It was a real privilege to attend the Academy of Medical Sciences’ Helix Reception. It was also inspiring to meet others who have been empowered by the Academy’s work, and a special honour to meet Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal as we celebrated the impact of this amazing community.

Pregnancy involves dramatic changes in the body and mind, but we know little about how the self changes, or the cognitive processes underlying this changing self. Check out my new preprint with @rebeccanineill.bsky.social and Sharna Jamadar where we aim to find out: osf.io/preprints/psya… A 🧵

Our project on ghrelin and anhedonia has been making excellent progress thanks to the hard work of @corcerebrum.bsky.social and the entire project team. I am positive that we will wrap up two preprints until the end of the year. #neuroscience #interoception

#HiSciSky #AcademicSky I'm a #DevCogNeuro interested in bodyrepresentations, multisensory development and #interoception. I focus a lot of my research on infancy and toddlerhood. Bear with me while I try and figure out how to navigate this new space :) #PsychSciSky #CogSci #neuroskyence #DevPsy
