Conferences are for science, but they are also for catching up with old friends. Nice to see these and so many others at #CNS2026
You know what's better than eating ice cream?π¦Eating ice cream and seeing @retorresh.bsky.social's cool poster (C115) about the time it takes to decode high vs low memorability objects using EEG! Later today #CNS2026
If you're at #CNS2026 and interested in aging & memory, come see @emilyedavis.bsky.social's poster on implicit associative memory tomorrow at 8am (#63)

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.
TFW you've missed a couple emails/wrote down the wrong meeting times and you're wondering what else is going to come out of the woodwork...π«

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
Elsevier journal sending angry automated emails about my overdue review. Bitch, please.

In case you missed it, message
@hannahgthomas.bsky.social to learn about the relationship bw sustained attention & inhibition
Day 2 of #LOVE2026 and it's so nice to not be an organizer this year.

Important review by @mnrajah.bsky.social et al. on why we need to increase the diversity of our research on #aging and #dementia.

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. π€

Hey you, Professor, you don't look busy. Would you mind telling us (yet again) everything you've done over the past 7 years. Cheers, NSERC
