Is your red the same as my red? 🟥 Is your blue the same as my blue?? 🟦 Is colour even real at all??? Well... yes and no. But kinda mostly no 😅 Find the answers to all this and more in my latest #BeckyandtheBrain vid on #colour perception! youtu.be/dIzz_C2WaFg
Was lovely to do this interview with @WomeninNeuroUK 🥰 Hopefully some useful tips on engaging with #scicomm but the main one is... just do it!! You are an expert (whether you believe it or not 😉) so get out there and get talking!
🧠 Want to boost your CV with public engagement but not sure where to start? @beccasue99 shares how she got into SciComm during her PhD - and why it’s been career-changing. 📣 New #BridgingTheGap interview 👉 womeninneuroscienceuk.org/post/bridging-… #SciComm #PhDLife #WomenInSTEM
Next up on #BeckyandtheBrain - are you sitting comfortably? Because its time for a science-y story to round off the week 😄 Kicking off with the countess who changed #computing - the one and only Ada Lovelace 💻 youtu.be/9dk--ttrN2c
Fantastic start to Cambridge Imaging festival as @AlexWoolgar absolutely got our attention 🧐 discussing the power of combining neuroimaging and stimulation approaches 🧠⚡in researching... well... attention...
We've all been there - regardless of reviewer number (or even if it ain't a reviewer at all!) feedback can sting when we put so much ourselves into our work 🤕 IMO not taking it personally is only part of the story...
Self-worth shaken by reviewer two? You’re not alone. Rebecca Williams @beccasue99 explores rejection, reaction, and the road to resilience. dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/blog-self-wort…
