Really excited to have an interview I conducted with Dr. Sarah Woolley, a songbird researcher at @ZuckermanBrain, published in @CricketMediaInc's Muse magazine!

Big moment. My first first-author preprint is now out...here we investigate the neural basis of curiosity using a cool behavioral task and some fMRI! Check it out if you're curious abt curiosity! (w/ my brilliant mentors Jackie Gottlieb and @mariam_s_aly)

1/9 Indians in the US on a work visa can't go home. There’s NO appointments.
The now ~200k H-1B Telegram group is growing by 13,000 per month.
Even with ~$40m in fees, the 5 VACs process ~10,000 a month. The next availability is ~2024!
Here’s 6 stories from hurting families:

Great intro to the brilliant @katieinsel 's research. Not shown but just as impressive: her amazing commitment to mentoring and science advocacy
Katie Insel studies the adolescent brain:

I'm recruiting a grad student for Sept 2023 @uvic! If you're interested in memory, aging, and cognitive control (and want to live in a beautiful city), please get in touch and consider applying! Deadline Dec 1st.

Applying to PhD programs & interested in studying human memory? Be sure to consider my lab @UCRiverside! We use fMRI and EEG to look at memory (and esp how context influences our memories) in younger adults & healthy older adults. Apps are due by Dec 1st: bit.ly/UCRPhDApp

Thrilled to share my latest paper, "Aging shifts the relative contributions of episodic and semantic memory to decision-making", out now in Psychology and Aging with co-first author @zhabumafoo, Lynn Hasher, and @duncanlabUofT

Keeping my 👀 on #BlackInNeuro rollcall for scientists applying for PhD programs this fall! My lab @UCRiverside opens Summer 2023 & will use brain imaging techniques (fMRI, EEG) to study memory, context, and aging. Feel free to DM/email if you're interested or want to know more!

Excited to share my first first-author preprint, “schema-based predictive eye-movement support sequential memory encoding” w/ the amazing Isabel Velarde, @weijima01, and @ChrisBaldassano. psyarxiv.com/gej7q

Hi #NeuroTwitter! Currently working on an article for @psychmag about #interdisciplinary early-career folks bridging the brain sciences and humanities. Interested in interviewing/sharing your thoughts? Please reach out!

I have been meeting with a lot of academics to chat about potential research careers outside the academy. They are often really surprised how research works in an industry setting 📈
So, here's a brief thread on what the process looks like from the other side:

feels like it should be more common knowledge that you can't change the gmail account you have affiliated with your scholar account

If you use pupil size or (micro)saccade measurements in your research, check out our paper, out today in @ScienceAdvances!
We developed and validated a model that estimates arousal and cognitive variables from eye measurements.

Going to CNS? Check out @MCohanpour's poster for some cool findings on curiosity and the brain!
Why come to a poster session on the last day of a conference? Well, perhaps you're curious! If you're @ CNS this year, come by poster session F (T 8-10 AM) to learn about how we (@mariam_s_aly, Jackie Gottlieb, and I) have leveraged vision to probe the neural basis of curiosity.

Please RT: my lab is looking to hire new postdocs! Come study memory, navigation, and decision-making with us, or share with anyone who might be interested
Interested in context & memory? Want to work with an amazing mentor? Apply to work with @HalleZucker in 2023!
She is my go-to for all academic advise. I have worked with her, experienced her mentorship first hand and I strongly recommend working with her!
Not enough superlatives out there to describe my excitement that I’ll be starting my own lab @UCRiverside Psych in 2023!
I use EEG, fMRI, & behavior to study context + memory in younger and older adults.
I’m hiring a lab mgr, grad students, & postdoc. Lmk if you’re interested!
