My thoughts exactly!
Karen is a great PI-- highly recommend this for ECRs interested in memory!
Are we going to see a snowflake for Calcifer from Howl's Moving Castle?
The irony of an animated fire demon snowflake is just too good to pass up haha.
In a new paper (with @kayritchie.bsky.social, Eilidh Noyes, Carl Bunce and Josh Davis) we investigated AI-face detection in super-recognisers and typical-ability participants, both with and without a short training procedure. See the link below for the results!

I am looking to create a lab code of conduct/manual/safety check type document outlining the ethos of how we work. Could anyone point me in the direction of a good (open source) example covering safety, comms, working with others etc.? Or would anyone be willing to share theirs? Thank you!
Proud supervisor moment 🎉: The PhD student that I am co-supervising just won first prize for his poster at the school's PhD conference!!
It's only Wednesday, and it's already a great week!
I was born and raised a Blue Jays fan, so of course I am watching the game (even though it's ... well ... very early in the UK).
Come on #BlueJays ! You can fight back from this!

Sorry for your loss Ben-- losing an animal is like losing a family member :(
Excited to share a new article from @icevislab.bsky.social! In a sample of over 60 people, we found distinct neural differences underlying object and face recognition in dyslexia. These findings highlight crucial domain-general visual processes that may contribute to word reading challenges.

I am VERY excited to announce that I was awarded a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship (@britishacademy.bsky.social ) !
With this funding, I will be investigating forensic face matching through collaborative decision-making!
Join us on August 22nd in collaboration with CSBBCS and SPARK Society for a free online webinar on finding postdoc opportunities!
Visit the following link to register for the event: shorturl.at/BVPtC
We hope to see you there!!
Please note that the meeting will be held exclusively in English.
I am really excited to be presenting at the joint #CSBBCS and #EPS Dundee meeting this morning at 11:15! If you're around, come see my talk about age related changes in face learning!
