#neuroskyence I'll get the hang of Bluesky one day #WomeninSTEM while I'm at it, as this was an all ♀️ team (cause girls is players too)

Does anyone use #RedCap for child participant database management? If so, would you be willing to share screenshots etc. of what your user interface looks like or share the template, whichever is easier. #PsychSciSky #socialpsyc #devpsyc #AcademicSky #cogsci

When you have to wake up at 5am just to focus on something before the deluge of emails start, you gotta question what we're doing here, #AcademicSky.

The brain represents the world around us as a series of neural states - stable patterns of activity that change as we move from one event to the next. New paper by @selmalugtmeijer.bsky.social showing that neural states get longer as people age. #PsychSciSky nature.com/articles/s42003-025-08792-4

If I have to work on the weekend, might as well be here. 💚🌲

Dipped across the border yesterday to give a talk at SUNY Buffalo. Deleted social media from my phone, but all for nothing. The Canadian border guard was the bigger pain. 🙄 "you spent $50 on candy?" Yes! What of it!?!! 🤣

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Congresswoman files articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. We've been sounding the alarm for months, sending 3k+ quack-o-grams, and collecting 25k petition signatures calling on our reps to impeach & remove RFK Jr. We’re closing in on him. Help us WIN the fight. 🦆 zurl.co/vkZQV

A few strategies I use: 1. Talk with students about how: 1) AI tends to produce work that is at best mediocre and at worst just wrong, 2) using AI habitually weakens the critical thinking skills that make college valuable, and 3) AI exploits environmental resources and content creators.

Um, this free local newspaper is stealing my study ideas 👀 Coffee News, can we collab? #PsychSciSky

Georgian Bay, mid September. ❤️

At a high-school info session about postsecondary education yesterday, at which the guidance counselor said: 1. Universities are businesses ❌️ 2. They just want your money ❌️ The Ford government certainly thinks so, but I'd expect a teacher to know that isn't our main mission. 🙄 #AcademicChatter

Watched 'The Social Network' with my 15 & 12yo over the weekend. It was fun to hear their reactions to birth of social media, as they've never known a world without it.🤯 Takeaways: 1. Mark Zuckerberg is a dick. 2. Ads did make Facebook uncool. 3. Tech bros shouldn't have so much 💵, they're too bro.

I am fascinated by this guy who was a Higher Ed administrator and has now moved into teaching classes as a faculty member. He is documenting his whole journey on TikTok. Over the summer, he had so much excitement 🧵

How might stories shed light on brain function? Check out this opinion piece by @alexbarnett.bsky.social and I about the DMN and "situation models" -- our understanding of the current "state of affairs" in a story (or even experience). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

There are 2 kinds of academics: Those who respond to emails IMMEDIATELY (no matter what the hour or supposed vacation they're on). And those who NEVER respond. like, ever. Which one are you, #AcademicSky?

Just ran 4 back-to-back info sessions for our #PsychSciSky grad students from each cohort. Think I need to lie down now

Corn husking contest at our lab BBQ yesterday had our newest members wondering if they've made a grave error. 🤔 🌽🌽🌽🤪😂

📣Computational Intelligence faculty position at my university (Queen's University, Canada) that some of you might be interested in. Application deadline: Sept 26, 2025 Preferred start date: Jan 1, 2026 employment.cs.queensu.ca/2025/08/21/f...

Coordinating educational, extracurricular, social, and health activities for 5 people is exhausting. Kvetching to no one in particular and who would care anyway? #momlife #middleage

Just a reminder about this session tomorrow. Hope to see you there!

The day is long when you wake at 4:30am. And yet I still haven't emerged from my post-holiday inbox. 😭

Nice view from the top of Errigal 🇮🇪

Sheep 'baa' at night. Ask me how I know 😂

Out of office message on. Is there any better feeling? 😎 Ireland here we come!🍀🌧️🐑🚵🏻‍♀️🥂🏖️🌈

Wow, now this moron is trying to control what states we recognize. Even our king doesn't have that jurisdiction in Canada. #NoKings (especially of countries that aren't yours) www.bbc.com/news/live/c2...

Motherfucking wind farms…

If you do research on aging and you collect data online, check out our preprint (led by @indecisionwins.bsky.social), which describes age effects on cognition and personality across 6 common online platforms!

Great talk by @kamentsve.bsky.social at UofT today! Worth the trip to Toronto. #neuroskyence

🚨 Just about a week left to celebrate all our fantastic female colleagues in #workingmemory by nominating them for the #WomWoM research fairy award! 🚨

#AcademicSky #PsychSciSky Interesting analysis of publication trends pre & post tenure. #Psychology mirrors natural sciences (and deviates from other social sciences, business, etc, where there are declines post-tenure) www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10....

Argh!!! BBC, why you gotta do me dirty like this?

15.4% success rate in the CIHR Spring Project Grant Competition (with equalization): 435/2814 grants funded!

Fixed a single broken tile, so I'm basically Mike Holmes now 😂

TFW you assign a paper for lab meeting but then never make it past the methods yourself bc you're too confused 🤦🏻‍♀️😂⭐ #PscySciSky #neuroskyence

A floor tile is broken in our shower and I'm done with #adulting today.

Western is a great place for cognitive neuroscience and psychology—really strong group of faculty there!

Guys, I read a paper today. I wasn't reviewing it. It wasn't a student's thesis. I just wanted to see what they found. Please clap.👏🏻 (now hold applause until next summer) #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky

Working at the cottage kind of sucks, but you can't beat the air quality or the view. 💚

Taking some time to #TouchGrass in Quebec, as the kids say 😜 ⚜️💚

Didn't get the grant, but the reviews were pretty nice. I'll take it. #PsychSciSky #CVofFailures

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.
