Disheartening to see that many responses from the community about job cuts at a nearby university were along the lines of “about time”. Academics and scientists need to better communicate the benefits of our work for the broader community! How can we best do this? @Macquarie_Uni

Does your group use Matlab or R? I created an online training spreadsheet for my lab with links to training. Matlab training is primarily focused on EEG/ERP/ssVEP. R is more general. Feel free to use this & add other online training (free) in the comments! docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
