We’ve identified the somato-cognitive action network (SCAN), a newly recognized network within human primary motor cortex that disrupts the famous—but incorrect—motor homunculus, and has strong connections to high-level control networks. Now out in @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-023

Do and share neurocognitive substrates? This study with former post-doc (now at U. Wisconsin- Madison) @HaleyDresang and @WongAaronL capitalizes on dual-route models in both the language and action domains to clarify overlap (and lack thereof). @MossResearch twitter.com/HaleyDresang/statu

Strongest possible advice to early grad students: you need outside hobbies or projects that are meaningful to you. It is dangerous for your only source of value, identity, and friendship to be academia. You absolutely have to find something else to invest in, it’s just not safe

🚨 New paper! 🚨

We often fail to foresee how our science can indirectly harm individuals and groups, e.g., by shaping social perceptions.

In a new @PLOSCompBiol paper, we outline ten simple rules to facilitate thinking on our social impacts

Ten simple rules for socially responsible science

Guidelines concerning the potentially harmful effects of scientific studies have historically focused on ethical considerations for minimizing risk for participants. However, studies can also indirectly inflict harm on individuals and social groups through how they are designed, reported, and disseminated. As evidenced by recent criticisms and retractions of high-profile studies dealing with a wide variety of social issues, there is a scarcity of resources and guidance on how one can conduct research in a socially responsible manner. As such, even motivated researchers might publish work that has negative social impacts due to a lack of awareness. To address this, we propose 10 simple rules for researchers who wish to conduct socially responsible science. These rules, which cover major considerations throughout the life cycle of a study from inception to dissemination, are not aimed as a prescriptive list or a deterministic code of conduct. Rather, they are meant to help motivated scientists to reflect on their social responsibility as researchers and actively engage with the potential social impact of their research.
