Absolutely delighted to (finally) share that I received an ERC starting grant for my project MultiAge, which will study bilingualism, ageing, and cognitive impairment. #ERCStG

Very excited that I will be one of the new Co-Directors of the York Neuroimaging Centre!

I'll be working alongside the amazing Prof Beth Jefferies, and I'll be focussing on strategy and operations and in particular external partners and funding.

Does sleep affect false memory in the DRM paradigm? Excited to share our stage2 #registeredreport , which I presented at Experimental Psychology Society & CSBBCS/SCSCCC. 488 young adults encoded lists of related words (eg nurse, hospital) before sleeping or staying awake. psyarxiv.com/83fyx

New preprint! Very excited to have this out - work done during COVID by the brilliant Nora Andermane that has taken a while for us to write up.

Still thinking about buddhika bellana 's awesome talk yesterday, suggesting how we can benefit from using complex and unconstrained stimuli such as narratives to better understand a snapshot of “memory state space” CSBBCS/SCSCCC

At my last ECR workshop, I was asked an interesting question:

Why would you take a lecturer in the UK instead of somewhere else?

My thoughts as follows

This was a huge honour. My heartfelt thanks to Experimental Psychology Society for the opportunity to speak.

Some feedback from this, shared with permission. If you think #phd students, #postdoc , and other #ECR academics at your university would benefit from a half-day workshop focussed on getting academic jobs and thriving in the role of a lecturer, get in touch
