Are there people in my network who are planning to attend APS 2026 in Barcelona (May 28-30) and might be interested in organizing or joining a symposium on memory control? #APS26BCN @psychscience.bsky.social

I’ll be attending ABCT in New Orleans this November, but just found out that presentation slides need to be uploaded 10 days (!) before the conference starts. That feels a bit excessive and kind of contrary to the academic spirit of last-minute refinements! Has anyone else run into this before?

I just realized: why are so many psychology conferences held on weekends? What’s up with that kind of planning? Why can’t they be scheduled during regular workdays? Is there any good reasoning behind this?

To my complete surprise, our Nature Reviews Neuroscience review on the Brain Mechanisms Underlying the Inhibitory Control of Thought has landed on the cover! Cover art below! For an "explainer thread", see earlier tweet. bsky.app/profile/memo... @mrccbu.bsky.social #neuroskyence #memory #ptsd

Trying to match 3 sets of MNI coordinates with the nearest elektrode in a 10-10 configuration. Based on doi.org/10.1016/j.ne... seems to align more with AF4 (compared to F4), but there might be better ways to figure this out. Recommendations are appreciated!

How does the brain stop thoughts? Find out in my article in @natrevneuro.nature.com with Subbu Subbulakshmi & Maite Crespo-Garcia www.nature.com/articles/s41... that integrates 25 yrs of psychology and neuroscience on this vital [email protected] sky.social #neuroskyence #neuroscience

I’m looking for a postdoc and RA for an ERC-funded project “SLEEPAWAY: Forgetting unwanted memories in sleep”. You’ll use MEG/EEG and fMRI to understand how the sleeping brain remembers and forgets. PLEASE REPOST 😊 Postdoc: tinyurl.com/vr5thp7s RA: tinyurl.com/ycyzkatc

An open letter supporting the international bachelor’s psychology programs threatened for cuts. Proceeding with these cuts would damage some of the most important and impactful psychology departments globally. #supportdutchpsychology openletter.earth/against-lang...

I had a joke about Mnemosyne, but… forgot the punchline and now it’s lost to time.

A thousand times yes. The question here is: when will universities follow suit? Five years, ten years, if ever.

New paper! 📯 A multi-lab replication (6 sites, 4 countries) found Tetris reduced immediate but not later daily intrusions. Caution is needed before clinical use—further research is required to assess its effectiveness for intrusive memories. doi.org/10.1525/coll...

We are excited to announce the 2026 APS Annual Convention will be held in beautiful Barcelona, Spain! Stay tuned for information about submissions - coming soon.

Anyone going to Psychonomic Society's 65th annual meeting in NYC in two weeks? 🧠 If so, always happy to meet up for a drink and talk science (or non-science). Just shoot me a message or hit me up at the conference! 😀 #psynom24 #psynomnomnom

This one is only for the Dutchies. 🙈 Samen met de Universiteit van Nederland heb ik een korte explainer gemaakt over waarom oogbewegingen in EMDR werken. 👀🧠 Super leuk om voor een breed publiek over wetenschap te mogen vertellen! 🎓 youtu.be/mu_A65yldm8

🤩In one of the largest experiments conducted in #ClimateChange psychology –63 countries, 258 collaborators, almost 60k participants– we reveal targeted strategies to increase climate change awareness and action around the globe. out in @ScienceAdvances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Six years ago, on this day I defended my dissertation. It makes my heart glow every time I think back 💙

Nobody: Obligatory Clinical Good Practice course: please answer these super jargony questions. Got them all wrong? No worries, we’ll explain all jargon in two hours in chapter 28.

In a new paper, we examined 11 interventions to address #climatechange beliefs and behavior (M = 59,440 in 63 countries). These findings suggest that the impact of behavioral climate interventions varies across audiences and target behaviors. Read the full paper here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Are others interested in setting up a symposium on memory control/thought suppression for APS24 in San Francisco?

Wait, is this the promised land? 🔵☁️ where scientists all live in harmony? 😄
