Looking for books on how to study more effectively (so you actually remember the information) or how to tweak your teaching so students remember what you've taught? Lots of great resources from cognitive scientists below and in replies to the original post. Add on with your other favs.

Mark your calendars! This webinar focuses on uplifting underrepresented faculty to share stories of their journey from student to academic. The focus is on navigating challenges and finding sources of encouragement. There will also be a Q&A! Students and faculty/staff are welcome!

Long time no see! Some updates on my second year at the U - this semester, I proposed my thesis, became a cycling academic, and was recognized by the U for my NSF GRFP award. Not too bad! Please keep an eye out on my page for a SARMAC Student Caucus event coming up soon. I am really excited for it!

Check out our ( @darazwemer.bsky.social, Pia Pennekamp, and Chenxin Yu) recent policy-motivated publication addressing the question: Does an eyewitness’s confidence indicate whether they have identified the culprit of the crime? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Reminder: If you are a US citizen age 18 or over, today is a very good day to register to vote, or (if you believe you are registered) to make sure your registration is still in effect. Not sure how to do either? www.vote.org has you covered.

Last year, I wrote a thread about including a significant loss in my GRFP application. I've now translated this thread to a blog post. Please share it with students writing applications this cycle! #NSF #NSFGRFP #Academia #GradSchool #Grants #GRFP www.linkedin.com/pulse/includ...

Really enjoyed a webinar put together by the APA yesterday that discussed incorporating LGBTQ+ advocacy into one’s academic career as a grad student and beyond. I encourage everyone to seek out resources like this workshop and consider ways to advocate in their academic space!

Check out my recent blog post for the #TransgenderFirst scholarship on LinkedIn! At a time when LGBTQ+ campus resources are under threat, this reflection feels particularly important. www.linkedin.com/pulse/outsid...

SARMAC students! I’m a committee member for the student caucus. We want to highlight your work! Please DM me for a form to submit so that we can share your bio on the student SARMAC X account! Faculty and students, you can nominate other student researchers as well!

Final reminder of the opportunity to apply to join us as a PhD student in conducting research on eyewitness memory, false confessions, and missing/wanted persons in beautiful Salt Lake City, UT! Apps due 12/1!

Thank you so much! I plan to take my experience publicizing and creating opportunities for student researchers, combined with my work mentoring underrepresented researchers, and apply it to creating and publicizing brave research spaces and rich social support networks for SARMAC students.

I am running for the SARMAC Student Executive Board! I would love to serve as a committee member or as the social chair. Please consider voting for me this upcoming election! I hope to do my part in creating and publicizing more opportunities for student researchers in our area.

Hi 🟦☁️ folks, I'm a professor at the University of Utah where I research & teach how attention & memory interact with the legal system. Topic areas include eyewitness memory & how people search for missing & wanted persons. I'll be reviewing PhD applications this fall! #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky
