What is drawing US-based researchers back to Europe? For this year’s ERC Starting Grant winners, the answer goes beyond funding. Long-term stability, academic freedom and the opportunity to build independent research groups are all part of the appeal. Read more here: buff.ly/Eq6Zw7V

This is fantastic! That's exactly where I'm headed too. As a first step, we're working on a cross-species comparison of evidence accumulation with @valentinwyart.bsky.social and @bbscott.bsky.social

Happy to be back! Europe *is* attractive to researchers. More stable positions would let more of us go after the difficult questions rather than the next low-hanging fruit. So many great projects didn't make it this year — I hope they all find a home! #ChooseEurope

Thrilled to share we've been awarded an ERC Starting Grant! We'll work across mice and humans to ask how the brain decides which evidence to trust. Thank you @erc.europa.eu, the panel, and everyone who helped train me. Hiring from September 2027 — maheulab.org/openings #ERCStG
