"We need awareness in the workplace so that support and reasonable adjustments can be made for dyslexic adults. In line with this, we need to remove any stigma there might be about disclosing a dyslexia diagnosis. We know that dyslexia is not related to intelligence yet, for some, this myth persists."

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

New paper with @jmedrano.bsky.social. It’s the first experiment in a line of research testing working memory (our ability to hold and manipulate information for later use) theories in the context of math problem solving and learning.

Lovely to see you. And your campus is beautiful! We bought t-shirts 😂
Quick trip to @uofcalifornia.bsky.social for a coffee and a chat with @damcotto.bsky.social 😊 ☕️ ☀️
