Thanks Dr Deborah Talmi @dtalmi.bsky.social @campsydept.bsky.social for such an interesting talk on Bayesian modelling of subjective pain experiences. Nice to see the integration of basic and clinical science. 🧪

My department is moving to a new building. Last day in my soon-to-be -old office, taking a good look at the long windowless corridor, defunct letter boxes, 60s spiral stairwell and the Japanese garden.

An exciting week for @warwickpsych.bsky.social as we move into our new building. A new era for Psychology at University of Warwick!

A productive and energising afternoon at our termly Lifespan Health & Wellbeing Group meeting. Grateful to our @warwickpsych PGR students for their support, and to Jag Jutley-Nielson & Nick Thompson for sharing insights into the STREAM project and participatory research with the autistic community.

Was an absolute pleasure to host Dr. Nick Brown (@steamtraen.eu, Linnaeus University) for a Warwick @reproducibilitea.org workshop! We were introduced to the topic of statistical errors/fraud in scientific research, and shown how to check whether the statistics in a scientific paper "add up" 🧐
