Everyone at home - please take this time to prioritize getting sleep if you can! It’s so undervalued in our society but also vital to physical and mental health. If children want to sleep in, let them! Extra sleep is superior to 2 extra hrs of work ! Trust.

Precisely.. science is incremental and reliability builds across time. If you read any ONE paper and decide it’s ‘amazing’ or ‘crap’.. that’s not scientific. Every paper is a little right and a little wrong, it’s our job to clarify those points over time.

This is why I constantly tell people what it means to have scientific consensus. If we all agree, that’s rare and it means *that* is science. A single paper is not science per se.

@rachelxbernard @PaperWhispers @smooth357 @YouTooBio 💯 need at least two weeks. It’s common courtesy to appreciate peoples time and work schedules. Plus I don’t write form letters, I put a lot of time, recall specific instances and add details to my letters.

Sooo, my 11 yr old daughter wants me to cut her long hair into a Pixie cut. Today. This makes me more nervous than any talk I’ve ever given. I still remember a hair cut I got at her age that made me cry. Advice?

Day 6: My daughter inspired by Master Chef Junior makes me a salad of arugula, mashed avocado, cucumber and apple?! It’s quite delicious! #coviddiaries

He won’t stop until we’re all dead. What an obvious attempt to divert attention away from his failings

Speaking of voodoo.. every time we submit a ms for review, we make an offering to the gods. If the offer is ‘accepted’, the ms is likely to be invited for full review. It’s worked like a charm since 2004! @leraboroditsky Our latest offering @camillecgasser

@behrenstimb Sadly mostly men. Pat Goldman Rakic vs Joaquin Fuster for Area 46. You’re a whole generation off!

Beautiful series of studies manipulating the location and kind of boundary (abrupt vs gradual) shows that in-the-moment subjective duration judgments reflect the duration of the most recent event in working memory. Kudos to @brynnesherman @sarahdubrow !!!!!

Another 4 years later, very excited that this is out in the world! We ( @sarahdubrow , @JonWinawer , @LilaDavachi ) show that event boundaries -> compressed duration judgments (due to reduced memory access) + hippocampal patterns predict subjective judgments!

Incredible news. Hoping this will bring much needed attention to the awful situation in Iran. The Iranian people need International communities to listen, look and act! #WomenLifeFreedom

I'm experiencing one of the happiest moments in my life. Awarding Narges Mohammadi the #NobelPeacePrize honours her sacrifice and the broader Iranian struggle for fundamental rights. #WomanLifeFreedom

First paper out from this rich dataset that presents repeated sequential events to examine how the human hippocampus codes object sequences. If you are a journal editor and want this paper to consider - let us know!

As shown behaviorally by Morrow, Greenspan and Bower in 1987, we see evidence for representational persistence in visual cortex within but not across event boundaries. Congrats @yezzyat !

@SBMost It all depends on the question no? We have learned a lot from studies with N=12, 17, 20 - mainly studies with elegant experimental design and behavior. Also — Bad design + 1 million subjects still equals bad data. Size is not everything 😂
