Interested in context & memory? Want to work with an amazing mentor? Apply to work with Halle DimsdaleZucker in 2023! She is my go-to for all academic advise. I have worked with her, experienced her mentorship first hand and I strongly recommend working with her!


Why come to a poster session on the last day of a conference? Well, perhaps you're curious! If you're @ CNS this year, come by poster session F (T 8-10 AM) to learn about how we (Mariam Aly, Jackie Gottlieb, and I) have leveraged vision to probe the neural basis of curiosity.

Going to CNS? Check out Michael Cohanpour's poster for some cool findings on curiosity and the brain!




Hi #NeuroTwitter! Currently working on an article for The Psychologist about #interdisciplinary early-career folks bridging the brain sciences and humanities. Interested in interviewing/sharing your thoughts? Please reach out! Academic Chatter™ #neuroscience #stem #psychology #brain


So excited to share my first PUBLISHED first author paper in collaboration w/ Steven Cao, Megan deBettencourt ,Wilma Bainbridge & Monica Rosenberg! (1/3) urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https…

We are looking for speaker nominations (ECR or SCR) for next year (22-23)! Send nominations (name, inst., email, and webpage/scholar), and any supporting information (max 200 words) to: [email protected] More info: innovatorsincogneuro.github.io

Keeping my 👀 on #BlackInNeuro rollcall for scientists applying for PhD programs this fall! My lab UC Riverside opens Summer 2023 & will use brain imaging techniques (fMRI, EEG) to study memory, context, and aging. Feel free to DM/email if you're interested or want to know more!

Thrilled to share my latest paper, "Aging shifts the relative contributions of episodic and semantic memory to decision-making", out now in Psychology and Aging with co-first author Azara Lalla, Lynn Hasher, and Duncan Lab psycnet.apa.org/record/2022-87…

Applying to PhD programs & interested in studying human memory? Be sure to consider my lab UC Riverside! We use fMRI and EEG to look at memory (and esp how context influences our memories) in younger adults & healthy older adults. Apps are due by Dec 1st: bit.ly/UCRPhDApp

Great intro to the brilliant Katie Insel 's research. Not shown but just as impressive: her amazing commitment to mentoring and science advocacy

I'm recruiting a grad student for Sept 2023 UniversityOfVictoria! If you're interested in memory, aging, and cognitive control (and want to live in a beautiful city), please get in touch and consider applying! Deadline Dec 1st.


Big moment. My first first-author preprint is now out...here we investigate the neural basis of curiosity using a cool behavioral task and some fMRI! Check it out if you're curious abt curiosity! (w/ my brilliant mentors Jackie Gottlieb and Mariam Aly) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really excited to have an interview I conducted with Dr. Sarah Woolley, a songbird researcher at Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute, published in cricketmediainc's Muse magazine!
