Columbia Psych is hiring *two* junior faculty in Cognitive Science/Neuroscience this year! If you work on cognition (broadly defined), submit your application materials as soon as possible (review starts Nov 1). If you have questions you can reach out to me by email! apply.interfolio.com/175428

You learn better when you test yourself on an answer before you study it? Even more counterintuitive, our findings showcase that there is not one direct mechanism to this effect. Thank you @charan-neuro.bsky.social , @xiaonanl.bsky.social , and @jameswardantony.bsky.social ! doi.org/10.1037/xlm0...

This has now been cross-posted to UCLA's Psychology in Action blog! Feel free to check out and support UCLA Psych's scicomm group here: www.psychologyinaction.org/how-our-perc...

Are you an early career scholar interested in learning more about peer review? Join us for our virtual @reviewerzero.bsky.social workshop! We will help you understand how peer review works and give advice on responding to reviewer comments. 9-10:30am PT / 12-1:30pm ET on October 30th. Register👇🏼

Fellow Grad students, please check the NSF website. There was an update last night. 1st year students (masters and phd) can apply. www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

Years ago my lab tried to brainstorm ways to separately manipulate low-level (texture/pattern) and high-level (scene/object) image properties, for studying visual representations in the brain. Thanks to imaginative work by PhD student Zall Hirschstein, we now have a stimulus set that does just that!

hi everyone! i made a support groupchat for students who are currently applying for PhD/PsyD programs, wanting to apply to these programs, or for students who want more information. If you would like to join, please reach out and I will add you! 🥰

I have officially written my first blog post as a first year PhD student 📝 Hoping to write once a month as I embark on this journey into academia. Read below an intro to temporal memory! 🧠 www.academicmemories.com/post/how-our...

Being a scientist is my day job, but I also write and perform music. I've finally posted some live vids by my band, theNULL: youtu.be/Zdu6Z2XpqeM?... We also have an Instagram @thenull_davis and it would really help us to get some follows for getting gigs. Speaking of which, merch is coming soon!

Just discovered this cool resource for learning about digital signal processing. Super cool and intuitive visualizations for newbies and experts alike! (Thanks, @fleabrained.bsky.social, for sharing it on @pessoabrain.bsky.social's thread) jackschaedler.github.io/circles-sine...

New press on our study linking the locus coeruleus to memory formation 🔵: newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/bra... . “…at a time when legislation promises ‘big and beautiful change,’ it turns out one of the brain’s smallest players may have the biggest impact on how we understand and remember our lives.”

"In this world, there are two times....The first is unyielding, predetermined. The second makes up its mind as it goes along." - Alan Lightman, Einstein's Dreams 🕰️ Amid these wild times, I'm grateful to first-author this super cool fMRI study started by my great advisor @davidclewett.bsky.social! 🧠

hi everyone :) I've made a lil ole blog to make some posts about the research I do (w/o giving too much away ofc) and to provide some tips for upcoming academics from an upcoming academic academiaforsillies.wixsite.com/academia-for-sillies

I'm looking for a new full-time research assistant ("junior specialist"). It's not quite "lab manager" because I have someone who takes care of the administrative tasks, and here I'm looking for someone to help us get research done! Info is below, please pass on to any talented candidates, thanks!

My favorite conference is the Memory Disorders Research Society meeting. It's a delightful community: top-notch research & wonderful people who have been so supportive in my career. Want to join? Nominations for membership (including self-nominations) are open until April 9! Form at the top👇🏼

new cog neuro blog post up! this time writing about motion blindness: www.academicmemories.com/post/now-you...

We're in Symposium Session 8 "Memory in the plan of your hand", learning about smartphone studies and how they are contributing to understanding - and perhaps strengthening - memory @evgoldfarb.bsky.social kicks it off! #CNS2025

My first @cogneuronews.bsky.social meeting! Day one and I’ve already met so many great people and heard about the excellent cognitive neuroscience research they are doing! Might have to put this event on my annual rotation😏 #CNS2025 @northwellhealth.bsky.social

Excited to share our new preprint! Using a narrative reading paradigm, we showed that temporal order memory reconstruction can depend on multiple sources of information - factors like knowledge about typical event order and hierarchical event structure can both play important roles! 📖🧠

tomorrow morning!!! come by to learn about this amazing & interdisciplinary project 💗 #cns2025

#scicomm is more important than ever, as science is under attack @charan-neuro.bsky.social Excited for this workshop on #scicomm at #CNS2025

Grateful to be gathering and hearing exciting science from the cog neuro community at #CNS2025! We’ve got new ideas to share: Sat 3p - poster A94 from Jean Ye Sun 5p - C147 from @zhoui.bsky.social Mon 10am - 📱symposium! feat @davidclewett.bsky.social, @barense.bsky.social, @liladavachi.bsky.social

if you’re going to #cns2025 … come on down to my poster (B#127) !! i will be going over how we use PET neuroimaging, pharmacological intervention, and computational modeling to assess dopamine’s role in social decision making! :)

If you're going to #CNS2025, please stop by my poster (C36) on Sunday evening to find out more about this paper and episodic memory's multidimensional scrutiny! 🤓

Calling all psych, neuroscience majors and anyone in the mental health community - let’s connect! 🤍✨would love to make new friends and share experiences! #mentalhealth

Hi! My lab is recruiting participants for our study on the gut-brain axis and nutrition's role in neurocognition. We have been having trouble finding participants who meet all criteria.

in only a week we’ve received 12 applications from this niche subset of people 😱 !! next stop: promoting to local high schools and colleges across the nation! :)

I don't see enough people or reporters talking about the mass terminations of nih lgbtq+ grants that happened yesterday. How can we get the word out so communities understand the huge loss to science, safety, and economy this is?? #academicsky

i’m creating a starter pack for us early career psych/neuro scientists! comment if you want to be added, as so far i’ve mostly included my colleagues :) #psychology #neuroscience #cognitivescience go.bsky.app/3iktmaL

academic memories is hosting a virtual science communication program! intended for high school and community college students interested in the brain sciences, we aim to allow students to develop their research interests before university. find out more: www.academicmemories.com/scicomm-program

At Reviewer Zero, we're passionate about helping early career researchers navigate the challenges of the peer review system. If you're an early career researcher in psych & neuro and feel stuck & need advice for a manuscript, check out this opportunity!

currently watching severance and felt very inspired to read up on place cell literature and how it relates 🤩 new #scicomm article currently being drafted!! :)

This is 💙 Science & Fiction 💙, where scientific results and fictional stories intersect. A space for people who like to a) learn about #science and b) read #sciencefiction at the same time. ✨ Go here to see what it's all about: 🇬🇧 www.scienceandfiction.com 🇩🇪 www.scienceandfiction.com/de

update: i received a lot of great feedback and ideas on how to better visualize the data and methods :) i’m excited for Cognitive Neuroscience Society attendees to see the final product!

presenting at my first full-lab meeting today! excited about this presentation and i’m especially excited to hear what the lab (which focuses on neurobiology of aging) thinks about this computational cognitive neuroscience project :)

when i first started on tiktok i saw this happen as well!! could not use the terms “research” or “research paper” at all (captions, hashtags, in-video text)!!! i usually found a way around it by now using “researcher” but it’s wild how tiktok censors these topics…

Guess quality moderates how semantic relatedness influences the pretesting effect: http://osf.io/wfnj2/

@diamondn.bsky.social et al. find that sleep enhances memory for the order of events from an art tour, but not the details of the events. The sleep-related advantage for sequences persists for over a year. @brianlevine.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

See what a scientist looks like from the Sacramento @standupforscience.bsky.social march www.tiktok.com/@trainorlab/...

The MAC lab is hiring a full-time lab manager to start in June! You will have the opportunity to conduct research projects relating to long-term memory and concept knowledge (methods include online and in-person behavioral experiments, fMRI, TMS). Apply by March 26 careers.drexel.edu/cw/en-us/job...

as a part of #brainawarenessweek, academic memories asked a few of our volunteers about their experiences. read below as they describe their pathways to neuroscience, how virtual opportunities are accessible, and how representation is still needed. www.academicmemories.com/baw-2025

attended the neurofest at @ucdavis.bsky.social today!! i enjoy seeing neuroscience researchers communicate complex topics to general audiences, hence why every year i attend after graduating. please continue to support neuroscience outreach events in your area!! #stemoutreach #ucdavis

Thanks to out @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social community for joining us at Stand Up For Science! @jenniferdoudna.bsky.social spoke about how NIH funding supported her PhD & NSF funding supported her development of #CRISPR genome editing. Federal funding is needed for life-saving science!

Standing up for science is standing up for truth, reason, and wellbeing. So proud of my lab and colleagues for coming out to the march today!

#standupforscience at UC Berkeley! Speakers pictured are Vincent Medina & Louis Trevino, leaders of the 'ottoy Initative.

Reyes lab making me proud in Columbus, Ohio. #Standupforscience.

Want to stream our DC event & hear from amazing speakers like Bill Nye, Francis Collins, Atul Gawande, and SO MANY MORE? Join our livestream at www.twitch.tv/standupforsc..., starting at 12 pm! #standupforscience2025

Inspired by @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social, I wrote an opinion piece about the importance of science funding in my education for my hometown newspaper. www.bakersfield.com/opinion/comm...

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics. At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
