This issue has no MathPsych/ICCM  in it, perhaps for the first time.  
The other announcements were timely, so I send it out now.

The bonus is a current update on medical and healthcare in Ukraine. It 
will likely be available recorded

The Cognitive Science Governing Board actively encourages expression of
interest from groups of scholars that wish to Co-Chair the upcoming
CogSci 2024 Meeting.

Get inspired by previous CogSci themes and
help shape the direction of CogSci 2024, by bringing together your
group's specialisation and experience to create a first rate program.

Submissions are welcome from all regions of the globe. There is no
requirement that any of the Co-Chairs live or work near the physical
conference venue. In fact, collaboration among varied institutions and
countries is encouraged.

We welcome proposals from all interested cognitive scientists. We
especially encourage proposals consistent with our diversity, equality,
and inclusion objectives of increasing leadership in cognitive science
among those historically under-represented.

Conference Co-Chairs are responsible for selecting the conference theme,
invited speakers, and invited symposia, as well as the papers and
posters that most conference attendees view as the substance of the
Annual Meeting. For more details on the process, and to submit your
statement of interest, please click on the button below.

The deadline for co-chair proposals is 30 Sep 2022.

After four successful conferences, Neuromatch is pleased to be holding
our fifth. The scope of NMC 2022 includes computational neuroscience and
machine learning work that has a biological link.

We are excited to have a slate of excellent speakers and panelists lined
up including:

Keynotes from Larry Abbott, Rosa Chan, Ida Momennejad, and Mac Shine

Panel on spiking computation: Priya Panda, Katie Schuman,  Peter Suma

Panel on the future of scientific publishing: Tim Behrens, Simine
Vazire, Abeni Wickham

Bridging-the-gap with computational psychiatry: Xiaosi Gu, Quentin Huys

Each of our conferences has led the way in providing new innovations to
the virtual conference space, and this year we are excited to offer you:

  *This year, all talks will be provided with a DOIfor a permanent
    identification of your contribution presented at NMC 2022.

  *The main talks will be hosted on Crowdcast. Instead of posters, we
    offer flash talks(brief pre-recorded videos), and dedicated meet up
    times for discussion within Reddit.

  *A new edition of NMC for kids: a special session of talks for a
    younger audience and the young at heart interested in neuroscience,
    plus a new “Escape Room” experience.

  *Last year, we pioneered a new mechanism to connect talks in the
    conference to corresponding preprints on bioRxiv and medRxiv, and we
    will provide links to preprints on other platforms such as OSF
    preprints as well.

Registration costs are set at 15 USD to cover technical costs, and if
this is a difficulty, the fee can be waived without questions.

Important dates:

  *5 Sep 2022: Abstract submission deadline

  *7 Sep 2022: Abstract acceptance and live talk selection news

  *22 Sep 2022: Video submission deadline for flashtalks

  * 27 – 28 Sep 2022: NMC 2022

Each of the two conference days will have two sessions, each of which is
4 hours long.

The Cognitive Science Society is excited to announce our
latest initiative, the CogSci Mind Challenge. This competition
challenges cognitive scientists to address a thought-provoking question
in Cognitive Science but for an audience of non-experts, particularly
high school and early college students.

Do you have what it takes? We challenge you to create a 5-minute
video answering the question "Can Machines Think?" The video should
communicate cognitive science concepts in an engaging manner for people
unfamiliar with Cognitive Science. The top video will receive a
$1000 prize and be featured on the CSS website. Submissions open on
Sep 1st. See the website for more details.

This competition is part of our new outreach efforts to support
increased awareness and understanding of Cognitive Science among diverse
audiences. We encourage submissions from people with diverse backgrounds
and perspectives, and for this contest to reflect the Cognitive Science
Society's core values of interdisciplinary breadth and
inclusiveness. Consider sharing this opportunity with others who have a
passion for Cognitive Science, including faculty, graduate students,
senior undergraduates, and industry cognitive scientists.

As part of this competition, actual high school students will be
providing feedback on the videos. We are currently connecting with
students both to be judges in this competition and as a way to outreach
with students about Cognitive Science. If you know of a student group or
outreach group that services high school or early college students that
we could connect with, you can contact our outreach coordinator, Monique
Crouse, at mcrouse at ucsc.edu.

23-28 July 23 in Copenhagen, Denmark

Human computer interaction in the highly complex field of mobility and 
intermodal transport leads to completely new challenges. A variety of 
different travelers move in different travel chains. The interplay of 
such different systems, such as car and bike sharing, local and 
long-distance public transport and individual transport, must be adapted 
to the needs of the travelers.

Intelligent traveler information systems must be created to make it 
easier for travelers to plan, book and execute an intermodal travel 
chain and to interact with the different systems.

Innovative means of transport are developed, such as electric vehicles 
and autonomous vehicles. To achieve the acceptance of these systems, 
human-machine interaction must be completely redesigned.

We just published this onto the AAUP blog.

[For my part, I have an Aranet 4 CO2 monitor.  My teaching room was at
1400 ppm the first day, and with "a little adjustment" (ie turning on
the ventilation), the room came down to 500-600.  I think in time these 
will be more common.

I also ask students to mask, and get some 80-85% compliance. ]

I append the 13 steps.  We (PSU and the US) really should be requiring
masking and vaccination, as we do with measles and polio. But, COVID
deaths are now down to only 3x traffic deaths per day....

*Evidence-based guidelines to help protect faculty: *

 1. Be vaccinated and boosted as suggested by your healthcare provider.
    Vaccinate your family; flu shot, too.
 2. Encourage people with whom you interact to be vaccinated; encourage
    your university to require it.
 3. The CDC advises you have a greater chance of catching COVID-19 in an
    unventilated or poorly ventilated space if you have been within six
    feet of an infected, unmasked person for fifteen minutes or a masked
    person for twice that. Do not hesitate to mask inside (exposure is
    cumulative).
 4. Consider taking supplementary vitamins, such as D and C. Do other
    things to keep healthy: reduce stress, get outside, exercise, eat a
    balanced diet.
 5. If you get sick, and especially if you have underlying risk factors,
    get tested by a pharmacy that can immediately treat you with 
antivirals.
 6. Require the folks you interact with to also be properly masked when
    the ventilation or their vaccination status is unknown.
 7. Choose better, easy-to-wear masks (N95, KN95, or KF94). Wear them in
    higher-risk areas.
 8. Maintain six feet or more of distance from others, particularly if
    they may be unvaccinated, infected but asymptomatic, or coughing or
    sneezing.
 9. Provide office hours remotely.
10. If you have been exposed, quarantine and teach remotely. If you are
    sick, isolate and look after yourself .
11. Pay attention to ventilation: open windows, insist on better
    ventilation, teach in larger rooms with more space between occupants
    or outside, whenever possible; and check your room ventilation with
    CO2 monitors.
12. Assist with contact tracing in your classes. Seating charts or daily
    pictures help. Provide flexible attendance policies for those sick.
13. Encourage your university to share information, including detailed
    numbers about ventilation, infection rates, and contact tracing to
    help judge risk. Until they do so, stay in a safe place when you can.

7) Post-doc researcher at the Saxe Lab

The Saxe lab https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.saxelab.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ciccm-l%40lists.psu.edu%7Cd916bb7550694946d54608da9b0330c6%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C637992735242472975%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=5XTgxujw%2FpuKZDQ5Xx4QT1OwOojsxw%2BfglImoNHMZgo%3D&reserved=0 is looking for an outstanding
postdoctoral researcher to join the group's research programme at
UCL. The role lies at the interface of deep learning theory and
theoretical neuroscience and will involve conducting research into
artificial deep networks using techniques from applied mathematics. A
particular focus is on understanding how depth affects learned
representations and network behaviour.

Funded by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation the Gatsby Computational
Neuroscience Unit (GCNU) founded in 1998 is a world-leading centre for
research in computational theoretical neuroscience and in probabilistic
and statistical machine learning.  The Unit's co-location with the
Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at UCL creates the potential for a uniquely
close interaction between theory and experiment in neuroscience and the
integrated study of perception, control and learning.

The appointment will initially be for a period of 2 years with the
possibility of extension at the end of the period.

To apply see the further details at the link below. Screening starts
from *25 Aug 2022*.
