The responsibility of a scientist goes way beyond checking that your citations are real. It demands that you care about the value and integrity of our collective product. And it is telling that the loudest people demanding we care about citations have done nothing to deal with the deep and chronic issues that plague publishing.

Very excited to announce that my textbook on “Working Memory” is now available for pre-order!

A few thoughts

Graduate students increasingly use artificial-intelligence tools to draft, code and search — but many fear it could erode the very skills a doctorate is meant to build

It's been a couple of years now since I finished my PhD... and looking back, honestly most of the things I learned had little to do with neuroscience.
I list a few of them in my latest blog post celefthe.com/blog/2026/a-phd…
which, much like my PhD, took way too long to write up
What is sample size in neuroscience? And what happens when we get it wrong? Our article in @MolecularAutism explores the prevalence of pseudoreplication, a form of statistical error which occurs when we get this wrong, in the FXS and NDD literature. edin.ac/3ZYkpdI 🧵
Pseudoreplication is not inevitable. Statistical tools such as linear mixed models allow us to take within- and between-animal variability into account. Hierarchical bootstraps are also another option (and a personal favourite!)
Finally, many thanks to @laschenk @_TheTransmitter for the interview and writeup; it was a blast :)

A statistical error known as pseudoreplication appears in more than half of recent mouse studies on neurological disorders, according to a new study. Peter Kind and Constantino Elfetheriou tell Lauren Schenkman why researchers should pay attention.

A PhD position is open in my lab for those interested in studying the neuronal basis of visual perception - utilising virtual reality for mice, optogenetics, and in vivo imaging methods. See the following link for further information: findaphd.com/phds/project/as…

Where our tactics were wrong is that they were better than us and better than anyone else throughout the tournament.

Jim Simons (1938–2024) was driven by curiosity. His lifelong passion for math and basic science led him to successful careers as a mathematician, investor and philanthropist. Read more about Jim’s life and work: simonsfoundation.org/2024/05…

Today, we announced several exciting updates to our Phase 1/2 trial of NGN-401 in female pediatric patients with Rett syndrome, which are designed to expand the trial, accelerate enrollment, and inform potential future registrational studies: bit.ly/4bXffmx
