AVA meeting in Birmingham is starting! So happy to give a talk about adult amblyopia and VR training! #VisionScience #ScienceForEveryone

When I say I am a vision scientist, they tell me about their corrective lenses
(Plz don't I only know retinal diseases and early visual cortex)

Want the freedom of a fancy fellowship, but not the year-long wait or arduous application?

Come join my lab! Work on neuroscience and AI, explore your creativity, be independent or work closely with me, collaborate widely, and have a lot of fun!

It is not a massive issue but I still need to finish my study which use a 3D passive screen haha

Is the trend of 3D passive TVs over? I had trouble finding 3D passive glasses after breaking my last pair #VisionScience

They really do want to destroy all autistic people.

Hello Monica, I would love to be added, I am working on vision science. More particularly on lazy eye. www.win.ox.ac.uk/people/julie...

Still open until the end of the year #UK #Oxfordshire #England

Old school brain scientists not ready for modern philosophy

Recruiting participants - improving inclusivity We talk to postdoctoral researcher and EDI ambassador Juju Fars about LGBTQIA+ inclusion in research and how they marked Pride month.

Look, I say things about inclusion here!

Do you have a PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience or Neuroimaging & are looking for a post-doc?

Do you want to join a friendly lab?

Do you want to live in Norwich (UK) - gorgeous city close to the beach? You can surf, meet seals, do wonderful walks, eat gelato & enjoy gorgeous sunsets!

Looks great! I would consider applying but I never worked on DTI....

Turns out I like to teach about vision science

A really important finding is that well over half of people in poverty in the UK (54%) live in a family that includes a disabled person.

In 2022/23, there were 8.7 million people in poverty who are disabled themselves, or who live with a disabled person, up from 6.9 million in 2019/20.

Today’s wisdom - discussed at my lab:
"If you were born after Beyblade was released, you’re officially young."

Early career science peeps:

The next couple of years at least are going to be brutal for science funding. These resources will be crucially important.

Yes! I really needed this one!

Gorgeous!

I swear the UK is the temperature opposite of south east Asia. In S.E. Asia, it's hot and moist and here, it's cold and moist

We still look for participants in Oxford and London for our lazy eye study! Please share and I will be very happy!

Today 25 years ago, the first fMRI study got published that imposed layers on human MR images.

It took another 8 years until the first layer profiles (plot of fMRI signal across layers).

Every three weeks, I bring homemade vegan baked goods to work, and I've been asked in the past to share the recipes. Finally, I've started writing them up on my website!
Here is the first one: Fluffly Garlic Bread (jujufars.owlstown.net/pages/5298-p... )

Graph showing daily temperature anomaly hitting peak of 2.06°C on November 17th, 2023 for the time period starting from 1940 to 2023.

There's a deep sense of sadness and loneliness seeing this record shattering graph.

November 17, 2023 was the first day in recorded history when the earth's surface was a whole 2°C hotter than pre-industrial times. Yet, there's barely any chatter about this staggering breach.
