🧠 Sex is often treated as a binary in #neuroscience, #psychology & #psychiatry, but this oversimplifies the realities of sex & gender - their impact on the brain. Our guidelines provide recommendations for rethinking how sex & gender are analysed. Webinar on this topic coming soon! 📖 loom.ly/VqIa8zw

First father-daughter half marathon ✅ 🏃🏃‍♀️ Spent this last Sunday running around the muddy & icy hills and fields of Winchester and I loved *almost* every minute. This was technically my new year's resolution for 2024...but this counts, right?
This photo captures two people standing outside an open van taking a selfie.  On the left, is a white middle-aged man, in a beanie and wearing glasses. On the right, with his arm wrapped round, is his white, brown haired, daughter who is holding up a medal. Both are bundled up in warm jackets and hats, smiling proudly up at the camera...looking pretty good for a couple people who were completely exhausted!

And that's a wrap on my first human study! ✅ I am so grateful for these three, absolute dream team! We've been spending the last few weeks attempting to stress humans out, and seeing how it looks on our thermal camera 📸Verrry curious to see the results, but for now, we celebrate! 🍻
A group of four friends, Matthew, Perrine, Amelie, and Marianne, sitting at a table in a colorful, eclectic bar. From left to right: Matthew, a young man with wavy brown hair wearing a blue hoodie, looks relaxed with a slight smile. Next to him, Perrine, a woman with glasses and a dark blue hoodie is smiling. Amelie, with shoulder-length blonde hair and a striped sweater, rests her face on her hand, giving a soft, casual smile. On the far right, Marianne, with dark hair tied back and wearing a black outfit with a colorful scarf, smiles,  with her arms resting on the table. The background features string lights, posters, and quirky decorations, creating a vibrant and cozy atmosphere
