I rarely watch live music on TV and enjoy it, but Ezra Collective at Glastonbury right now is awesome and making me wish I was there. Love bands with that much joy on stage

There are plenty of issues with student teaching feedback, but it is satisfying when you feel a module has gone particularly well in a given year and it is reflecting in both the quantitative and qualitative feedback from students

As I head back home from Paris, a small positive note. Academia can be hard at times, but we get paid and funded to travel to interesting places just to exchange knowledge and ideas. What a wonderful thing

Awesome time today at Neurospin talking about memory and forgetting and then learning a lot about time and memory! The comfy lecture theatre and architectural oscillations were also tip-top. Thanks again @herbstso.bsky.social, @matthewrlogie.bsky.social, & @virginievanw.bsky.social!

What are the cool kids using for fonts (specifically for lab logos) these days? Or should I just embrace the professorial life and use Comic Sans? Strong font opinions actually wanted for once 🙂

External examiner duties done, and my last year of doing them as well. Onward to a summer of research and writing papers (for 4 weeks until the school summer holidays start...)!

Goodbye marking season, hello external examiner season! Shout out to all the uni EEs who after weeks of marking are now wading through loads of scripts from other universities.

Universities have very different duties of care for students than they do for staff, and I personally couldn't be less interested in a wellbeing seminar/online resources. Staff need more careful management of workload density, and staffing which includes resilience to staff absence through illness

I don't usually post about such things, but Simon was such a wonderful human. Kind, funny, endlessly inquisitive and academically curious, incredibly smart. He was one of the good ones, and I'll sorely miss him and his contributions to our @durhamias.bsky.social memory meetings
