Last week my university @UGent approved non-competitive research financing for all professors. The idea is that each professor (all ranks) would receive a yearly amount of research funding of ca. 30.000 euro (so two professors can jointly hire one PhD student). 1/2

Foreign PhD students in Italy are under increasing strain. In addition to getting a very low stipend (around 1200 euros a month, with which they can barely survive in a big city), now they must pay 700 euros per year for health insurance, up from 150 of last year. This is insane!

Science Twitter lost its shit about the failings of peer review at Frontiers, but there will be zero consequences for @nature or its publishing model that its peer reviewers let AllofUsResearch publish these misleading and dangerously race reifying illustrations.

From Tetris to Zelda, to Elden Ring and League of Legends, our new preprint with Valérian Chambon delves into the diversity of video games and gamers' preferences 🎮. We present a cognitive framework for understanding this diversity. Paper and more at the end of this thread ⬇️

Excited to share my first paper from Inagaki Lab Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience! How does the “timer” in our brain control movement? We discovered specialized computational roles of the frontal cortex and striatum that implement such an action timer⏱️ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

One of the most influential books I ever read. Also a key motivating force in getting me to return to science from unemployment.

I’m sad #cosyne2025 doesn’t allow virtual presentation. Decided not to attend today due to the recent US border uncertainty. I had to withdraw my poster as the only replacing presenter I could find is presenting a poster in a different session, which is not allowed somehow…

Chinese researchers with an expired US visa stamp can use the “automatic revalidation” policy to return to the US. However, given the recent uncertainties, people like me who are about to graduate/start new positions are worried that they could be banned from entering the border
