Recently finished On Writing Well by William Zinsser, and it’s changed the way I approach writing - particularly for my PhD thesis and papers. A reminder that clarity and concision are key in scientific writing. Highly recommended!

This #book has changed the way I see #TheoreticalNeuroscience. It's a beautiful journey on the recent history of the field - highlighting key figures and sharing memorable anecdotes along the way. Thanks @neurograce.bsky.social! #ComputationalNeuroscience #Modelsofthemind

Interesting review of the #neurobiology of #overeating and its links with #addiction. Not only the disruption of the dopaminergic system but also: "[...]dessert is a customary part of a meal, and people may eat it out of habit or tradition, regardless of hunger." doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

Science communication is more necessary than ever! The current constraints on biomedical research should be known by the general public. Great discussion from @eara.eu and @tvvde.bsky.social in #NWG2025 #AnimalResearch
