Very impressed with @didacvp.bsky.social's work in @natcomms.nature.com, the most thorough mapping of longitudinal memory-atrophy relationships in normal aging, showing both global and memory-specific associations, which grow stronger with age. Early accsess here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

💼 💔 Academia’s toxic love language is playing “hard to get”
🧪 💓 Science is the beautiful pursuit of building knowledge

I wrote an essay for Nature Human Behaviour on treating academia as “just a job” www.nature.com/articles/s41...

What ideas would you add? 💡

Ihr Gehirn ist erst mit 32 erwachsen?: Was Ihnen bisher keiner über die virale Studie gesagt hat
Eine neue Studie behauptet, unser Gehirn sei bis in die frühen Dreißiger nicht erwachsen, sondern jugendlich. Ganz so einfach ist es aber nicht. Zeit, das zu überprüfen.

Do you have an open working memory dataset and want it to be findable and reused? You can now add it to the Open WM Data Hub: williamngiam.github.io/OpenWMData! The collection of datasets tagged with useful metadata is steadily growing thanks to a small team of volunteers!
