New opening for a full-time lab tech in the Kanwisher Lab: careers.peopleclick.com/careerscp/clie… This job is a great stepping stone to graduate programs in cognitive neuroscience. Demonstrated serious interest in cog neuro and good coding skills required. Machine learning skills a plus.

I won the NSF GRFP! Nice. This could not be possible with out my mentors here at IU. @richardfbetzel and Anne Krendl were amazing and gave incredible feed back through out the process. I'm very lucky and happy and WILL be celebrating 🥊🥊🔥🔥

I’m excited to share the first paper of my PhD! arxiv.org/abs/2306.10168 1/

This work from NeurIPS 2019 was the start of a much larger project that is now out in Nature Neuroscience! Check it out here: nature.com/articles/s4159…

As we're heading into PhD application season, I wrote a post with advice for applying to grad school, drawing from my experience on admissions committees. Please share with any aspiring PhD students that you know! brains-explained.com/advice-for-app…

Words and sentences that are highly dissimilar from anything we’ve seen before are more likely to be remembered accurately, according to research from Ev (like in 'evidence', not Eve) Fedorenko 🇺🇦 Greta Tuckute Bryan Medina Thomas Hikaru Clark Ted Gibson, Language Lab MIT. mcgovern.mit.edu/2025/10/01/mit… MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences MIT Science

Why are some words and sentences easier to remember than others? Two of our papers covered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) News today: we found that unambiguous words with few or no synonyms ("Pineapple") and sentences with distinctive meanings (“Every cloud has a blue lining”) are most memorable!
