Great @ebbsociety.bsky.social and @eurbehavpharm.bsky.social event this morning at #fens2026. Thanks to four fantastic speakers for engaging a full room so early in the forum. Remember to look out for EBBS meeting details for Dublin2027 and EBPS for Cork2027

#fens2026 Come join us at the EBBS/EBPS event on Monday on the importance of behaviour to neuroscience. Or @ebbsociety.bsky.social lecture by @charan-neuro.bsky.social on Tuesday. Or join the symposium ‘memory in context’ on Tuesday where I’ll argue context is reconstructed at recall

15 years ago I met Simon James through a @durhamias.bsky.social project. Over time these conversations led to a project that changed my thinking about memory in all sorts of positive ways. Simon was a HUGE part of that. He provided intellectual input, but also warmth, generosity, and humour.
