It’s Science Week at Birkbeck, University of London 🔭 The first event is TONIGHT and is about how and why we explore the moon 🌙 All our #ScienceWeek events are free and open to all: join us! We ❤️ Science Birkbeck, Faculty of Science Birkbeck School of Psychological Sciences

🧠 Our #ScienceWeek psychology event is today at 6pm! Ben Alderson-Day will tell us about the experience of the “unseen other”. Ben’s book “Presence: The Strange Science and True Stories of the Unseen Other” is one of my favorites of 2023! Few spots left! Birkbeck, University of London

Look who’s visiting today Birkbeck School of Psychological Sciences ! Lovely to catch up with Prof Johannes Zanker Royal Holloway Psychology Birkbeck, University of London Birkbeck, Faculty of Science

The brave man who took this iconic photo, one of the first 3 humans to ever leave Earth orbit and travel to the Moon, died yesterday. Bill Anders, I salute you.

It's lift off for the 9th edition of the ESA/ELGRA Gravity Related Research Summer School 🚀 30 students will learn about gravity related research and engineering for the next 2 weeks 🧑‍🚀 WE ❤️ GRAVITY European Space Agency ESA ELGRA SELGRA Birkbeck, University of London Birkbeck, Faculty of Science

Here Phil Carvil and I with Vladimir Plaster, the “parabolic flight man”: he took part in 90 parabolic flight (aka vomit comet) campaigns and supervised a total of 1000 microgravity experiments ✈️ European Space Agency ESA ELGRA SELGRA Birkbeck, University of London Birkbeck, Faculty of Science

Are you at FENS Forum in Vienna? Come to our NE event tonight on “science in a space environment: neuroscience for human space exploration” organised by European Space Agency! #FENS2024 Birkbeck, University of London

Familiar faces at FENS 2024 in Vienna! Here with Narender Ramnani Prof. Narender Ramnani from Royal Holloway Psychology More vestibular-cerebellum stuff coming up… Birkbeck, University of London Birkbeck, Faculty of Science

Vestibular Neuroscience Lab Birkbeck, University of London

Collecting our final dataset for an incredible vestibular/gravity research project: experiments in a flotation tank! 🌊 So exciting to see the results coming together. Stay tuned! 🚀 Birkbeck, University of London Birkbeck, Faculty of Science Birkbeck School of Psychological Sciences

👀 Did you know that the new UK Government has more Birkbeckians than Etonians? 🎓 Find out more in this blog that reflects on the reach and impact of Birkbeck alumni 👇 ow.ly/Cj0U50SJblf

We are kicking off the #ELGRA2024 conference in Liverpool! 🚀 exciting discussions ahead on space exploration and gravity related research. Stay tuned for our Birkbeck, University of London Vestibular Neuroscince team presentations! 🧠 ELGRA Birkbeck School of Psychological Sciences Birkbeck, Faculty of Science

It’s real! The #ELGRA2924 conference has just begun in Liverpool! Both excited and terrified of to be one of the organisers! 🤞fingers crossed for an amazing event: let’s make it stellar! ELGRA SELGRA Birkbeck, University of London Birkbeck School of Psychological Sciences

#ELGRA2024 isn’t just about gravity, it’s also about catching up with colleagues worldwide 🌍 We ❤️ vestibular system! Here with Laurence Harris (Toronto) and Giovanni Bertolini (Zurich) ELGRA SELGRA Birkbeck School of Psychological Sciences Birkbeck, University of London

We are prisoners of gravity. Gravity generates a constant sensory flow from early foetal life until death. But what can we say about the first human to be born in a non-terrestrial g field? #ELGRA2024 ELGRA SELGRA Birkbeck, University of London Birkbeck School of Psychological Sciences

This is Phil Carvil and I realising that we made it: great #ELGRA2024 conference for the first time in the UK! Thanks to UK Space Agency and UK Research and Innovation for the support. PS: we know how to party ELGRA 🚀 Birkbeck School of Psychological Sciences Birkbeck, University of London Birkbeck, Faculty of Science

amazing week @ #ELGRA2024 with talks in life and physical sciences on microgravity and space exploration. So good to share these moments & dance moves with Maryam Haq Catho Schoenmaekers, Steven Jillings, Laurence Harris and our fab ELGRA VP Elisa R Ferre! Birkbeck School of Psychological Sciences

How does gravity contribute to perceived weight? In my talk at #ELGRA2024, I show how (lateralised) vestibular-gravitacional signals cancel the systematic underestimation of hand weight. A study with Maryam Haq Elisa R Ferre & Matthew Longo Birkbeck School of Psychological Sciences Birkbeck, University of London ELGRA

I'm thrilled to share that I've been elected Vice President of ELGRA! Excited for this new journey and looking forward to contributing to the future of gravity-related research in EU! 🚀 @ELGRA SELGRA Birkbeck, University of London Birkbeck, Faculty of Science Birkbeck School of Psychological Sciences
