Today is the LAST day to submit a public comment on the proposed OMB rule. We've put together a guide to help: www.psychologicalscience.org/act-now

⏰ What time is it? 🧚‍♀️It's research fairy time! Please share widely and nominate early and often (by Aug 2) those fantastic female researchers that we are privileged to have have in our field ✨🪄 forms.gle/Znh4zgtXgWQK...

Listening to this episode and it’s actually worse than I thought; this book is like the final boss for fact checkers and other people who are bothered by made-up claims.

Finally out: my review in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social covering how my lab and others have been ‘Looking into working memory through micro eye movements’ over the years. What does the microsaccade bias buy us? A lot I argue. Go see for yourself at: doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...

Postdoc position available at postlab.psych.wisc.edu. Pls send cv to [email protected]

i have very rapidly become incapable of thinking about anything that isn’t this video

I try to teach my kids this all the time. In order to become good at something, you have to be willing to be bad at it first. I worry that our kids will forget the messy process of learning things. AI promises "woah, I know kung fu," but minds and bodies don't work that way.

We are looking for a new colleague!🧠🇨🇭🦩 A new post doc position is available in our lab - check the link for more details! www.unige.ch/fapse/womcog...

I worry about putting out a vibe against my express wishes to receive questions/feedback from students and mentees. Yet, when an undergrad student includes "fuck" in his question after class and an RA tells me I'd be "diabolical" to do an exam before spring break...maybe signals that I'm doing OK 😂

We are excited to announce that we will host WMS2026! The tentative dates are July 14th-17th, and we are currently looking for a postdoc to join the WMS2026 organizer team. If you are interested, please submit your application using the link below (Deadline: March 29th) forms.gle/noqsuEja2tB8...

Thank you to everyone who sent in nominations & to @scannedfruits.bsky.social for making Laura's wand 🪄🧚‍♀️

Hey #memory folks, check out this new preprint by @joschadutli.bsky.social , @koberauer.bsky.social, and @leabartsch.bsky.social showing that elaboration benefits are likely driven by aiding in establishing efficient retrieval cues.

Yes, this was a really great experience! Thanks for @cvonbastian.bsky.social and @vmloaiza1.bsky.social for asking us to do this as part of #ESCOP2025! And if you are interested in having a similar workshop for your PhD Programm or similar, feel free to reach out!

Leeds WoMCog group at the #ESCoP2025 conference in Sheffield!

I’m going to present at the Blitz Talk on Friday, 6pm, at #ESCOP2025 @escop.bsky.social. The very last session, yet I’m sure with a lot of excitement! Come to listen whether engaging in your hobby predict your cognitive abilities. 🧠

Here is the paper that @mollyadelooze.bsky.social presented this morning at #escop2025 showing source amnesia for recently presented verbal information.
