Conferences are for science, but they are also for catching up with old friends. Nice to see these and so many others at #CNS2026

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?

If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.

Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

My measly human brain, with my measly human hours left on earth, does not want to read your manuscript/assignment/thesis if you used #AI to help write it.

Fuck off, go ask a robot.

Back to in-lab studies it is!

(which we were already doing, really, because online participants are doing loads of other shit in addition to your task - ask me how I know!) #PsychSciSky

Just spent way too long revising procedures that will inevitably lead to an argument with the person who devised the procedures. And really, it's difficult to convey how little I care about this... #AcademicSky

New preprint by @sarahehenderson.bsky.social. The *real* blood, sweat, and tears of her PhD - trying to develop an intervention to improve episodic memory in older adults under naturalistic conditions.

"Event tagging" is simple, but holds real promise. #PsychSciSky #memory

Good question, though I've never heard of this being a problem before. With this being a federal initiative to bring talent to Canada, I would be surprised if they started turning people down for residency who come in on this program. πŸ€”
