Long ago, I used to run at the track with a 75-year old Japanese ultramarathoner, Sus, who had been in an internment camp in WW2. I just found the tips he gave me, that I wrote down 11 years ago! 1. Don't over-think situations by worrying that all the available options have…

As part of his PhD @jsamelink has studied the genetics of functional connections within the brain's language network biorxiv.org/content/10.110… using data from nearly 30,000 people from @uk_biobank and finding genetic links with dyslexia and left-handedness 🤚🧠🧬⬇️

Another great study by @ClydeFrancks, led by @jsamelink, on the genetic contributions to language network connectivity, examining both common & rare genetic variants, revealing links to language-related traits and hemispheric dominance for hand preference biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to announce that my first PhD chapter is out as a preprint! 🎉We found 14 common variant loci and 7 rare variant genes associated with the functional brain language network and genetic links with dyslexia, language-related ability and left-handedness 🧠🗣️🧬

A bunch of @StokesNeuro's trainees (from many points in time) put together a list of '10 simple rules for a supportive lab environment', inspired by the example he set. This has been a wonderful moment of reflection for me personally, as I start my own lab direct.mit.edu/jocn/article/d…

As a university @UniLeiden we must set a more ambitious example in the #climatecrisis We must lead by example: decrease CO2 emissions, stop relying on offsets, take a hard look at academic @flyingless Our article in Mare mareonline.nl/en/news/why-sc…
