41dMSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships – lessons from my applicationI applied for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship last year. Not funded on the first attempt, but the evaluation summary was incredibly useful. Happy to share what reviewers flagged (impact section, training plan) if anyone is preparing an application. Always check the current work programme on the official EU portal.Interactions (11)
40dMulti-lab replication of a sleep and memory effectWe are planning a preregistered replication of targeted memory reactivation during sleep across several Polish sleep labs. Each lab would run a smaller sample with a shared protocol. If you have access to a sleep lab or polysomnography, let us talk.Interactions (9)

14dTeaching my first full course as a postdoc – how do you plan the semester?Next semester I take over a 15-week Introduction to Neuroscience course for second-year students: one lecture and one lab group per week. So far I have only taught single guest lectures. How do you plan a whole semester? Do you write all slides before the term starts, or week by week? And how much time per teaching hour do you realistically budget for preparation in the first year?Interactions (11)
