Welcome @elh-institute.bsky.social !

Welcome Kamil (@kamil-toronto.bsky.social)!

What better first post than an annoucment that my lab is recruiting a PhD student! The deadline for the PhD program in Applied Cognitive and Brain Sciences at Drexel University is 12/1 - join us in fabulous Philadelphia!

Excited to share our latest preprint: "Challenges in replicating layer-specificity of working memory processes in the human prefrontal cortex.”, where we attempted to replicate layer-specific fMRI findings in the human dlPFC during a working memory task. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Welcome!

Time for my first contribution in this space... I'm afraid it won't be an inspirational one, rather a cry for help. Does one of you under this beautiful bluesky have a Skyra 3T system on VE11C or XA30 software platforms? And do you have some time to do me a favour? Drop me a private message :)

🚨 PhD opportunity alert! 🚨 Passionate about neuroscience? Want to work with cutting-edge tech like ultra-high field MRI and intracranial EEG to study the human brain? Join us and push the boundaries of neuroscience 🧠✨ 📍 @macsbio.bsky.social 📆 2 March 🔗 tinyurl.com/bfjwpmt9 #neurojobs #PhD

HOT OFF THE PRESS - Back in 2019 we started asking ourselves what could you to demonstrate where werable, OPM-MEG technology could fit into naturalistic #neuroskyence. One snag, we'd have to build the system from scratch first... Anyway its 2025, read the paper here -> doi.org/10.1162/imag...

Welcome Cornelius (@faber-mri-lab.bsky.social)!

I am excited to announce that I will be founding an institute for network stimulation at the University Hospital Cologne – already this coming May!

What Europe should do RIGHT NOW: Make it extremely easy for US scientists to get long-term visa, create as many additional research jobs in key areas as possible, create new, generous science and research funds. People are losing their jobs over there NOW. Let‘s welcome them.

Mit über 130.000 Menschen waren wir heute in mehr als 150 Orten und haben ein klares Zeichen gegen den realitätsverweigernden Wahlkampf gesetzt. Gemeinsam waren wir für unser #RechtAufZukunft auf der Straße!

I’ve put together a Starter Pack of funding agencies & programs to help #researchers, #startups, and #innovators navigate their options. This list should help you keep up to date on your options. #FundingOpportunities #Innovation #ResearchFunding go.bsky.app/F9Vvvdm

We have an opening for a 12 month Research Assistant post, funded by an ERC grant. The postholder would help with several neuroimaging projects, including MEG and 7T fMRI. Please repost and share with anyone who may be interested. www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/... #neuroskyence #Neuroimaging

Keen on doing a PhD or Postdoc in predictive cognition at THINK? www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/think/index.... I'll be hiring for positions starting this summer/fall—reach out if you're interested!

New layer-fMRI job: Staff scientist (permanent position after trial period) at the new shinty Terra.X at the Max Planck Institute in Frankfurt with Dimo Ivanov e-recruiting.pro/jobposting/9...

Die AFD ist die Partei der kleinen Leute. Mit 180.000€ Einkommen.

On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate all female researchers who push the frontiers of knowledge! Introducing @noeliaferruz.bsky.social - a chemist @crg.eu aiming to design a digital mind capable of explaining its reasoning. 👉 aiproteindesign.com

Eines haben sie alle gemeinsam: die Leidenschaft für ihre Forschung ✨🧪🌎 Ein herzliches Willkommen an alle zwölf neu berufenen Max-Planck-Direktorinnen! Damit steigt der Anteil von Wissenschaftlerinnen in Führungspositionen erneut 🤩 www.mpg.de/24147695/meh... #IDWGS2025 #WomenInScience

Die Bild-Zeitung übernimmt mit Nius&Co die Rolle, die in den USA Fox News, OAN usw. spielen. Es geht um Polarisierung - Menschen sollen in „Seiten“ aufgeteilt werden, und es werden „Gründe“ geliefert, warum die andere „Seite“ zu verachten ist. Sie verdienen damit Geld und Macht. Zum Schaden aller.

Die Zivilgesellschaft macht Hoffnung. Ein starkes Zeichen. www.tagesschau.de/inland/gesel...

Hello, Bluesky! ☀️ We fund frontier research in Europe—bold ideas, unexpected discoveries and science that shapes the future. So it’s only fitting we’ve landed here. Sorry for being late. Follow us for updates on ERC funding, research policy, and our grantees' discoveries.

Welcome, Ben (@highonfield.bsky.social)!

Welcome Jose (@josepmarques.bsky.social)!

Really looking forward to this week's #BrainMeeting from our amazing Chair of the Methods Group, the brilliant @corticalpete.bsky.social. Make sure you join us!

WOMEN and FEMALE are red flag words. (Men, male are not on the list). Let that sink in.

(1/5) All abstracts to this year‘s @ismrm.bsky.social were accepted. Congrats to the team! www.ismrm.org/25/accepted_... Our abstracts mainly evaluate the traveling-head study MR data we recorded as part of our recently launched @ercresearch.bsky.social project (cordis.europa.eu/project/id/1...).

Hope you'll forgive a quick thread as I take over as the new EiC of @elife.bsky.social

The text on the front banners say 'We are the Firewall'. Massive demo in Berlin today against right-wing extremism.

Ich bin tief gerührt! ♥️ 80.000 Menschen in Hamburg 45.000 Menschen in Stuttgart 35.000 Menschen in Essen Und vielen anderen Städten Gegen die rechtsextreme AfD & die Handlungen von Friedrich Merz für eine Zusammenarbeit. Das ist der Aufstand der Anständigen. Morgen dann Berlin & weiteren Orten.

Today, on my way to my lecture on MR Physics at the University of Hamburg, I realized that there is a protest against the AFD and the CDU (that is indirectly accepting support from the AFD: www.ndr.de/nachrichten/...). I joined the protest after the lecture:-) Well done Hamburg!

There's a lot going on right now, but just to add one more thing to the plate, each of the last 16 days has broken the daily global-average temperature according to ERA5 reanalysis (climatereanalyzer.org/clim/t2_dail...). This coming on the heels of 2024 being the warmest year in recorded history...

Einladung zum Dialog über die Zukunft wissenschaftlicher Informationsinfrastrukturen. In ihrem Diskussionspapier analysiert die #DFG zentrale Handlungsfelder und Herausforderungen eben dieser Infrastrukturen. Ziel ist es, gemeinsam Lösungsansätze zu suchen. Mehr dazu: ⬇️ www.dfg.de/de/aktuelles...

We're seeking a Ph.D. student to join us on our 'Deep Microstructural Phenotyping of the Developing Adolescent Brain' Wellcome Discovery Award. A unique chance to study microstructural development with ultra-strong gradients AND ultra-high field. Please repost 🙏 www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

See our recent @naturebiotech.bsky.social study SCP-Nano in flow! Mapping LNPs, AAVs, and DNA nanostructures to track targeting & unseen toxicity before clinical trials 🤩. Already >190K access, the most in recent years! 👇🏼 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Merz wirft sich selbst aus der CDU, weil er sich nicht an Brandmauer hält

Nicht einmal Donald Trump in den USA kommt auf die Idee, Amerikaner:innen auszubürgern. CDU/CDU hingegen wollen morgen die Unterscheidung von Deutschen mit und ohne „deutsches Blut“ wieder einführen, und die ohne „deutsches Blut“ ausbürgern können, wann immer es ihnen beliebt.

Der zweite Antrag der CDU/CSU, über die der Bundestag morgen abstimmen wird, beinhaltet Remigration. Nicht ethnisch Deutsche sollen ausgebürgert werden können. Die AfD fordert schon seit Jahren Remigration. Die Union wird es ihr morgen schenken. Und dieses Land fundamental verändern.

Wow! That's so wrong...

And just like that, my new award from the @StateDept to help Pakistan grapple with air pollution and climate change is no more, thanks to this new administration

I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔

Happy 30th birthday year to SPM!! 🎈🍰 To get the party started, we are delighted to announce SPM 25.01, a major new version of the open-source neuroimaging software. Read the preprint to discover what's new arxiv.org/pdf/2501.12081 and download SPM for free from Github github.com/spm/spm/rele...
