Hear me out. Who was the first dude on the podium at the Euros final there? Was it Tom Cruise in a Mission: Impossible mask? And if you’re saying no, are you sure? The face, the eyes, and the hands don’t match the face.

Great day and a bit with Katrina and Ranbir in Huddersfield for the Yorkshire and Humber Policy Engagement and Research Network meeting. Lots of networking, and lots of good ideas to be working on from an East Midlands perspective! 🤓

I had such a wonderful time recording this episode of The Movie Method with the brilliant Jenny @filmtherapy.bsky.social and Roger who I am so blessed to be able to call my friends. Can’t wait to listen - I know our friendship and our love of this film will come across 🥰 Thank you for having me on!

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to present my Frith Prize talk at the EPS meeting yesterday — it was such an honour and a delight!

Ah that’s amazing, thank you. I wasn’t trying to be rude about your post, it just stirred something within me! Thanks for adjusting that 👍

Here’s my opinion - let’s stop saying a piece of work is from someone’s (the most well-known person’s) lab. Let’s credit the first author even if we haven’t already heard of them. How do PhD students and postdoc and other ECRs get known if we erase their names from discussions of their own papers?

New study from Raffaella Nori's lab on how cognitive load affects intentional action judgments for side effects

Results are very different from what pretty much anyone would have predicted

What an absolutely brilliant concert with Stamford Chamber Orchestra! Mozart narrated a ‘children’s guide’ piece written specially for us by John Sturt, complete with kiddo violins & singers. Jupiter symphony was genuinely one of the best things I’ve played in a while - well done everyone!

Ugh no. I met Mark once, a long time ago. He and his wife, Gabby Giffords, are absolutely amazing. Look them both up. Mark and Gabby have such a collective wisdom, they should be listened to.

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

"...there is now a worry that REF2029 will enable a different injustice: that institutions can hold onto the outputs of staff they have sacked, while making it harder for them to gain new academic employment because they are no longer linked to the work they created."
