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

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...

I love how people distrust actual expertise, yet 100% believe randos on the internet 🤪🤣

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!
