I study motor control, mostly of balance and walking. Particularly interested in the effect of our environment and psychological state on how we control movement. (I'm terming this "psychoneuromechanics" for now). Senior Lecturer at Cardiff University

To find out about how #TMS #BrainStim users collect, analyse & share their data, we've made a very brief TMS survey:

It should take you less than 5 minutes & does not ask for any personal information.

We'll use the answers to plan our future work.

Please share!

*Where all other things aren't equal, e.g., employees tied to the company for location reasons, then does this 'voluntary' process become discriminatory? Employees with needs for flexible working / tied to location for caring responsibilities, etc, less likely to 'volunteer' to leave? [5/5]
jendavies.bsky.social
Jen Davies @jendavies.bsky.social · Apr 25
Employees who are less confident that they will find employment elsewhere, will be more likely to stay. As a consequence, it is the most talented employees with the strongest track record who will be most likely to leave the company? I can't understand the strategy. [4/5]

Jen Davies @jendavies.bsky.social · Apr 25
Surely the obvious scenario is that, where all other things are equal*, those employees who are more confident that they will find employment elsewhere will leave the company, take the payment thank you very much, and seek alternative employment [3/5]

It then offers a financial reward to anyone who 'volunteers' to leave the company, but this decision must be made in 1 month (i.e., before anyone knows if they are one of the 20 who is losing their job or not) [2/5]

Let's imagine a company tells 100 employees that in 2 months time, 20 of them will be fired and gives no indication of how the decision will be made as to which 20 individuals this will be. [1/5]

That's so easy to see when you're on this side of the process. And so hard to see when you receive one of these 'not this time' emails. Which we all do... so I'll have to try and remember this for next time it's me getting one of them.

There are some very impressive students out there. I have hated writing the 'sorry it wasn't you this time' emails. It really really was a highly competitive process... I'm not just saying that!! So very hard to pick between applicants.

Cardiff University run paid summer on-campus internships for students, which is a great initiative. I advertised a research internship for this year and received 27 applications. In all honesty, I would have been very happy to give it to any one of at least 25 of these students.
