Every language builds meaning using a different set of tricks. The brain physically rewires itself accordingly, new research suggests.

Very nice @ScienceNews article on our recent @NeuroImage_EiC publication https://t.co/N3Hf5pX6xx by @elisecutts "... our mother tongues are far more than just the words we happened to grow up with — they are quite literally a part of us". Comment by @qzhever.

„Vive la différence!“ The language we speak shapes the connectivity in our brain and influences the way we think!
Native language differences in the structural connectome of the human brain.

Some happy Leipzig memories now published! We used #TMS to test if anterior #IFG is specialised for #semantics, posterior for #syntax. We found no clear-cut double dissociation, but rather evidence for both #language domains in aIFG and only syntax in pIFG https://t.co/oKje7xS3do

It’s an absolute BUMMER when I find out scholars whose work I admire are 🗑 mentors (defined here as habitually negligent, disrespectful, & unkind), often reproducing the bs they claim to critique.
A subtweet of no one in particular but a reminder to all mentors to do better.

it made me so proud (but also nostalgic) to see my first mentee, @StanvdBurght, close this chapter with such an effortless mastery! yet, looking back to how much fun we had on the way, I can only look forward to a very promising future! congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

[FriedericiLab @FriedericiLab]

Congratulations from everyone at @FriedericiLab (& @labCoPla) to @StanvdBurght who passed his doctoral defense *summa cum laude* yesterday! 🎉🍾Well-deserved, Dr van der Burght! 👨‍🎓

One reason for such differences has to do with whether debates over racism have taken place and thus whether people consider it acceptable to publicly express racist views. Such debate has never occurred in 🇵🇹 up to today, thus many respondents do not use ‘acceptability filters’.

You’re probably all tired of me saying this, but European countries really need to think (and talk!) more about their #covid19 strategies.
This is public health 101.
People are generally more willing to go along with you if you tell them where you are going and why...

I'm very happy to announce that our paper "Revealing the multidimensional mental representations of natural objects underlying human similarity judgements" has now been published in @NatureHumBehav .

Meine Kollegin, 13 Uhr, per Whatsapp: „kannst du bitte kurz auf deine E-Mails reagieren? Danke!“

Und dann wundert ihr euch, warum die Leute keinen Bock mehr auf befristete, unterbezahlte Stellen an der Uni und in der Forschung haben???

"within each section" meaning that this gender pay gap cannot be "explained" by saying that female PhD candidates are overrepresented in the lower-paid sections. This is academia 2020🤯 #genderpaygap

[William Matchin @wmatchin]

Yeah...This constantly reminds me that science is mostly self-promotion and less actual science than we'd like to believe.

[sade j. abiodun @abiodun_et_al]

what are we looking at here?

this is what ‘diversity’ currently looks like in academia.

each line represents an R1 university.

for each school, these are the % estimates for psychology and neuroscience faculty by race/eth

guess what the blue represents.

@_lenaackermann this actually happens a lot – part of the #reviewer2 syndrome is the lack of ability of the authors to understand a perspective other than their own. misunderstanding is a two-way street 😋 congrats!
