I am excited that my first first-authorship paper with @arnovillri is out at PNAS. We found that stimulus timing along the cardiac cycle and fluctuations of heartbeat-evoked potentials shape somatosensory perception and evoked potentials differentially. Check out here:

Today, one year after the devastating earthquakes in #Turkey and #Syria, members of the Max Planck Society are proud to introduce MAXMINDS, a mentoring initiative aimed at empowering university students affected by the disaster: bit.ly/42wW4LS @maxplanckpress

December 5th, 2023, marked a defining moment for me as I defended my dissertation at McGill University's School of Architecture. The rush of emotions—happiness, pride, relief, and a touch of hüzün—still echoes within me. Thanks to everyone who supported me along the way.

A new study reveals the heartbeat's pivotal role in brain activity. Discoveries show heightened brain excitability during the heart's systolic phase, opening doors for enhanced treatments in depression and stroke recovery. neurosciencenews.com/heartbeat-brai… 1/2

Two weeks ago today I went for a morning run and came back to a different life. Since then we have been working 24/7 to help the Nova Rave survivors. This is what I do all day. At night I dream about their stories. In face of all the cruelty, we need to strive towards peace.

Cardiac #interoception studies using animal models are making advances in our understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of heart-brain communication. Here’s my recent editorial summarizing some of these developments: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hxmt,siTgh0…

@HaimHabulai @Nancy_Kanwisher I would be honored to work with Nancy! She is an admirable scientist with significant contributions in the field. Her posts show me that she is not just a great scientist but also a decent and caring human being. Who are you to question her credibility?

@Nancy_Kanwisher Are you the best person to advertise a job? Given what you have been posting over the last few days, quite a few qualified women and men will think twice before applying to a place that has you in a decision making position.

Peace will come as more people like İyad speak out. Every life, no matter where they're born, is valuable. We have to advocate for peace together.

I also want to say that I hold Jewish life to be as sacred as Palestinian life. This is a truth for which I live and for which I'll die if necessary. This isn't a slogan, it's an article of faith that I believe as deeply and passionately as I believe that there is no god but God.

My heart aches for the families who have lost their loved ones in Israel. I'm deeply troubled by the extent of the damage caused by the Israel army in Gaza. I can't bear to watch the suffering. So many innocent lives lost, and the world feels meaningless and empty. #StopTheWar

"I'm not crying for my parents - I am crying for those who will lose their lives in this war. We must stop the war." Powerful testimony from @maozinon on @BBCNews - just days after his parents, Bilha and Yakov, were killed by Hamas.

are you "pro life"? no, you're not. you're pro-cruelty and anti-science, anti-medicine, amoral. read this. being anti-abortion is not being "pro-life". it is proudly, disturbingly announcing that you believe women aren't actually people. #istandwithplannedparenthood

"One woman could barely get words out through her tears. Another ran to the restroom as soon as she was done, wordless, wretched sobs wracking her tiny body. A third threw up on the witness stand." One year since the fall of Roe, women are suffering because of abortion bans.  texastribune.org/2023/07/19/tex…

I don’t usually tweet about politics, but I’ve found the news from Italy - that lesbian mothers are being retroactively removed from birth certificates - devastating. And I feel profoundly grateful to be in a country that recognises my parenthood 🇬🇧 🏳️‍🌈 reuters.com/world/europe/i…
