Our new book's out! The Psychology of the Pararnormal (co-authored with David Groome and Michael Eysenck) explores some common beliefs regarding experiences so strange they can defy obvious scientific explanations 👻🛸👽✨ More info here: bit.ly/2Chavck @Routledgepsych

Bombshell: Oliver Sacks (a humane man & a fine essayist) made up many of the details in his famous case studies, deluding neuroscientists, psychologists, & general readers for decades. The man who mistook his wife for a hat? The autistic twins who generated multi-digit prime numbers? The institutionalized, paralyzed man who tapped out allusions to Rilke? Made up to embellish the stories. Probably also: the aphasic patients who detected lies better than neurologically intact people, including Ronald Reagan's insincerity. newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

@cybergamepsych Congratulations, George!

Passed my progression viva today! I'm officially a Doctoral Researcher, rather than MPhil/PhD ;)

Nearly half of adolescent males with cannabis-induced psychosis develop a schizophrenia spectrum disorder within 3 years. 🧵1/9

@Neuro_Skeptic Tested it. Can confirm they're separate sensations and it was a regrettable experience.

If someone has anosmia (impaired smell and flavor sensation) e.g. from Covid... can they eat hot spicy food without flinching? Or is chili 'hotness' a different sensation?

@westwoodsam1 Consider a trigger warning on images like this. Appalling scenes 😩

Someone bought skimmed milk for the office, surely this is a sackable offence?

Ah, 24-year-old healthy case study participant, 'RL'... wonder where he is now 🤔

@JyotiSharma20 @UniWestminster Glad you enjoyed the seminar, Jyoti!☺

Good morning! Watching the sunrise over the Peak District 🌅😍 #peakdistrict #sunrise #mamtorsummit

@dibyeshanand So so sorry to hear this, Dibyesh. Your father sounds like a great man. Thinking of you and your family!

My dad is no more. He kept saying “your mother is calling me” & left us today. Rather then see him as a victim of post Covid complications - he did become free of Covid before the end - he will be remembered as a fighter. His optimism is legendary amongst his wide community

@stevemthompson Thanks Steve! Yeah, really creepy stuff especially while they're so vulnerable to covid. But they're doing OK today!

@RcoLaw That’s horrible mate - hope everyone is okay 🙏

I, and I suspect many of my biology people, find this very triggering 😬 twitter.com/MarkSmedley15/…

@BurgessAbi Scandalous how many puppies go uncredited for their PhD input

@lkanlic That is amazing, Lejla! Congratulations!
