My first Opening of the Academic Year #oaj2023 at @universiteitleiden

Theme #sustainability,
warming stripes flag flying,
inspiring speeches

But: will our university take action to undo ties with the fossil industry?

Thanks for a fantastic meeting @CogCompNeuro!

Out of curiosity, will CCN papers be indexed by Google Scholar?

Idea for @biorxivpreprint: could one sign up to receive an alert when a preprint is either published in a journal, or e.g. after one year?

This would be great to follow work just outside one's field, where the most complete/final piece would be of higher interest than the earliest version.

Science as a gift economy

This post is inspired by my brother Max Urai, the better writer of the family – two steps ahead in his thinking, as always. Why literature is a gift-economy (Rekto:Verso, in Dutch). I shamele…

Argues that the time is ripe for basic research on science policy which could directly inform science policy (and that researchers should spend more time in non-academic institutions)

Want to speed up scientific progress? First understand how science policy works

Researchers and policymakers often exist in different worlds and speak different languages. Here are three ways to bridge the divide.

Looking forward to @CogCompNeuro in Oxford this week! Has anyone registered already heard back about the mind matching event?

Are you a MSc student from China?
Interested in modelling social norms and tipping points?

Come apply for a CSC PhD scholarship in Leiden, NL with me!

How to be an Academic in a World on Fire: A Hands-On Workshop || CCN 2023 || 2023 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience || Oxford, UK || August 24 - 27, 2023

We are excited to present a Brain-Wide Map of neural activity during a complex decision-making behavior, a product of the monumental effort of 22 labs: 547 Neuropixels recordings in 267 brain regions from 115 mice collected in 11 labs 🐭 (1/8)
