So what’s happening here? It’s called phosphenes – a funky brain-eye collab. 🧠👁️ Your eyes + brain team up to make these visual effects happen when there’s pressure on your eyes or a quick change in light. Brains are awesome, right? 2/3

Basically phrenology😂 Apparently I made a swim cap brain in my freshman year of high school anatomy course… sent to me by a current high schooler. Let’s just say I’m a bit more well-versed on the fact that this isn’t exactly how the brain is laid out. Unfortunately still cannot do art.

SLU isn’t the richest school by any means, but they show up and put their pennies where their mouth is, something we don’t always see from other institutions. If you’re a school interested in bringing this to your students, reach out! 3/3 #SLU #CommunityEngagement #AI #EducationForAll

Can we have our own lingo here? Here’s my proposal. 1) Skyline: a simple thought/few words 2) Nimbus: any sort of post with deeper content/advocacy posts (get it… because nimbus clouds hold weight) 3) Horizon Report: research/academic chatter Also, this is no longer a feed, it’s an airstream.

Tell me you’re insecure without telling me you’re insecure. You. Can’t. Erase. Us. Dude. Take pictures down. Burn books. Ban knowledge. We’ll continue doing meticulous science. You can’t erase curiosity, our integrity, our drive for knowledge & excellence. It’s our nature -not yours, we know.

2/2 @engra.me if there was age range, you mentioned that there was no episodic memory recollection of exact # behind a door, but participants could recall the gist/range. Did this vary at all if you looked at age? Do older people become even poorer at exact recall or shift to gist memory even more?

@engra.me Attended your talk at WUSTL today! Awesome work being showcased. Wasn’t able to fit my question into the time-slot, but wanted to try to reach you here. Curious to what your age group participant ranges were like for the gain/loss decision-making work you talked about? 1/2

It takes curiosity to learn. It takes courage to unlearn. Learning requires the humility to admit what you don't know today. Unlearning requires the integrity to admit that you were wrong yesterday. Learning is how you evolve. Unlearning is how you keep up as the world evolves.

soak up advice like a sponge! Advice for grad school apps/research/life in general has not come from one person, but a culmination of the advice and guidance of many PIs and current grad students. Treasuries of very valid information from every angle. Don’t be afraid to ask, and ASK a lot!!

My best graduation gift was a Radiolab+ subscription. Currently in airport w/ 4hr layover and have gotten through several of the older episodes back when most of RL was neuroscience. “Who Am I?” is a really great one. Got me thinking, self is plural, not only bc we are all simply a product of… 1/2

In times when progress is halted, we must strive forward with unwavering hope. Though the path may be obscured, we know all to well that truth cannot be stopped—it burns through every barrier. Resilience lights the way forward. Together, we will rise, and discoveries cannot be denied.

Toxic positivity is pressuring people to look on the bright side. They have to suppress anxiety, anger, sadness, and grief. Healthy support is shielding people from the dark side. You invite them to express their pain, and show them they're not alone and won't feel it forever.
