Dr Laras Yuniarto

Inspired to get creative with my poster for @ictmc2024 this week! I shared my work on bayesian generalised linear mixed models to optimise treatment dosage in early phase trials using Patient-reported Outcomes. #ICTMC2024 #clinicaltrials

Marie Curie did not have to fit 9 deliverabkes, 17 milestones and 44 tasks in a 24 months gantt chart as we, who got the grant in her name, have to do

Prof Stephen Reicher, "I would appeal to you to not call these people protestors. They're not protestors" "To call them protestors is profoundly misleading. It is to discredit a long tradition of perfectly legitimate and peaceful and important protest that has made our society better in many ways" "What's going on is specific to these crowds.. Crowd psychology is there when people are cleaning up the streets as well as attacking the streets.. The difference is one group has an ideology of hate and violence, another has a vision of community and solidarity" "Most people are pro immigration.. The irony is that over recent years attitudes towards immigration has become more positive.. People see immigrants as a boom rather than as a menace to the country.. Britain is one of the more liberal countries" "If we didn't have migrants then our care service would fall apart, our NHS would fall apart.. It's important not to highlight the negative exceptions, but to show that most people are pro migrants"

Feeling a bit smug in Scotland than we’ve not had race riots? Just have a look under pretty much any tweet from Humza Yousaf and stop feeling smug. We have a big problem with racism and Islamophobia in Scotland and it’s foolish and counterproductive to ignore that.

🚨NATIONAL DAY OF PROTEST TO STOP THE FAR RIGHT 📢This Saturday, we’re calling for mass anti racist resistance in every town and city to push back the fascists 👉If there’s a far right demo in your area, call the counter. If not, call a protest to say they’re never welcome

Dusting off the ol' Twitter/X to announce that I've now joined @HWPsych as an Assistant Professor in Psychology! It's been a great 10 (!) years at @st_psy but I am hugely excited to get to know the brilliant team and students at Heriot-Watt 😊

@RMalassis @AmandaMSeed Congratulations to you both on a very cool paper! So exciting to see cross-species and cross-age group work on implicit/explicit learning 😃

New paper out with @AmandaMSeed! We used a sequence completion task to probe implicit & explicit learning. Nice predicted results in human adults, nice intriguing results in children & capuchin monkeys! authors.elsevier.com/a/1haGX3lcz45E…

@courtneyaitkenx @HWPsych @st_psy Thank you Courtney! ☺️

@lllaras @HWPsych @st_psy Congratulations! All the best for the new role 🙏
