Episode 6 of Mempathy is all about the power of music for people with dementia-related memory loss. Having studied this for many years, it has been a joy to see it in practice with my mum. In the episode I share practical ways to get the best from music: mempathy.podbean.com/e/episode-6-...

Nice to see this article out in issue! #MusicScience journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... cc: @jasongoopy.bsky.social @melissaforbes.bsky.social I did a #PubChat thread over on the other site, so repeating it here:

hanging out in gathertown today for our JCU Department of Psychology 4th year mini-conference. With @helloklaire.bsky.social kicking it all off!

at yesterday's @ausmuspsysoc.bsky.social Writing Group, we pulled our theses off the shelf - in support of those who are working towards and just completing theirs. the supportive community is one of the things i love about AMPS. #MusicScience #GetYourManuscriptOut

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

today's really exciting @ausmuspsysoc.bsky.social #AMPlify session is with Glenn McDonald (author of You Have Not Yet Heard Your Favourite Song: How Streaming Changes Music) #MusicScience

“Whether we’re celebrating or grieving, music is something we can turn to." A new study led by @steffenherff.bsky.social from @sydney.edu.au's Sydney Conservatorium of Music has shown for the first time empirically that music can keep you company by facilitating imagined social interactions.

psychological literacy is super important, but undergrad psych students don't always love learning research methods and stats. Thanks to a JCU grant, i've wrapped season 1 of my alumni spotlights for our Professionally Psyched podcast. You can listen on Spotify: lnkd.in/gWEVpR4g

great music at today’s community day. #townsville #MiEL
