YNiC Method Discussions & Growing Up in Science — seeking your input
by Kenji Kobayashi 26 Aug '25

26 Aug '25

Hi All, We are excited to announce that, in addition to the research seminar, YNiC is going to host two kinds of events this year: *Neuroimaging Methods Discussion* and *Growing Up in Science*! We hope these will provide more opportunities to share your interests in neuroimaging with the YNiC user community. We are now seeking for your inputs so that we can organize them according to your preferences. Details below. *1. Neuroimaging Methods Discussion* We know that many in our community enjoy workshops and talks on neuroimaging methods. At the same time, we recognize that the needs and interests of our community are quite diverse. Therefore, we will host events focusing on the topics of *your choice*! Here’s how it works: if there is any topic you would like to learn about, discuss with others, or introduce to the community, let us know. We will work with you to organize a session, which could be led by you, or you and other YNiC researchers, with the support of YNiC staff. The topic can be as introductory or as advanced as you like, and your session could take the form of a hands-on workshop, a presentation or demo, a panel discussion, or a combination of these. If you would like, YNiC staff and I (Kenji) will be happy to support your preparation (e.g., literature review, software). We plan to host several sessions throughout the year with a flexible schedule. To make sure our sessions reflect your interests, please tell us what kind of events you would like to attend, and — more importantly — what kind you are interested in leading, by filling out this survey <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdTexCM5IYIIjQ2B8IdGz2HZmiKvcSrw3k…> or sending me an e-mail directory. (Your needs and interests may change over time, so feel free to let us know anytime, as often as you’d like.) If you are a supervisor of early career researchers, please consider encouraging them to lead a session; it will be a valuable technical and professional development opportunity. *2. Growing Up in Science* As some of you may be know, *Growing Up in Science <http://growingupinscience.web.app/>* is a conversation series that explores what it is like to have a career in science, originally started at NYU and held worldwide for over a decade. In these events, speakers share their personal stories — not just their successes, but rather their struggles, setbacks, and detours in their journey. This year, we would like to host a few *Growing Up in Science* events at YNiC, hearing directly from diverse members of our own cognitive neuroscience community. To help us organize these sessions, please let us know who you would like to hear from by filling out this anonymous survey <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScN1-V1BNwYr25EM0c-CnuHMrdofHd2dqM…> or sending me an email directory (self-recommendations are strongly encouraged!). Your input will help us invite and encourage speakers to volunteer, so please share your suggestions! Thank you for reading — and for your input in advance! Best, Kenji -- Kenji Kobayashi, Ph.D. Lecturer Department of Psychology University of York

Hello, There will be limited YNIC support over the next couple of weeks due to staff annual leave. We will reply to support tickets and requests as soon as possible - if you require Level 3 signatures, please ask for these with plenty of notice to avoid delays/disruptions to your scanning. *MSc Class of 2025* To all those finishing up your projects, thank you for all your hard work this year. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we wish you all the very best for whatever is next! *YNiC User Inductions* If you are aware of any new students/staff that will require access to YNiC and/or an IT account, they must attend a YNiC user induction. Our next induction will be on *Tuesday the 2nd of September, at 10:00am*. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up. *Door Fobs* If you have a YNiC door fob that you no longer need, we would really appreciate you handing this back for us to re-use. You can bring them to YNiC (post in the silver letter box next to reception if nobody is around) or hand them into reception at Psychology. Have a great week!
