- Reposted by NeuroecologyLabDeadline in 3 days (Thursday 5th) to apply for a PhD with me and @ktsetsos.bsky.social at Trinity College Dublin in Cognitive Computational Neuroscience / neuro-AI. Please share!
- 🎓Fully-funded PhD studentship in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience!!! Join @seanfw.bsky.social and myself at @tcddublin.bsky.social for a PhD at the intersection of cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience (OPM-MEG) and neuro-AI. 🗓 Deadline: 5 Feb 2026 #neurojobs #neuroscience #compneuro
- Reposted by NeuroecologyLabBoth MRC and BBSRC responsive modes now withdrawn until further notice. Existing applications unlikely to succeed (late 2025 round expecting 1-5% success rate). Listen, I get that UKRI wants to pivot. But killing both at once is devastating. Let's hope at least one opens by summer... #AcademicSky
- It's finally fully 'version of record' out! As @magdalenaboch.bsky.social says, more to come.
- Excited to share that my first study on carnivoran brains is out! 🧠 We provide a unified framework for identifying neocortical sulci across 26 diverse carnivoran species, and discuss how regional variations in sulcal patterns may relate to their behaviour & ecology. elifesciences.org/articles/100...

- Reposted by NeuroecologyLabHappy #worlddogday! 🐶 👨🔬👩🔬 In this video, you will discover how dogs support us in our research at the University of Vienna and what we can learn from dogs about our own social behavior. 🧠 ⤵️
- Dogs usually ought to stay away from scientific measuring devices – unless, of course, they are part of the #research team. We accompany psychologist & neuroscientist @magdalenaboch.bsky.social & Kalea into the lab. There, they want to identify the regions of the 🧠 that shape our social #behavior. ⤵️
- Ecology and neuroscience. Like the sound of that :-)
- Pleased to have this review out in @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social. In it we discuss various aspects of the intersection between foraging behaviors and neuroscience, and offer some future directions: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

- Finished reading @nicolecrust.bsky.social’s Elusive Cures. Very interesting. I wonder, how do we change the way we train our students to help implement the new Grand Plan?

- Out now in Science Advances! We find that infants estimate environmental volatility to learn optimally, with early individual differences linked to temperament. This has be so much fun to work on and ended up being my favourite personal paper! So excited it's out! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

- Reposted by NeuroecologyLabURGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯 Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below. This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.
- My lab studies bacterial infections. We spend a lot of time looking at (or for) species-specific genetic and genomic databases for hosts and microbes. FlyBase is the best of all—there is literally no comparison. Its existence is under threat. Please donate. www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...
