I currently have two fully-funded PhD opportunities in my lab - both providing a chance to work on the incredible LEAF data set that we have been collecting the last couple of years (220 children followed longitudinally from 10-30 months on measures of attention and early EF). Please share!

I love running the Sky Follower Bridge extension tool every couple of months since I find 1000+ Twitter mutuals who’ve arrived since the last time I ran it! Highly recommend folks do this regularly. It’s the warm feeling like finding old friends all over again, even if they’re just mutuals. 😄

4 and a half hours of motorway driving after work is not the best way to start a weekend but on the upside means oldest is now home for a couple of days before I rinse and repeat all that driving again on Sunday.

Got called out at work yesterday by slightly younger staff member while chatting about sleeping aids. Claims it's like working in an old folks home.....her day will come.

Apart from a couple of references, I seem to have hit the end of my to-do list, unusual times.
