Eid Mubarak ☺️ Sevdiklerimizle birlikte nice sağlıklı, huzurlu bayramlarımız olsun 😊

Thrilled to kick off my collaboration with the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience - Torkel Klingberg Group at Karolinska Institutet! Looking forward to a month of learning, research, and new experiences in beautiful Stockholm 🌱

Such an incredible evening, indeed!

It will be a great pleasure to chair this session! In today's Centre for Educational Neuroscience seminar, Prof Torkel Klingberg from Karolinska Institutet will discuss the effects of working memory training on math development. Join us today (June 6), 4-5 pm UK time. Free registration: tinyurl.com/tucbkooRegister

Best of the best, indeed!

Psyched in Education Conference was incredible! We had the pleasure of showcasing our department’s impactful research and connecting with amazing people. Plus, the treats were delicious as always; thank you all for making this possible! UCL IOE Psychology and Human Development #PsychedinEd
