I was a middle class, middle of the road, middling person, muddling along. Shocks of Brexit,Trump, Ukraine and Gaza jolted me out of complacency. We must fight for our values every day, never take democracy for granted. I no longer think Bernie and AOC are “radical”; they’re principled and feisty. 👍

I am begging, pleading in fact, for my fellow academics to find some courage and start speaking up. Because you can't just keep your head down and ride out this storm. And even if you could, is that really what you want being a scholar and educator to be?

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

I’m confused by all the headline references to a “shouting match.” I saw one side shouting and the other side getting shouted over when he tried to talk.

If you still believe, after today‘s UN resolution, that Trump will change his mind, just as soon as the Europeans finally spend more on defence, I can‘t help you. Of course Europe must spend more on defence. But not as a gesture to please Trump. To protect ourselves & stand on our own 2 feet.

The fact that only 2% of professors identify as fascists shows just how insular and out of touch universities have become.

New paper reporting work led by @dkampis.bsky.social showing an altercentric bias in 14-month-old infants' memory. Using an ERP measure of semantic mismatch, we show that they remember better the identity of an object as it was seen by someone else, than as it was seen by the infant alone.

Technically I live just outside this utopian neighborhood but I get to enjoy this 5-minute-city and agree that this is what good ‘human’ living looks like. Few cars, beautiful spaces and seeing familiar faces whether it’s swimming and in the sauna, or grocery shopping.

Now published in Annual Review of Developmental Psychology. This is a review of what we know, and what we don't yet know. In it, I argue that the origins of our self-awareness must lie in interoception, and offer some thoughts on how social interactions might provide a mechanistic link in infancy.

About a year ago, I wrote about our lab's adventure in building a novel eye-tracker to give us superior data and novel functionality. Now, we are lucky to have been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept grant so that we can develop it further and see if it has any commercialisation potential 👀

Over the last year, we have been building something new in our lab: dual pupillometry & eye-tracking, led by pioneering post-doc Velisar Manea. Here we are using it to measure infant and caregiver pupil and gaze response simultaneously to the same event. Baby in red, mum in blue.
