Please share! I will soon advertise a postdoctoral position in my Gut–Brain Interactions Lab at DIfE (Berlin–Potsdam), starting March–June 2027. I’m looking for candidates with expertise in human electrophysiology, ideally multimodal EEG–fMRI. Feel free to contact me informally if interested!

Sensing your body (‘Interoception’) is everywhere in theories of mental health. But when we tested how well hundreds of people sensed their heart and lungs, the link to symptoms was almost nowhere to be found. 💣 🚨New @natmentalhealth.nature.com paper 🚨🎉 asks why 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Yes there are nice points raised here but am I the only one getting tired of the ratio of pieces giving advice on how academic moms can carry the workload versus pieces on how institutions/funders/collaborators etc can make the workload more bearable? 🤷🏼‍♀️
