📢📢📢 Neuroscientists and psychologists with kids Did your research interests change as a result of (or after) having kids? Would you mind telling me how/why if it has? Appreciate a repost for reach…

New paper alert! In this paper we were interested to formally test some of the assumptions made by computational psychiatrists - assumptions about parameter recoverability, reliability and validity. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Provocative slide about qualitative research in drug development! Looking forward to the discussion on this @bapsych.bsky.social #BAP2026 @mcpinfoundation.bsky.social

Excited to be chairing/presenting at our post-doc symposium discussing the advancements (and challenges 🤫) of computational psychiatry with a ⭐️ line-up of @saramehrhof.bsky.social @yanivabir.bsky.social & Alicia Rybicki. If at #BAP2026, come join us today at 2pm ‼️

I was so pleased and proud to watch my 2nd year PhD students, Lisa Woodley + @holmyers.bsky.social present their work at our PGR conference yesterday. Oh, and @lucysta02475610.bsky.social submitted a grant, and @kellydonegan.bsky.social chaired the mental health session. What a day!

I'm always so pleased when it's possible to support talented undergraduates to gain research experience. Congratulations to Arianna Coraggio, who received a @bapsych.bsky.social summer internship to work with me, Dr Hannah Hobson, and Lisa Woodley. cognition-mental-health.github.io/blog/2026/ar...

Welcome Arianna!

Arianna Coraggio has joined the lab as a summer intern.

Possibly the most useless email I’ve ever received?

Paid Undergraduate Research Internship within the Department of Psychology at the University of York, funded by NIHR. An 8-week summer placement is open to undergraduate students in Psychology (or related disciplines) interested in memory research. You can find out more here: shorturl.at/flepx

I'm close to finishing data collection for my PhD- if anyone is York based and would like to take part in an intervention or experiment, please take a look! sites.google.com/york.ac.uk/l... 🧠 @alexandrapike.bsky.social @cejpreston.bsky.social

Kelly said ‘never again’ at the end of this walk. I attribute that to the distance rather than the company - either way, I think she deserves your sponsorship money.

Kelly Donegan@kellydonegan.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Spent my Saturday with a “32km” (more like 36km/7 hour) 1:1 meeting with my supervisor @alexandrapike.bsky.social 🚶‍♀️~ all for a good cause for the Mentally Fit York Fund 🧠 though our physical health was definitely questionned 👣🩹

I'm walking 32km next week (along with @kellydonegan.bsky.social) to raise funds for Mentally Fit York! Just to make it more difficult, my 2 year old will occasionally be providing additional resistance by acting as a weighted backpack. Please sponsor me! universityofyork.enthuse.com/pf/alexandra...

Getting to that point in the PhD where you have results to show is so rewarding- looking forward to talking on this more hopefully! 🙏

So exciting to see @lucysta02475610.bsky.social present the results of her mammoth, multi-year project to develop a questionnaire measuring the Negative Appraisal of Gastric Sensations (NAGS): it differentiates between people with eating disorders and gastric disorders! @yorkpsychology.bsky.social

Excited to say that Hypatia has secured a second round of funding thanks to the @wellcometrust.bsky.social 💫 This milestone allows us to build the technology and team and conduct validation efforts across the UK and Australia to bridge the ecosystems.

TBH the thing that is most sad about the loss of ~2015-2021 era science twitter is the loss of a public square where grad students can see, and participate in, the diversity of expert opinions in the field. It really shaped how I see science.

Excellent thread for grad students to dive into - so much expertise (and diversity of opinion!) in the comments 👇

Hi from North Yorkshire! (Snow days make me feel like a big kid).

This was super fun! Thanks @alexandrapike.bsky.social for proposing and to @chloebrunskill.bsky.social and all speakers and attendees for making this day happen! 🥹

Alex Pike@alexandrapike.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Super pleased that we are doing a @yorkpsychology.bsky.social Postdoc and RA showcase today! Thank you so much to @chloebrunskill.bsky.social and @arimoccia.bsky.social for doing all the hard work and bringing the humorous comics.

The fab @holmyers.bsky.social wrote this wonderful Mental Elf blog on IU through development, and how this relates to anxiety and depression at age 10. Thanks to @nhigsonsweeney.bsky.social - writing for different audiences is such a skill!

The Mental Elf@thementalelf.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Preschoolers who find uncertainty hard to handle may be more prone to anxiety later in life, but it’s not that simple. New research explores how intolerance of uncertainty at age 4 links to anxiety, depression & behaviour problems up to age 10. #ChildMentalHealth #Anxiety #Uncertainty 🧵 THREAD

Read our new paper on qualitative experiences of gastric interoception!

Alex Pike@alexandrapike.bsky.social · 11mo ago

New qualitative paper! A foray into gastric interception. @lucysta02475610.bsky.social ran a LOT of focus groups, across groups with eating disorders, gastric disorders and neither, to understand how people experience the sensations from their GI system. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hello hivemind! I haven't seen one of these in a while but I know that back-in-the-day they were all the rage: does anyone have a funky spreadsheet of MH/psych/neuro-relevant grants/fellowships for ECRs that they wouldn't mind me sharing with my lab?
