The study was a replication and extension of Cacchione et al 2011. They discovered that babies prefer Picasso to Monet. We decided to double check this and use a neural net style transfer to create a Monet-style Picassos and Picasso style Monets.

It's my last day at @GoldsmithsUoL 😔
Very pleased it included two babies visiting the @InfantLab to take part in an MSc project about baby art appreciation. 😍
Thanks to Nell it being such a cheerful little infant scientist. Thanks to Nazli for being a great research student

Did you know that we have babies to thank for our big brains and our long lives? They helped in the birth of art and science and they know the most important secrets of happiness.
This short video explains it all.

Had a fanastic conversation about Baby Psychology with Dr Nick Fortino for his "Psychology Is" podcast. It was great to be able to talk at length and in depth about the serious science of laughing babies. Nick is a great interviewer.

My standard response when I'm invited to editorial boards without recompense. I don't think working for free as a highly trained professional is or should be normal, & I think we need to continue to call this out clearly. The more of us do, the more likely things will change. 1/2

Not news but sometimes it hits between the eyes. As I walked today, if I wanted I could: get a coffee, buy groceries, alcohol or a new dog lead, get someone else to do my laundry, have a suit tailored or gamble...But not have my child go to school full-time #priorities
