Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It’s early days and I’m terrified that I’m about to capsize most of the time, but a reminder that you’re never too old to learn something new 1270
Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Racing in the spring sunshine very much how it should be done 000
Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 17/02/2026New MemLab publication led by Will Duckett finds that only trial-by-trial measures reveal links between subjectively experienced vividness and objective memory accuracy in younger and older adults, and people with aphantasia www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 0195
Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 21/10/2025Vivid memories are all over the BBC website front page! It takes just a few minutes to complete our public survey: cambridge.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... 0199
Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 13/04/2025A clean sweep across all 6 races. Well done all at @cambridgeuni.bsky.social boat club! 000
Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 27/03/2025If you’ve ever read @ianleslie.bsky.social’s wonderful “64 Reasons to Celebrate Paul McCartney”, you’ll know why I was so excited to receive his new book today. Can’t wait to read it! www.ian-leslie.com/p/64-reasons... 042

Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Accidentally getting quite into restoring my dad's vintage record player. Not sure there is a more middle-aged pastime, but when the weather's so foul outside it's actually very satisfying. 2362
Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 01/01/2025Starting the year as I hope/mean to go on. Hungover 🐕 walk followed by 10k 🚣♀️. Sign up to Doddie Aid and raise money for MND research! doddieaid.com 050

Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 07/12/2024When your fancy dress rowing race is cancelled due to Storm Darragh, there’s only one thing to do 170
Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 21/11/2024I'm a simple soul. All I really want from life is no marking and a nice long walk with the dog. 0100
Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Always handy after a few lunchtime beers to have a designated driver to get you home safely 040
Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 21/11/2024One of the many upsides of Bluesky over other platforms, it seems to me, is the significantly higher proportion of people posting pictures of dogs. So good for the soul. Here's Bessie the first time we met her and immediately fell in love. 290
Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 17/11/2024And this, ladies and gentlemen, is Bessie - who makes every day a Bluesky day 1260
Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 17/11/2024This Bluesky day was taken in April 2020, the first month of lockdown, when the sun shone and with no traffic anywhere, the air seemed clearer than I can ever remember it. 0110
Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Welcome to new followers - hope every day is a Bluesky day for you here. To start you off, here’s a country lane nearby 1110

Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 09/11/2024First race back for months after injuries and Covid. Loved being back in the boat! 040

Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 27/09/2024Last night, lucky enough to hear from a legend about a lifetime of searching for engrams 0101
Jon Simons @jonsimons.bsky.social · 10/03/2024Great to see old friend and NYT bestselling author @charan-neuro.bsky.social during a flying visit to the UK. Catch him on BBC Radio 4 Start the Week tomorrow morning, and buy his book! 070
