Not many moments have felt like big steps in my kids’ generally gradual development, but this is one. Last ever bottle of Calpol (paracetamol = acetaminophen) going into recycling now youngest can swallow tablets Along with quivers of syringes, an ever present from infancy in all parents lives!😆

Is it too early to award the ‘Scientific Figure of the Year’ award? Even if it is I doubt this ‘Your brain on football’ Figure will be beaten!

…erm, & why not fund NHS addiction services to do this treatment where there’s real expertise & no profits made What does 3rd sector mean here? Private? Charity?! Treating addictions needs skill, experience & persistence that the NHS had lots of until Tories systematically decimated services

…and at the end of the 2nd day of this conference Gareth Owen gave Quinton a run for his money for the most cerebral and broad polymath in clinical neurosciences with his inaugural Prof lecture on ‘Psychiatry & Human Nature: Classic & Romantic Perspectives’ - topic of his book out this Spring!👏 👏

Many other superb talks but I particularly liked mathematician Nathan Kutz’s - taking very broad & insightful view of big data in neuroscience using Shallow Recurrent Decoders V. impressive stuff I could only just follow - even with his exceptionally clear explanations..stuff to read more on!

My favourite bit (which was quite possibly ‘peak Quinton’ - if you know Quinton you’ll know what I mean!) was him walking us through his collaboration with Ancient Historians investigating sensory processing with a study of VR experiences of visiting the oracle of Zeus at Dodona in 465 BC😆

Was at some amazing events last week; the type you feel privileged are part of your job & you’d pay to be at/part of The @royalsociety.bsky.social meeting on FND had many highlights but this Quinton Deeley talk on hypnosis & FND was thumping academic tour of neuroscience, philosophy & humanities👌
