Thought I’d write a quick #introduction! I'm a Professor at the University of Toronto where my lab studies the neural and cognitive mechanisms supporting memory and perception.

Recently, we’ve launched a line of research that seeks to translate core principles from memory science into tangible solutions to mitigate memory loss. You can read about our first attempt here: https://psyarxiv.com/2fwup/.

Very happy to be part of the #NeuroscienceMigration and to connect with you here!

At my current employer, #CSUChico, a #TitleIX scandal is erupting. An untenured male biology professor had an affair with a grad student, two female professors protested, the university investigates, he buys ammo and tells his estranged wife he wants to kill his colleagues, the university does nothing to sanction him, grants him tenure, and gives him an Outstanding Professor award.

When I was in college i got into flight simulators for a minute, and discovered there was a whole community of people who roleplay as air traffic controllers on a multiplayer version of MS flight simulator. There was specialized radar and comms software and you could sign up for classes where you learned real-world lingo and techniques for directing air traffic. I tried it for a couple weeks and realized it was basically "having a stressful job" as a hobby

anyway now I'm a moderator on mastodon
