When you're too busy to leave early, but too hopeful to look away. C'mon Canada! 🇨🇦 #WorldCup2026

It's take your kid to a conference day 🫶🏻

If you're at #CSBBCS, come hear me talk about @sarahehenderson.bsky.social's work on event tagging - a novel intervention aimed at improving event memory in older adults. 🌞 9am, HNE room 37 🌞

Come see Joseph Merante's poster on how event tagging affects memory & eye moments 👀 in older & younger adults A69 at #CSBBCS #PsychSciSky Project with @selmalugtmeijer.bsky.social

Check out Emily's poster at 6pm TODAY! 👇🏻 #CSBBCS #PsychSciSky

Wow, I found a Starbucks slower than the one at #BrockU, at #YorkU 🙃 (I do feel for Starbucks workers everywhere these days...no one orders plain ☕️ anymore)

Beautiful day for the Alzheimer's walk in Niagara today! The Campbell Neurocognitive Aging Lab raised over $2000, our most ever. Thanks to everyone who donated for your support. 🙏🏻💙 #IGWalkForAlz #BrockU Thanks @hannahgthomas.bsky.social for organizing our team!

Campbell lab had a great time learning all things memory at #TAMeG2026. 🧠 #PsychSciSky

13yo drew a graph 📈 in my bday card AND thinks I'm cool? I must be doing something right! 😂❤️ Also, what's with the "sad dip" at 85?? 🧐🤣

How do older adults combine familiar concepts to make sense of new ones? We ask this question about semantic composition in a new paper out now: www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy... #psychscisky #cognition Here's a breakdown of the main findings👇 1/6

Ever thought, I don't belong here? What if people realize? 👀 Imposter syndrome is real. Come learn some practical strategies to deal with it with Dr. Chantal Boucher. @sparksociety.bsky.social & @wicsc-trainee.bsky.social 🎟️ Register: tinylink.net/qBixb 🗓️ May 28, 2026 ⏰ 1–2 PM EDT 📍 Teams

Up the Villa! #AVFC

I've got 4 months to write a grant quickly becomes I've got 3 months to write a grant...and so on. Which idiot said yes to all these things?! 🤦🏻‍♀️ #AcademicSky

Excited to announce that I will be taking over as Director of the Institute for Lifespan Development Research @brocku.ca in September. I was drawn to #BrockU because of the amazing work being done by Lifespan members. Looking forward to facilitating that work in future. brocku.ca/lifespan-dev...

THANK YOU David Letterman & Stephen Colbert for a lifetime of smart satire, laughs, speaking truth to power & sending us to bed with a smile on our collective faces. You will be missed. 🙏 #EndOfAnEra

I love spring so much!

Once again, the Onion sustains me.

Cool, a day in which I achieved nothing of substance because I was stuck in email hell. #AcademicSky

New paper looking at age differences in the neural correlates of attentional selection & distractor suppression, led by @retorresh.bsky.social with @emrich.bsky.social 🧵 #PsychSciSky #Neuroskyence doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

Join us in Paris this summer for our #Miniscope Workshop 🔬 We'll teach you everything you need to know about miniscopes and have a blast while we're at it! Applications close on May 22, so don't wait 👇

Great to have several @brocku.ca #PsychSciSky PhDs back to talk about how they got their faculty positions & how it's going so far. Huge thanks to Oya Pakkal for organizing, & Jen Roters, Taylor Heffer, Alison O'Connor, & Dawn Ryan for taking part!

A researcher says she made up a disease with two posts on Medium, which led to Copilot telling users it was "intriguing and relatively rare." Posting two preprint papers about it online led to ChatGPT diagnosing people with it. 🧪 skepchick.org/2026/04/chat...

When I was #pregnant, I hated the term "baby brain". My brain was functioning just fine, thanks very much. And now that I'm in #perimenopause (or so they tell me), I'm starting to hate terms like "brain fog". How about "I'm-doing-every-fucking-thing fog"? I support this research, but ♀️> hormones

Becoming a parent is much more detrimental to women’s academic careers than it is to men’s Read the full story: go.nature.com/4v4rxmQ

Your review is both painful and accurate. Damn you! (but also thanks for your time and effort...I know that constructive [scathing] criticism takes time 😂) #PsychSciSki #AcademicSky

The "2-body problem" affects many in #AcademicSky & #PsychSciSky. Join us April 28, 2pm EDT, for an open & honest conversation with women who have navigated this reality firsthand. Jointly organized by @sparksociety.bsky.social @wicsc-trainee.bsky.social Register: tinyurl.com/yc86by7f

Love to my parents, married 50yrs today! So grateful for the #love they gave me and each other ❤️ #hippies #anniversary

Some of these meetings could have been emails. #AcademicSky

I am a medieval historian!! The world always is in a state, it has never not been in a state, joy and delight and beauty is what humanity exists for

Flying back on the red-eye so you don't miss your lab meeting (or children any longer): hardcore or stupid? 😂✈️🥱

Having a great visit at SFU, reviewing their Biomedical Physiology & Kinesiology Dept. Packed days, but I'm trying to cram in some "culture" while answering emails 🙃

I have had a sudden influx of review requests, way more than usual. Possibly bc of my CNS talk? or social media posts? Further evidence that I should stay home and shut up. 🙊😶‍🌫️ #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky

I was about to do a thing that used to be done by an admin person who was recently laid off, and then stopped myself. This isn't my job. #solidarity #AdministrativeCreep #AcademicSky

Mid-life thoughts: it may be time to start feigning incompetence. #PsychSciSKy #AcademicSky

How do the brain’s event representations change as we gain familiarity with an experience? Brain regions’ representations can become coarser or finer as events become familiar. Slow-timescale structure predicts memory. Excited to share this work w/ Narjes Al-Zahli & @chrisbaldassano.bsky.social!

the feed is incredible today bc you can't tell which posts are about Trump and his world-ending clown show and which are about a football match in Europe and it doesn't matter because they make perfect sense either way

this is my favorite slide from the talk though, because it's all the doctorates I've hooded since I've been a faculty member... we always focus on the impact of our research when I really think the greatest impact we have is on the folks we get the privilege of mentoring

Goodbye Vancouver. Thanks for the good eats (oh, and science). ✌️ #CNS2026 (Even the airport #Poké is good!)

Conferences are for science, but they are also for catching up with old friends. Nice to see these and so many others at #CNS2026

You know what's better than eating ice cream?🍦Eating ice cream and seeing @retorresh.bsky.social's cool poster (C115) about the time it takes to decode high vs low memorability objects using EEG! Later today #CNS2026

If you're at #CNS2026 and interested in aging & memory, come see @emilyedavis.bsky.social's poster on implicit associative memory tomorrow at 8am (#63)

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why? If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment. Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

TFW you've missed a couple emails/wrote down the wrong meeting times and you're wondering what else is going to come out of the woodwork...🫠 #AcademicSky

My measly human brain, with my measly human hours left on earth, does not want to read your manuscript/assignment/thesis if you used #AI to help write it. Fuck off, go ask a robot. #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky

Back to in-lab studies it is! (which we were already doing, really, because online participants are doing loads of other shit in addition to your task - ask me how I know!) #PsychSciSky

Just spent way too long revising procedures that will inevitably lead to an argument with the person who devised the procedures. And really, it's difficult to convey how little I care about this... #AcademicSky

Elsevier journal sending angry automated emails about my overdue review. Bitch, please. #AcademicSky
