Had a cracking week at the @expsyanz.bsky.social & APCV conference hosted at UNSW ๐๐ผ
Was good fun presenting some prelim findings from my 1st PhD study + chat with some cool researchers ๐ค
Thanks for the opportunity to present + see the great work being done in experimental psych! ๐ง

Very excited to present some preliminary findings from my first #PhD study at the EPC & APCV Joint Meeting held by @expsyanz.bsky.social at UNSW! ๐
Catch me at tomorrow's poster session from 6-8pm at the John Niland Scientia Building: Leighton Hall ๐

This is me! I'm back into my #RecruitmentEra and looking for participants ๐๐
My PhD is investigating how #attention can influence the development of #MentalFatigue in #TeamSport
Got questions? Hit me up! ๐ซก

It's Transgender Day of Visibility, and I have mixed emotions. So I wrote something about it ๐
(this is the first in a series; the next one is in a few weeks and is about disinformation campaigns)

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue Iโm editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.
Me, when a code chunk works in R:
#AcademicSky #coding #Rcoding #Rstudio
Me: There's no way removing a pair of quotation marks will change the output of my code that much!
*Removes quotation marks*
*Completely changes my output*
Man I love coding ๐ซ

Oh no! It's such a challenge trying to balance making yourself available because the participant is only available for a certain date and actually making time for yourself ๐
I'm definitely in the middle of learning that lesson as a PhD student!
Oh 100% lol
But all's well that ends well- we were both happy to come in, so we rolled with it!
Everyone in Canberra: *is on holiday because it's a public holiday*
Me: *in the lab because I forgot it was a public holiday today and I scheduled a participant*
Tldr: Bless this participant for agreeing to come in on a public holiday ๐๐ผ

Happy International Womenโs Day.

I'm sure you did a great job! ๐
Good luck, Thy! Hope you enjoy/enjoyed the chance to present your awesome project! ๐๐ผ
I will die on this hill...
Rosalind Franklin was the first to theorise the physical structure of DNA and Watson and Crick did some fancy interpretation of base pairing.
I struggle enough as it is calculating dates, but it's almost the end of February and I'm still forgetting that it's already 2025 ๐คฆ๐ป

Things that didn't make the news that will likely change our lives for the better
The news is not an accurate reflection of the world.
Good news doesn't get reported as much.
Here are the wonderful things researchers have achieved recently.

As someone who is currently recruiting in a team sport space, this sounds like a great resource!
A little challenge for neuro/cog sci (/psych/comp-sci/bio/philosophy!) blueys:
How would you define "cognition"?
Image is a picture of the definition of team sport from the Merriam-Webster dictionary website. Text reads as follows Team sport (noun) : a sport played by teams
FYI #TeamSport is surprisingly hard to define
Three must read papers for PhD students. #scisky #PhD #science #research #academicsky
1. The importance of stupidity in scientific research

It was a blast to talk #attention and #TeamSport at #ACNS2024 ๐ So cool to connect with different researchers & expand my perspectives on the #brain & #cognition ๐ง
Thank you to @acnsau.bsky.social & UON for hosting a brilliant conference!

Good rejuvenating walk before my Fast Talk tomorrow at #ACNS2024

I had a fantastic time sharing the findings of my rTMS study at #ACNS
It was great to have so many people interested in my research, and to also learn about what others are doing in this space.
Looking forward to @ylmariano.bsky.social presenting their fast talk tomorrow !

Even though it's technically day 2 of the #ACNS2024 it was a great first day for me full of fascinating talks about music, processing, & chatting with fellow PhD students & researchers alike! ๐ง
Also massive kudos to @tinotoufexis.bsky.social for smashing his poster pres & repping #ActiveBrainUC! ๐๐ผ
