I made it to the FameLab North East Regional Final using this video talking about my scientific research! It's tomorrow 13th April at Teesside! I hope it goes well 🙂 I thought I'd share this, since it's an okay non-scientific summary of my research 🙂 youtu.be/duZWazRxRMk?si=rvzI…

This #MLKDay, we're looking back to 1967 when we became the only UK university to award Dr Martin Luther King an honorary degree during his lifetime. Take a look at his passionate and moving acceptance speech, delivered in our very own King's Hall 👇 ncl.ac.uk/congregations/hono…

Martin Luther King Honorary Degree Ceremony

On 13 November 1967, Newcastle University gave Dr Martin Luther King an honorary degree; the only UK university to do so during his lifetime.

A new paper out with @SpringerNature in Animal Cognition! Long in the making, as @jcaread and I worked out how to do ROC memory analyses on coal tits searching for their caches. Coal tits mostly use familiarity, not recollection, when retrieving caches: rdcu.be/dpazS
