My job isn’t very exciting to my kids. But, I just had my big moment. One kiddo recently fell in love with encyclopedias (yay). “Hey, did you know I actually wrote some entries that are in an encyclopedia?” 🤩🤯 I’ve peaked.

Great work by Queen’s Psychologist Dr. Wendy Craig! (I’ve said it before, saying it again—I work with people who do truly inspiring stuff) #Grateful #Science #Psychology #QueensU

Great example of how proactive steps can improve health and reduce costs.

Hey Canadian PSYC folks! Some incredible students are working with me to create a free online resource re: career pathways in PSYC in Canada. We are looking for all kinds of folks (esp non academic) who might be willing to have a brief bio included. Please share! forms.office.com/r/RhQRS4QMyg

A new version of the preprint for the ManyClasses 2 project involving 30 classrooms (6th grade to college) is available. Led by @benm0tz.bsky.social, this impressive study confirms the benefits of prequestions for student learning, with some complications (see the abstract). osf.io/preprints/ps...

This was true for my phone. Le sigh.

Took a quick trip up to skate the @rideaucanalskate.bsky.social Overheard a conversation-paraphrasing-“The news…no, this is what it is to feel Canadian. We show up and skate together. *This* is it.” What a glorious day! Thanks to all who work to make it happen! ✨💫 🇨🇦

I’ve said this a million times* over the past few years. If I was an investor, I’d be looking to invest in anything that can show authenticity. If anything (and anyone) could be fake, identifying the scarce authentic is exceptionally valuable. But, I’m not an investor so what do I know? 🤷🏼‍♀️😅 *a lot

This is an awesome opportunity for 3rd year students! I heard a rumour that some students are here-please share 😃

Laugh of the day: Going through old unpacked boxes. My oldest said “what is THAT?!” 😂😂😂 She also didn’t know what my (treasured, beloved) lime green iPod shuffle was. Kids.

Important info: Moana 2 is excellent, and you need to stay for the credits. Something important happens.

Happy Tibb’s to those who celebrate! 😊😊 Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday ⛄️

It was a glorious drive to the Invista centre this morning! I love living this cliché: here comes the sun, na na na na.

It could be confirmation bias, but I feel like there are always UFO stories at the holidays. Has anyone ever thought to ask if aliens are Chris De Burgh fans? For those who don’t get this reference: m.youtube.com/watch?v=GmZg...

Playing with Notebook LM. I just uploaded my CV and asked it to identify potential jobs for me. It wrote me a great draft for a bio. A colleague uploaded their syllabus, and it can answer basic questions for students. Obviously need to fact check everything, but technology is freaking cool.

As I finally take a moment to grab lunch, I find myself in a quandary. Twitter folks will know that I’m not great with plants. I’ve found a secret sauce, and 2/3 of my office plants are doing great. Do I risk taking them home for the holidays, or commit to coming into work to water every 3 days?

Logged back into Twitter because I miss the engagement there—it felt more social than here. But…it’s like a civilization that has been taken over? I was only gone a couple of weeks…what…is it? 😳 Also, the moon is gorgeous, get outside if you can and you’re up! 🌕

Came up for air to hang out with some friends today! That sun—one week until it starts coming back! ☀️

Had to laugh-for those who have followed the saga from the other place…I’ve been chasing the Holiday Inn pillow so hard that I now get a thank you at check ins. 😂😂 (no, being a member hasn’t helped)

As we hit the holiday season of red & green, I’m just a girl asking software companies to have colour deficiency friendly palates as the base. Red and green graphs seem cool…but not to many. It’s such an easy fix so please just fix it 😅 #Accessibility #DataVizForAll

Here's a friendly reminder that "AI" is a broad term encompassing lots of things. Machine learning and "AI" have been around along time. I suspect, in many cases, when people express concerns about "AI" they really mean "Generative AI." www.forbes.com/sites/bernar...

Just saying…the volume of email for Black Friday is aggressive.

Skip the Dishes delivered my lunch to not my building. Can anyone ID this lobby at Queen’s? I really want it! 😂

I’m down a philosophical rabbit hole about normal distributions. Are there any theoretical papers about normal distributions in PSYC science? Why do we love them so much? Is it really about data analysis, or theoretical underpinnings of many constructs? Something else?

Excited for the Santa Claus parade tonight in #YGK! Yours truly will be walking it on kid duty. I can’t lie…I’m pumped. 😂 Hope to see you there! #YGKLove #Community

Most of y’all here are humans, not bots. The bots get regular water to cool down, and down time. Friendly reminder that humans also need scheduled maintenance to work well. If you need the nudge to take a mid-day break, this is it ☀️ #Balance #JoyfulMovement

Update: I stole the Mona Lisa to sell on the black market to use the profits to reinvest into post-secondary 😂 Although laudable, this is a crime with consequences. #Gamification

As we wrap the “content” part of #PSYC400, some students created games for their groups. Sharing with permission because I’m laughing so hard: I’m a suspect, and a CPA meeting is my cover. 😂😂 Sharing for my fellow CPA peeps 😄

#ICYMI: This fall, the City of Kingston is reminding residents of the Municipal Fee Assistance Program, an income-based program providing access to City programs and services for free or at a lower cost. #YGK More about the program here: www.kingstonist.com/news/city-ou...
