Are you an early-career researcher (or someone hoping to help ECRs) working in #openscience or #metascience? The @reproducibilitea.org podcast is looking for guests for our next season of episodes! We'd love to feature ECR voices foremost – the next generation of scientists should be heard the most!

💻 #F1000 Blog Post Associate Publisher Emma Smith talks about F1000's open peer review model and how open peer review processes can benefit authors, reviewers, and the wider research community. Read now: spr.ly/63321fAyMT#F1000 #OpenResearch #OpenAccess #PeerReview

The dates have been set! #OAI14 will take place online from November 10-14, 2025. Make sure to follow us to get the forthcoming info about the talks, speakers and satellite events.

🚨 Big news alert 🚨 After a decade in academic research, I’ve decided to turn the page. Thank you to everyone who was a part of the journey 💛 I’m now bringing my research and #scicom experience to my new role as Instructor at @epfllibrary.bsky.social. Excited for this new chapter! 💫

Extremely happy to share our latest preprint on the bimodal advantage in #WorkingMemory! Across 4 experiments, we show when cued recall improves with audiovisual vs. purely visual input. Preprint: osf.io/7j6yt_v1 #CogSci #OpenScience #AcademicSky

3 hour open-science workshop I gave at Vin University Hanoi now online: "Credible science, evaluating science, and the need for a science reform" UG class level super basic research methods intro and my take on some of the main challenges we're facing. Details 👇🧵

The Working Memory Symposium will return in 2025 (Tentative date: July 8-11)! We are now seeking a new post-doc organizer to join our organizing team. To apply, fill out the google form linked on our home page (www.wmsymposium.org) by March 16!

When #scicomm = learning by laughing! Last Saturday, I took part in an improv show by The Catalyst (thecatalyst.ch) - an Anglophone sci-tertainment collective based in Lausanne, CH. I gave a 5-min layperson-friendly talk on #workingmemory, which the improvisers then used as inspiration for a skit 🧠🎭

Inspired by this year's Working Memory Symposium, we wrote an article looking toward the future of WM Big shout-out to Anastasia Kiyonaga for spearheading & to co-organizers @lauraklatt.bsky.social, @neurojacob.bsky.social, M. Rösner, @keisukefukuda.bsky.social direct.mit.edu/jocn/article...

Announcing a side-project that I have been working on for the past few months – introducing quokka, a free-to-use, in-browser app for qualitative coding. My goal was to make an app that was fairly intuitive and flexible so that it could fit most workflows. An app demo here: youtu.be/9jJK70W0hAI?...

We have a new online collection of papers on #memory and from tomorrow they will all be open access for a month! www.tandfonline.com/journals/cph... Enjoy #philsky!

I've been thinking that cognitive research needs to better interface with journalists and the public - there's an appetite for our expertise but scientists still mostly work towards and rely on peer-reviewed articles. We can break the pipeline by reviewing preprints and signalling quality ourselves.

Stellar new work lead by the inimitable James Whittington in Neuron that develops a new theory unifying episodic and working memory and explains diverse hippocampal and prefrontal data: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... w/Will Dorrell, @behrenstimb.bsky.social Mohamedy El Gaby

You're asked to develop a new research methods course for third-year psychology students – ten weeks of content to prepare students to make inferences about an evolving and complex world. What do you choose to include? What do you do away with from traditional courses? (And how do you respond?)

Dr. Ryan Rhodes @langofmind.bsky.social – from Rutgers University – explain the processes related to memory in an entertaining and informative way. He uses exciting visuals to underscore his approachable teaching style and make his video, well, memorable! #CogSciMindChallenge youtu.be/e64-k8Q0n84

Yes! To exist is to constantly communicate with the environment. Input from environment to cognition via sensation & perception. Output to environment from cognition via action. So it makes sense that each one of these elements influence each other over development.

The debate between Nature-Nurture is a dead end, it's a false dichotomy. We can only understand organismic development in the context of an organism's typical development within its environment. Furthermore, cognitive development cannot be understood without physical and motor development.

I'm hiring a full-time lab manager / research tech for my new psychology lab at Boston University, to start this summer (July 2025)! The lab's research focuses on understanding developmental changes in learning, memory, and exploration. More details here: cldlab.org/join/ 🧠💻 #psychscisky

OK If we are moving to Bluesky I am rescuing my favourite ever twitter thread (Jan 2019). The renamed: Bluesky-sized history of neuroscience (biased by my interests)

This paper by @mariogollwitzer.bsky.social, @stephannuding.bsky.social, @rolandimhoff.bsky.social, et al may become one of the most important of all behavioral science during/since 2020. Psychological research *was no less rigorous* during pandemic; may even have improved some.

Great opportunity @snsf-ch.bsky.social for postdocs! Horizon Europe Swiss Fellowships deadline is coming up: snf.ch/en/m1NtWp4nT.... Happy to support applicants interested in joining our lab! #Postdoc #EEG #Fellowship Feel free to contact me via DM or email.

This is going around again! Clearly it's time to resurrect this which I made for twitter back when it was less evil. Types of Psych Papers [Note: it is slightly more cynical (for humour value) than I actually am]

So many new people! Let me reintroduce 3 recent papers: 1) a review on perception of variability in vision 👀 📝 2) a model of contextual biases in VWM & perception 🗜️ 💻 3) decoding motion direction from fMRI shows bimodal representations 🧠 #visionscience #workingmemory #neuroskyence #cogsci #fmri

Nadine used careful and sophisticated psychophysics, computational modeling and neuroimaging to track down a neural basis for reality monitoring in the human brain. Very exciting to be along for the ride! #neuroskyence

Zotero is great and I think that anyone who needs to organise and cite more than a handful of references should be using it. Here's an intro to Zotero that I made for my undergrad students (but the info is relevant for anyone new to Zotero). Full vid [13 mins]: youtu.be/SlUHjOqVCyU Preview ⬇️
