🌏 Grateful to present at #ASSBI + #NZSIGN in NZ ✨ My datablitz explored how multilingualism relates to cognitive and psychosocial ageing 📊 Findings suggest multilingualism is linked to both costs and benefits, supporting selective adaptive resilience rather than a single “global advantage” model 🌱

"Not just living longer, but living better." Meet @oliviamaurice.bsky.social, one of MARCS Writing Fellowship awardees. Olivia is a cognitive neuroscientist exploring how #multilingualism shapes cognitive, sensory, and affective resilience as we age. #MARCSHDR #CognitiveNeuroscience #AgedCare

👏 Congrats to @oliviamaurice.bsky.social on winning Best Poster at the @istaart.bsky.social Neuroscience Next #Conference, hosted by NICM Health Research Institute. 🎉 We're also so proud of Naomi Folder who also presented about her amazing #research on #co-designed #dementia communication tools!

Happy to share that I was awarded Best Poster at @istaart.bsky.social Alzheimer's Association #NeuroscienceNext hosted by #NICM, @westernsydneyu.bsky.social ! I presented work from my PhD on the dynamic effects of #age and #multilingual experience on everyday #executive and #memory #function 🧠 🌱

👏Congrats to this quarter's MARCS Writing Fellowship awardees, @oliviamaurice.bsky.social & @aramirezharo3.bsky.social! Proud to support our #PhD candidates in publishing their #research. Can't wait to see their work in print! #AcademicWriting #MARCSHDR #CogNeuro @westernsydneyu.bsky.social

Such a fun day presenting about #sciencecommunication and #researchpathways! Thanks to @elisebogart.bsky.social for leading the day and everyone at @abicommlab.bsky.social for a fantastic day of #learning and #discussion!

Highly recommend for ECRs in cognitive neuroscience! 👍

🚀 New publication! This #systematicreview of #dementiarisk screening tools in #primarycare is out now 🧠✨ in time for #DementiaActionWeek2025. We looked at: ✅ The most common tools ✅ How well they work ✅ Where the big gaps are 🔗 Read it here open-access: lnkd.in/ggRJqDzG

Today I repped @marcsinstitute.bsky.social at the @westernsydneyu.bsky.social #3MT comp 🎤 My talk: Language & Longevity — how multilingualism could help you age better 🧠 Read about my talk and PhD research here: tinyurl.com/3mtoliviamau... #BrainHealth #Multilingualism #CognitiveNeuroscience

We’ll wait…🤔

The lack of science literacy in this country is intentional.

I’ve recently launched a Substack as a way to share ideas, research reflections, and interdisciplinary insights from my work in cognitive neuroscience. Join the conversation: 👉 lnkd.in/gBS-YwwY #CognitiveNeuroscience #BrainHealth #Neuroplasticity #Multilingualism #Neuroprotection #CognitiveAging

Australia’s billionaires raked in $67,000 an hour last year. While millions struggled to afford rent or groceries. It’s time to turn the tables. The Greens have announced our plan to tax Australia's 150 billionaires to fund cost of living relief. Join the campaign: greens.org.au/billionaires

June was an inspiring month of research, collaboration + connection: 🌎 Presented at @officialsarmac.bsky.social @sarmac2025.bsky.social 🇮🇪, + the Interdisciplinary Research Summit 🇬🇧! 🧠 Visited @christoslab.bsky.social at @uniofreading.bsky.social! #Multilingualism #Neurocognition #Ageing #PhD

What a fantastic time at #SARMAC2025 in Kildare, Ireland! So great connecting with researchers in #memory + #cognition, learning about topics in #ageing, #forensics + #law! My research talk explored my @officialsarmac.bsky.social funded #PhD work on #multilingualism + #cognitiveageing 🧠 🌱

Congrats to all of our 2025 HDR Forum participants for another fantastic day of showcasing your research, especially award winners: Sami Arja, @aramirezharo3.bsky.social @oliviamaurice.bsky.social & Mina Aghaei. We may be biased, but our HDR Candidates are the best! #PhD

I watched a little bit of MAFS (for the first time ever), and they keep calling it a "social experiment", and every time they say it, I think "This is why ethics boards exist"...

Proud to share this latest work conducted alongside colleagues at UOW, UNE and ACU! Such a great team effort and cool experience applying cognitive science and developmental psychology to educational policy. More to come soon! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Wow @acnsau.bsky.social exposing my terrible posture during #hyperfocus 😂😂😂

Thank you to @acnsau.bsky.social for a wonderful 2024 conference at the Uni of Newcastle and for supporting my attendance with a travel grant. What a pleasure presenting the latest findings from my #phd on #multilingual populations and #cognitivefunction across the lifespan. #science #cogneuro

Wait, do I want cool science to drown out all of the politics?! Yes. Yes, I do. 🧪

Conference mode activated 🫡

Might be good for the government to look at themselves first? 🤔 Let’s not forget the clearly racially motivated response to COVID lockdowns #westernsydney

Totally unrelated to the rest of my academic content, but in the pursuit of objective scientific truth I must agree 🫡

I've never questioned that scientists should be activists. I had good teachers. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2...

Starting off #ACNS2024 right! Great to see some strong @marcsinstitute.bsky.social and #WesternSydneyUniversity representation!
