- This really resonates with me, Paul, especially what you said about growth through intellectual struggle. I remember a time in your lab when @joshcashaback.bsky.social wouldn’t give me the answer to a coding/design problem. I felt so frustrated then and just wanted someone to tell me the solution.

- I am excited to start at #UofG this July. I look forward to contributing to research and helping to build a strong, collaborative scientific community.
- This paper expands my research methods to include transcutaneous nerve stimulation and fNIRS. We used a multi-method approach to measure hemodynamic responses during a 45-minute session, revealing a nonlinear temporal potentiation mechanism centered in the posterior parietal cortex.

- ✨ Exciting News! ✨ I am thrilled to share that I will be joining the University of Guelph's Department of Psychology in Neuroscience and Applied Cognitive Science as an Assistant Professor, starting July 1, 2026. I will be returning to Canada on Canada Day!
- Rest in peace, to a legend who taught us all to hope and to act. She showed an entire generation of girls, including me, that we could be scientists, that we could be brave enough to go into the wild and change the world through curiosity and compassion.

- Reposted by Susan ColtmanI urge everyone to read Unbreaking’s new page on everything the govt is doing to destroy & diminish medical research funding. It’s the best thing I’ve read on this topic: @lizneeley.bsky.social & co have such done an incredible job. unbreaking.org/issues/medic...
- Reposted by Susan ColtmanI have seen folks waste so much time by not properly planning research. Missed literature, missing controls, ignored hypotheses, etc. Lack of planning also produces bad science (e.g. analysis until significant). So I am writing an app. Looking for feedback. scientific-paper-planner-test.vercel.app
