ears. The #neuroscientist in me says enough! I plan to start some daily quests. I'm working out how that will work but I would love for people to join me. #quarantinequests

[Laura Brightman @lauraliza]

I spoke to others in the same boat, lack of 'episodes' or 'events' are bad for our brains. We need a daily rupture in our routine, but nothing too strenuous or scary. Ideally it will bring us together. It doesn't have to be impactful but it must be distracting
