So pleased this lockdown project is now out in @TrendsCognSci! With @iris_groen, @TesDekker & @Tknapen we review evidence for visuospatial coding throughout the brain. We argue that visuospatial coding comes in two main forms: retinotopic maps and visual field biases 1/5

Like many others, colleagues and I provided extensive feedback to ofqual on behalf of @RoyalSocBio Education & Science Policy Committee. Much of the feedback clearly pointed out problems that have now materialised.
Did anyone at ofqual listen? Apparently not.

“As a nurse, I encounter structural racism every day" Donna Kinnair on #bbcqt.
Her full title is Professor Dame Donna Kinnair, but this was missed out of her name tag.
Hugh Pennington’s title - Professor - was not missed out.
