Excited for the start of ESCoP 2025 (www.escop2025.com) in Sheffield this week. Our group has a bunch of things going on across the meeting...
Heading off to University of Queensland in Brisbane this week to help kick off a 3-year ARC-funded project on the causes & consequences of cognitive offloading in children. It's hosted at UoQ, & also involves collaborations with colleagues at Leeds (@amandawaterman.bsky.social), UCL, and Melbourne.
Heading to the 2025 Working Memory Discussion Meeting at beautiful Parcevall Hall today. Looking forward to three days of talks, chats, walks to the pub, and hopefully not too much rain.
🚨 Calling all colleagues who work on #workingmemory and #aging 🚨 Do you have any unpublished data on age differences in WM? 👴 👵 🧠 🌨️ We're working on a BIG meta-analysis, and I'd love any and all data that are currently not "out there" for us to find! 🔬 🤓 Please repost for reach, thanks! 🔁 😁

Doing this tonight! A whistle-stop tour through Nietzsche, Ebbinghaus, Epilepsy, deja vu, accelerated forgetting, and the Crimes Test, with Disney's Seven Dwarfs thrown in for good measure.
I'm doing Pint of Science on Monday in Leeds! Come along if you'd like to hear about memory and forgetting in epilepsy. Warning: will contain a memory test...
BNS Spring Meeting about to start. Looking forward to presenting our work on memory and forgetting in epilepsy.
