📢 Deadline Extended!
You now have until March 12th to submit your work.
This year, we’re are also looking for submissions on perception, including x Interoception and/or Proprioception 🧠✨
The "publish or perish" culture must perish. Scientists need time to think.
We just published our Slow Science Manifesto, where we argue that huge changes are needed in the way we fund, publish, and evaluate science.

We've got ISSUES. Literally.
We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do?

New paper out in Neuroimage 🎊
Together with @genarolopezmartin.bsky.social, Chloe, @mateoleganes.bsky.social, and @alexgalvezpol.bsky.social, we review how internal signals from the heart, lungs, and stomach influence perception and outline strategies for more ecologically valid studies. 🧠🫁🫀
I’m proud to have helped launch the #PITraining survey of FKNE @fkne-scholars.bsky.social
We ask PIs to share what really matters for effective research leadership. Your feedback = better support, better science.
Take part or share:

What is the most profitable industry in the world, this side of the law? Not oil, not IT, not pharma.
It's *scientific publishing*.
We call this the Drain of Scientific Publishing.

We are aware of our own body parts, but can be fooled to think that rubber arms are ours; this is known as the rubber arm illusion. 🐒 and 🐀 have shown a similar effect, but what about other animals? In this correspondence, authors report a very similar phenomenon in 🐙 www.cell.com/current-biol...

Programming is essential for research in neuroscience and psychology. This Primer introduces ten principles guiding researchers toward writing clear, adaptable, and easily shareable code, supporting reproducible science.

Doughnut academia. Adapting the “doughnut” model of economics to the academic world enables us to visualize the inner social foundations that universities should provide, and the outer human and planetary boundaries that universities need to avoid overshooting. Note that the ordering of elements within the inner and outer rings is random; there is no direct pairing between foundations and ceilings. Adapted from Raworth, 2017 under a CC-BY-SA license.
Seven ways to think like a 21st century scientist. 1. Change the goal: from a business that produces papers and graduated students, towards a university that works towards the inside space of the academic doughnut. 2. Get savvy with systems: from feeling like a cog in the university machine, towards being gardeners of our academic system. 3. See the big picture: from academics who look out over the world from their ivory tower, towards scholarship which accepts its own embeddedness in (and dependence on) society and the planet. 4. Create to regenerate: from a rat race where we tread water, towards “slow scholarship” that values community building, deep thinking and rest crucial for intellectual work. 5. Nurture human nature: from the lone genius, towards team science. 6. Design to distribute: from a funding system where the rich get richer, towards a fair distribution of opportunities and resources. 7. Be agnostic about growth: from a focus on increasing numbers of papers, citations and students, towards rebuilding trust in our own academic communities and with society.
Feeling like academia is in pretty bad shape? You're not alone.
@clarekelly.bsky.social and I previously wrote about the need to collectively rethink and reshape scientific practice: the academic doughnut. Read more at elifesciences.org/articles/84991
But, have these ideas changed anything? 👇
🚨 New paper 🚨
How do people with mental health conditions experience bodily signals, and what are their priorities for interoceptive research?
These questions are what @lydiajhickman.bsky.social and my new paper in eClinicalMedicine tries to answer. 🧵 1/8

After a lot of work, I'm overjoyed to share that our lab is complete with the last additions: Victor & Ford Transit 🎉
Gentle, slow stroke touch significantly moves the heart by lowering rate and increasing rhythmicity. This effect is much stronger when someone else touches us, compared to self-touch. Out now in IEEE Trans Affective Comp @rebeccaboehme.bsky.social, @paulasalamone.bsky.social doi.org/10.1109/TAFF...
