Ask secretary Eva Potters to be added to the FSW - Cogpsy mailing list.
To add the associated calendar: in Outlook (doesn't work on the web version, unfortunately), click 'add shared calendar' and search for FSW - Cogpsy. Avoid the 'FSW - Cognitive psychology lab 2020', it's not in use. If you only see events as 'busy' or 'free' (without content), you can request access via this link after logging in with your UCLN account. Update: I haven't gotten this to work so far, let me know if you manage.
The MS Teams group has a good wiki with a lot of department-related information. Make sure to check it out!
Ask Anne to add you to
- lab Teams channel
- lab calendar (Google calendar)
- Cognitive Psychology colloquia are held at 16.00 on Thursdays. Email Julia Folz if you're interested in receiving weekly invitations.
- We meet once a month with a smaller group interested in computational modelling. Email Selin Topel to get on the mailing list.
- The lab meets weekly; see lab calendar for times.
- I intend to have weekly meetings with PhD students and postdocs; for Master students, see the guidelines on BrightSpace.
- lecture hall somewhere in the university: email the ServiceDesk of every faculty separately (there is no uni-wide system).
- nice workshop space: Lorentz Center. When there are no workshops, Leiden Uni staff can make use of the space.
- common room in PdlC building: in Outlook web calendar, simply create an event and select 'Psychology Common Room' as the location.
- Olthoff room (CogPsy) for up to 8 ppl: there is a paper calendar at the secretariat.
I normally go to the Dutch NVP (more cognitive) or DNM (more neuro) meetings in person, and to the virtual NeuroMatch conferences. Depending on your career stage and interests, you can consider attending FENS, SfN, ECVP, ASSC, CCN.
I strongly encourage students and postdocs to attend at least one summer school. Neuromatch Academy is fantastic, as is the in-person Rauischolzhausen vision science one.
Feel free to explore meetings and conferences, and discuss where you'd like to go!
Once you get a university laptop (talk to Anne before ordering it, to make sure we get you something useful) request it to switch to 'semi-managed'. Without doing this, you won't be able to install much software. Ask Anne how to best do this.
