In my neuroscience lecture, I said ‘white chattermax’ instead of ‘white matter tracts’. I am now experiencing the consequences of too much Bluey.

Tomorrow night my children go away for a few days. Friday morning I deliver a lecture and then…

Clinically, we look at this as Extreme Displacement. At 9 years old, a child's cognitive development is advanced enough to understand an infant's fragility. Unprovoked violence of this magnitude usually signifies a child maladaptively reclaiming attention or actively modeling severe environmental trauma. The underlying driver is heavily pathological. It requires immediate safeguarding of the infant and a comprehensive psychiatric workup for the older sibling.

As decreed by my 4yo: Biscoff is now ‘Big socks’ Frisbees are now ‘Whizzbees’ That is all.

This morning: Deliver 2 hour lecture on neurons, action potentials and receptor interactions. This afternoon; *sips on can of Pepsi* Why is nothing coming out? Ah, I should open it first. I am one or the other. There is no in between.

Opening my statistics app like I’m calling a cat… Here spss, spss, spss.

Good to know the various uses of my new steam cleaner.

Don’t mind me. I just finished The Death of Bunny Munro.

One of the giants of social psychology was a serial sexual harasser. This new report reveals how Miles Hewstone touched, bullied, and sexual harassed numerous women during his 18 years at the University of Oxford. It's amazing how often bullying and sexual harassment go together in academia. I know several of the women who were harassed by this guy. They had real courage to testify. This article reveals how he engaged in serious professional retaliation against women (and several were clearly afraid of him). This needs to end. I've seen how many people curry favor with known sexual harassers and how the worst can still manage to leap from job to job. But the truth will always out. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
