New preprint alert! Are you interested in measuring brain synchrony? We wrote a primer for you that explains the signal processing basics, and their substantial pitfalls. And I promise it's no math (but check out the supplement if that's your thing!) but massive content! osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧠🧠

Sometimes academia wears me down. The uncertainties, the feeling of „never enough“, the wish for a permanent contract. And then there‘s mornings like today, with to two wonderful mails, one from a possible collaborator and one from a brilliant student. That’s when you want to hold on. #ichbinhanna

Sitting on my balcony, I thought I’d finally enjoy summer—but I can’t, not really. Academia means having friends and colleagues across the globe, and my thoughts are now with those in and from Israel and Iran.

Dear bsky, I have been wondering what good resources are out there on project management in science. Where things are often hard to estimate given that we are pushing the boundaries of knowledge but money and contract time are fixed. If you have good courses, papers, podcasts, plz share & repost 🙏

Reading on complexity theory, I am having this thought: maybe the real benefit of transdisciplinary research is not bringing diverse ideas to the table. Maybe it is getting your methods questioned much more than they would have gotten in your original field of training…
