From my #EEGManyLabs colleagues (Yuri and Faisal). Please share widely...

Thanks to funding from the UK Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council we are pleased to be able to advertise for two posts.

The first advert is for a Scientific Coordinator (36 months, 1.0 FTE) to help support our >200-strong community of replicating labs, curate the large datasets that are being acquired so that future researchers can gain maximum value from them and perform meta-analyses to provide a complete picture of the replicability of the most influential EEG phenomena. You can apply for the role here: https://jobs.leeds.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=MHPSY1107

The second is for a Research Fellow (33 months, 1.0 FTE) who can help us leverage the legacy of #EEGManyLabs through open-source tools and resources that make it easier to undertake robust EEG experiments. Details here: https://jobs.leeds.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=MHPSY1108

All applications require online submission through the links above. Applications for both positions will close on 13th July (midnight UK time).

The positions will be based at the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom in beautiful Yorkshire.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to get in touch with Faisal Mushtaq via f.mushtaq@leeds.ac.uk.

The irony of the right-wing shouting about 'free speech' while simultaneously demanding censorship of any ideas that challenge their fragile beliefs is truly a masterpiece of hypocrisy.

Looking for #neuroscience? Or #Celegans? or #Drosophila? Or #connectomics? Or #brains, #entomology, #academia, #nativebees? Different place, different approaches – tags here are useful and can be followed.

For accounts, @PhiloNeuroSci selects and comments on neuroscience papers; @eLife and @PLOSBiology publish their papers and digests.

@NicoleCRust challenges us all often; @matrig and @kristinmbranson publish at the intersection of neuroscience and computer science; John @tuthill, @BorisBarbour, Jason Shepherd @jasonsynaptic , @mtarr @gepasi, @cian, @schoppik, @MatteoCarandini, Dan Goodman @neuralreckoning, Bryan @BWJones, @achterbrain, @CoriBargmann and many others publish on neuroscience among other topics.

On open access and #ScientificPublishing there's Stephen Eglen @sje, Stephen Royle @clathrin

I am living many out ... the list is long. One way to find them is via tags like #neuroscience.

Big accounts like Doctorow @pluralistic, @Carl_Zimmer, @jwz, and @timkmak are here too. There are many more.

There are useful bots like, for me, @flypapers – I wish I could filter for neuro-only papers, but the volume isn't high. Then there're neuroscience-specific servers like synapse.cafe and neuromatch.social – their local timelines may reveal further accounts you may like.

Especially thinking of all members of the #lgbtq community in #uganda today. May you know freedom and peace. We see you 🩷🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🧡 #pridemonth

Another picture of Grizzly #863, also known as Felicia, leads her two cubs to the side of a rural road outside of Grand Teton National Park as they contemplate crossing a rural road. The sow kicked the cubs, or separated from them a few days later as they are two year olds and need to live life on their own.

Exciting times for the use of gene therapy in clinical disorders. Very glad to be in @UCLBrainScience to see all this happen close up.

In Howard Address, Biden Warns of ‘Sinister Forces’ Trying to Reverse Racial Progress - The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/13/us/politics/biden-howard-commencement-black-voters.html

President Biden declared on Saturday that white supremacy is “the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland” and warned a predominantly Black audience that “sinister forces” embraced by his predecessor and putative challenger are trying to reverse generations of racial progress in America.
