We are ready for the joint @exppsychsoc.bsky.social and #CSBBCS meeting, kicking off tomorrow! Welcome to Scotland everyone, where carrying an umbrella ☔️ and sunglasses 😎 at all times is a necessity 😉😄 #EPS25

We are kicking off the joint EPS and CSBBCS meeting with the pre-conference meeting of Women in Cognitive Science Canadian Chapter (WiCSC+)! @wicseurope.bsky.social

Dr Nura Sidarus Dr Sabrina Burr & Dr Dagmar der Weduwen: asking research questions that cross boundaries. You keep having no idea about what you're doing and may struggle with researcher identity, but you become a unique expert @wicscanada.bsky.social @wicseurope.bsky.social @exppsychsoc.bsky.social

Dr Sabrina Burr sharing her experience with academic positions in the UK and Canada - different teaching models, PhD journeys, research funding... WiCSCE+ panel at the EPS/CSBBCS meeting in Dundee @wicscanada.bsky.social @wicseurope.bsky.social @exppsychsoc.bsky.social

Dr Nura Sidarus at the WiCSCE+ panel sharing her academic journey including the hidden CV & experiences in setting up an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion committee during her postdoc in France. Thanks for the openness! @wicscanada.bsky.social @wicseurope.bsky.social @exppsychsoc.bsky.social

Dr Dagmar der Weduwen provided tips for how to make funding applications stand out: make it achievable, understandable for lay reviewers, novel, timely (why now and not next year?), important, and exciting! @wicscanada.bsky.social @wicsc-trainee.bsky.social @exppsychsoc.bsky.social

Congratulations to all our Psychology @abdnpsych.bsky.social graduates! And especially to O. Victory Ulamen who will spend her summer researching memory thanks to the EPS New Graduate Scholarship @exppsychsoc.bsky.social and continue into her PhD funded by EastBio BBSRC ⭐ @abdnunipress.bsky.social

Congratulations to the many fabulous awardees honoured at the Closing Ceremony last night! #sarmac2025

Huge congratulations to the winners and runners up for Best Student Poster and Best Student Talk - some of whom are pictured below. The judges had a difficult task with the range of amazing presentations at #sarmac2025!

Students whose universities demand quicker feedback-turnaround by staff are barely (if any) more satisfied with their feedback. Who would guess it? My new paper 🙃 doi.org/10.1080/0260...

Good reporting on this aspect of the attacks on science — how the Trump administration is cutting research on mis and disinformation. Shout out to @lkfazio.bsky.social for taking a public stand (and being the lead photo). 1/2 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/b...

Thank you for everyone who came to my talk! It was a lovely session; everyone’s research is so amazing! #sarmac2025 @studentssarmac.bsky.social @officialsarmac.bsky.social

The WiCS lunchtime session on mentoring kicking off in the Belling Suite with @lkfazio.bsky.social providing great examples of how mentors and advocates have helped her in her career #sarmac2025

The mentoring dream team at #SARMAC2025! 🙌 wonderful and uplifting lunchtime WiCS session and a special shout out to @ayannakim.bsky.social & Akira O’Connor who contributed from afar ⭐️

Glad to see a little bit of rain isn’t dampening anyone’s spirits on day 2 of #sarmac2025! ☘️

I’ve never presented in a fancier room than this! It was great fun talking about a review we have been tirelessly working on as to how eyewitness researchers report on their coding schemes. Preliminary data suggests inconsistency and sometimes a lack of transparency. Paper and recommendations coming

@officialsarmac.bsky.social Erin Robbins excellent provocative keynote -Diversifying the science of cognitive psychology.. Asks SARMAC: what has wrong with efforts to diversify and increase representation in psychological science? #sarmac2025

A persuasive and provocative keynote from the excellent Erin Robbins (& Akira O’Connor) on diversifying the science of cognitive psychology this morning! #sarmac2025

@sarmac2025.bsky.social @sarmac2025.bsky.social Aberdeen @abdnpsych.bsky.social representation at @sarmac2025.bsky.social - we've had a fantastic time at the conference. Loads of great talks, discussions, and connections. Thanks @ciaragreene.bsky.social and @gillian-murphy.bsky.social ❤️

The Teaching About Research in Memory & Cognition #sarmac2025 @officialsarmac.bsky.social was full of good examples of how to get students to engage E-portfolios puzzle boxes, using mobile phone tech learning to learn, to public science communication. Thanks for organising @drrobnash.bsky.social‬

How can we correct conspiracy belief #sarmac2025 Ryan Balzan uses clinical training to reduce delusions in schizophrenia. Train ppl to not jump to conclusions- there is no water in the picture below (it's a wall) Cognitive bias correction -similar idea for broad population, effective in a pilot 28/

Now a very Nashville talk!! Researchers from Ireland (Cian James) had people play a detective game about a country music star who wants to make a comeback but he keeps posting about conspiracy theories online. You're part of the PR team trying to reign him in. #sarmac2025 29/

Here’s @lkfazio.bsky.social doing a discussion for a disinformation symposium at @sarmac2025.bsky.social. She talked about the attacks on science and education. Lisa is a leader in standing up for science. Here she is talking about what we can do. For the no kings day, from our conference overseas.

“Around the world…sexual violence is rarely prosecuted “ - in her important keynote Prof Heather Flowe explores the factors underpinning injustice, advocating for a gender lens approach and high quality investigative interviewing @officialsarmac.bsky.social #sarmac2025 @sarmac2025.bsky.social
