I'm feeling very happy, lucky, and grateful to have reached this next career milestone (tenure!) with the support of my family, lab, and colleagues! Special thanks to my current grad students @paxt0n4 and @Xu_Xinming for their incredible work, creativity, and general awesomeness!

Does exercise improve memory? It might depend on how intense the workout is, a study found. nyti.ms/3CH9idX

In my latest for the @nytimes, I wrote about a new study that established a link between the intensities of exercise people do, and their different types of memory, whether it's remembering where you put your keys or recalling past events. nytimes.com/2022/10/07/well/…

Replying to @ContextMemLab
I want to recognize Emily Glasser of @achillesintl for her mentorship on this project. And Dave Bucci was our initial inspiration. He formed the original team & got us excited about linking fitness+memory+mental health. He's sorely missed. I hope he'd be proud of what he started.

Excited to share the materials for my just-concluded Human Memory course! It's based around @KahanaMichael's awesome textbook on the past century of mathematical memory models, with some extra goodies inspired by @ptoncompmemlab, @HassonLab, & co baked in: github.com/ContextLab/human-…

We're thrilled to announce that the latest addition to the "Sherlock papers" family is now live! This was a super cool paper to work on, and it builds on awesome science from @kanileke, @ChrisBaldassano, @ptoncompmemlab, @HassonLab, and others.🧵...

Today I concluded my senior seminar on Storytelling with Data with a *fantastic* group of students. It's a scary time to graduate: hire them! They've produced 🌟 data-driven commentaries on current events, with some quirky stuff thrown in for good measure: tinyurl.com/yaed54nr
