Join us! Science Homecoming helps scientists reconnect with communities by writing about the importance of science funding in their hometown newspapers. We’ve mapped every small newspaper in the U.S. and provide resources to get you started. Help science get back home 🧪🔬🧬 🏠 sciencehomecoming.com

Just finished a draft of my Models of Memory (grad) course that I'm teaching this spring! Please share/borrow/re-use/follow along as desired, and if you have feedback or suggestions I'd really love to hear (especially while I can still change it)! All materials are here: github.com/ContextLab/m...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

going to a conference in your first semester as a PI see ya at #psynom24 !

Hello again, bluesky! Reintroducing myself with my new lab's new website: sites.google.com/view/spinslab If you're interested in joining our team at Binghamton, I'm recruiting a grad student this cycle—apply!

🚨Job alert! My new lab at Binghamton University is hiring a full-time lab manager ("assistant"). This is a great fit for a recent grad looking for cog/comp neuro experience before grad school. Details below, feel free to reach out with questions! binghamton.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdeta...

Are semantic representations stable or plastic over time? VERY excited to share this preprint, revealing plasticity within the MTL: reps in parahippocampal cortex drift over ~8 months and are also rapidly reshaped within ~1 hour. w/ @annaschapiro.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New preprint! We show that category structure rapidly warps memory for individual object features according to their roles in the category. Features shared across exemplars pull together while unique features stay apart. With @annaschapiro.bsky.social and Cody Dong. doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Just created my first syllabus that includes a policy on AI assistance. This resource was super helpful: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I'm recruiting PhD students to join my new cognitive neuroscience lab at Binghamton next fall! We'll use behavior, fMRI, and computational methods to explore how humans learn, represent, and flexibly use concepts in language and thought. If this excites you, too, please apply! tinyurl.com/42arf45f

Shamelessly using my first post on this app to share that I got married a few weeks ago! (from now on I promise my posts will be about science...mostly)
