IMPACT OF PARENTHOOD ON UNIVERSITY EMPLOYMENT. Line graph shows how the probability of holding a research position changes from four years before to seven years after having children.
Becoming a parent is much more detrimental to women’s academic careers than it is to men’s

Great science and great friends at CNS. I shared new work from my postdoc @audreyduarte.bsky.social We find that depressive symptoms are linked to greater neural evidence of proactive interference at encoding which predicts subsequent errors at retrieval. This effect seems to be exacerbated by age.
You know what's better than eating ice cream?🍦Eating ice cream and seeing @retorresh.bsky.social's cool poster (C115) about the time it takes to decode high vs low memorability objects using EEG! Later today #CNS2026
If you're at #CNS2026 and interested in aging & memory, come see @emilyedavis.bsky.social's poster on implicit associative memory tomorrow at 8am (#63)
We had a great time at #LOVE2026 #psychscisky
In case you missed it, message
@hannahgthomas.bsky.social to learn about the relationship bw sustained attention & inhibition
If you're at #LOVE2026, check out our poster today! We are sharing some exciting (preliminary) fMRI data from a non-speaking Autistic individual who listened to intact and reverse audio clips in the scanner. We show that we can localize regions sensitive to language processing in this individual!
Localized regions sensitive to language processing in my own brain today!
PhD students: Do you have experience with structural or fMRI data analysis? Are you interested in data harmonization, open science, and cognitive aging? 🧠📊 💻 If yes, this post-doc position in my lab is perfect for you!
Please share with your networks!

I couldn’t recommend working with Karen and Linda enough. Good people, good researchers. Bonus: office with a window that overlooks the Bruce Trail.
Women make up 2/3 of Alzheimer’s patients in Canada. On (MIS)Treated, @namshine.bsky.social talks to @mnrajah.bsky.social (@torontomet.bsky.social) about how menopause impacts brain health, and the need for more research.
The CDC amended its website to suggest that vaccines may cause autism. It now declares that experts “ignored” a potential link between infant vaccination and autism, and asserts that its earlier rejection of such a link was not “evidence-based.”

Not every week of research is super exciting, but this week is! We had an awesome scanning day yesterday with a really special population. I’m downloading data now and hopefully we can share more soon! 🤞🏼
Excited to share that I'm joining WashU in January as an Assistant Prof in Psych & Brain Sciences! 🧠✨!
I'm also recruiting grad students to start next September - come hang out with us! Details about our lab here: www.deckerlab.com
Reposts are very welcome! 🙌 Please help spread the word!
Exhausting.
Don’t trust the experts”? That’s not democracy, that’s recklessness.
On a plane, I want a pilot.
In a hospital, I want doctors and scientists who understand the evidence.
Expertise isn’t religion or authoritarianism — it’s training, accountability, and data.
Ignore it and we all pay the price.
Corn husking contest at our lab BBQ yesterday had our newest members wondering if they've made a grave error. 🤔 🌽🌽🌽🤪😂
Not the brand new one ?! 😩
Congratulations, Lauren! Can’t wait to read it.
We couldn’t have done it without your mentorship! We were lucky to have you every step of the way.
So proud of these two! I owe much of my lab's early success to these incredibly smart women, @emilyedavis.bsky.social & @sarahehenderson.bsky.social. Now on to bigger and better things - postdocs at Uni of Toronto & UT Austin, respectively. Can't wait to see what they accomplish next 🙌🏻🥲❤️
It was fun to have the chance to present our new data on associative memory in children! Thanks to the organizers for another great year #TAMeG2025
Thrilled to share this work now published in Cerebral Cortex! doi.org/10.1093/cerc...
We apply Greedy State Boundary Search in EEG to identify neural state boundaries and show that the degree of shift, but not their temporal synchrony, predicts memory performance in both older and younger adults.
