- Happy 123rd Birthday, Dr. Barbara McClintock! Thank you to the #scientists participating in the nationwide #SciComm initiative, #McClintockLettters, that is in her honor. We are speaking to our local hometown communities about the value of federally funded research, and the impactful work we do.
- So grateful to be one of the 500+ early-career scientists returning to their roots this month. The SNAP team behind this campaign has been such a blast to work with! @snapcoalition.bsky.social Check out my piece in the Marietta Daily Journal, as well as other national coverage: bit.ly/3HXlfB4

- Reposted by Erin MorrowSo excited to share our new preprint! We used behavior & pupillometry to examine how reinterpreting negative emotions shapes memory for emotionally charged events. Huge thanks to my spectacular advisor, Dave, for all his help and support with my first project of grad school! Check it out 👇
- Emotions create vivid and lasting memories - but how are those memories organized? We find that negative emotions fragment experience, disrupting the flow of memory. Reframing negative feelings also carves up experiences, but in a way that supports integration and wellbeing. osf.io/preprints/ps...

- "In this world, there are two times....The first is unyielding, predetermined. The second makes up its mind as it goes along." - Alan Lightman, Einstein's Dreams 🕰️ Amid these wild times, I'm grateful to first-author this super cool fMRI study started by my great advisor @davidclewett.bsky.social! 🧠
- New from our lab: your brain doesn’t just remember time - it bends it. We show that the dopamine system responds to natural breakpoints in experience, and this relates to more stretched memories of time. Blinking also increases, signaling encoding of new memories. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Shout out to my good friend and fellow UCLA grad student Kayla Lim for introducing me to this great Lightman quote!
