It was such a pleasure to talk to the CYP Wellbeing & MH network @exeter.ac.uk yesterday - thanks for hosting me @annaadlam.bsky.social ! Find out more about what I talked about and all our @lampresearchuk.bsky.social work here www.linkedin.com/posts/maria-...
I'm recruiting for my co-production workshops with health care workers involved in stroke and cognitive assessment at #UKSF24 If interested in helping out, please get in touch or grab me in the lobby today :) we hope to run these workshops in the new year.
We're leading a project that aims to improve the mental health and wellbeing of university students. Nurture-U looked at data from 6,000 students has found 35% had anxiety and depression, more than 50% were lonely & around 1/4 don’t have a healthy work-life balance. news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-h...
Lets start with something exciting! Applications are now open to join our fantastic department as a group leader fellow! Come start your independent group at (in our opinion) the best neuroscience department! reach out here or @macaskillaf.bsky.social for more info! www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...
And @nicholasbehn.bsky.social
And @emilytalbot.bsky.social @drpennytrayner.bsky.social

Hello! Me again! Can we add @sharonsavage.bsky.social to the list please?
Hello! Me again! Can we add @rebeccapoz.bsky.social please? A UK clinical neuropsychologist specialising in neuropsychological rehabilitation with older adults
this is what I used to enjoy about ‘the other place’ before it all changed - great science literally at my finger tips…I am so happy to be here and thank you for sharing @erictopol.bsky.social & @micahgallen.com
This is an exciting finding about an important question. Great work! The AHN is difficult to segment in human fMRI, but @dariaeajensen.bsky.social, et al. doi.org/10.1038/s414... made it work anyway. Here's to extending these findings to humans. Kudos!!
❓ Do you know what the anterior hypothalamic nucleus (AHN) does? No? Neither did we! 🧠
In a new preprint from the Cai Lab, learn how we discovered the AHN’s central role in regulating stress vulnerability.

Wonderful! Please can I be added to the list? @nrsigwfnr.bsky.social @jessfish.bsky.social @alexroseneuro.bsky.social too?
This is an excellent #neuroanatomy resource. I have been using it with my students for a number of years:
"Functional Neuroanatomy"

Haha! I still have that book on my bookshelf at work 🤩
Such a great way to connect with people! Do you know my colleague Ciro? experts.exeter.ac.uk/26749-ciro-c... if not, then I can introduce you via email.
I would love to meet people attending the British Neuropsychological Society Autumn Meeting in London next week, to exchange ideas. Me: neurocognition of facial difference processing, self and other perception, decision making. Feel free to contact me! #neuropsychology #stroke #cogneuro
How can neuroscience research inform education? Can we apply neuroscience discoveries in the classroom? If you're interested in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and education, my newsletter explores these issues through weekly, accessibly written posts. Subscribe here

As a mentor once told me “the nerves are a sign that you care” - I still get nervous before talks but (strangely?!) I always enjoy giving them! I’m sure you were great 🤩

Do you know www.brainfacts.org?
Terrific, accessible (free!) articles there about what’s new in brain research.
Like this timely piece! The neuroscience behind conspiracy theories.

I’m delighted to soon step into an editorial role at this terrific effort!

When I will respond to your email
…for my team meetings (n=7
researchers), have updates on projects circulated before the meeting with any challenges for discussion to be added to the agenda, and during the meeting start with one positive (work or life related) to encourage celebration of the good stuff that happens!
…and if an attendee is only contributing to part of the agenda then they can just pop in for their part if the rest of the meeting is not relevant to them; where possible, do not schedule meetings during our peak energy times of the day (save the high energy time to focus on ‘deep’ work);…
The main changes so far are: 25min or 45min meetings (no longer 1-hour as ‘standard’); every meeting has a purpose statement as well as an agenda so attendees knows what they will get out of the meeting; only have a meeting if there’s a purpose; only invite attendees who need to be there…
