Owns too many books, bakes more cakes than I can eat and enjoys a good walk and basking in nature’s beauty 📚🧁🌺🌳
I’m really proud to say that last week I was awarded the Cardiff University, School of Psychology, Junior Researcher of the Year 2025 prize.
I’d like to thank @candicemorey.bsky.social for the nomination (and the lovely flowers)!!

What can we learn about working memory by studying eye movements?

We followed this question during an thought inspiring symposium at #ESCoP25 with great talks by Shlomit Yuval-Greenberg, @ruhibhanap.bsky.social, @joaovieiraadv.bsky.social, @genevievelawson.bsky.social, @candicemorey.bsky.social

This Sunday (7th September) there will be a nationwide Emergency Alert test at 3pm.

For women experiencing #DomesticAbuse, a hidden phone can be a lifeline. The Emergency alert this week will trigger a loud siren noise, even if your phone is on silent.

Looking forward to speaking in my first symposium (SYM-24) at my first conference later today! #escop2025

I’m going to be sharing data from my latest study looking at ‘How Children Encode What and Where information? Evidence from Eye Movements’ 👀.

Hour 40 without electricity and heating….. this isn’t so fun anymore.
Storm Darragh has certainly helped to create some new memories.

I’m teaching for the first time (3 hours back to back every two weeks) this year and taught my second batch of tutorials to 1st year UGs today.
Thought I would share some thoughts -
1. The prep will take longer than expected 📝 (the rumours are true!)

Today marks the start of the second year of my PhD. Here are some thoughts 🧠on the first 12 months:
- Doing a PhD is by far one of the best decision’s I’ve ever made
- Everyday I’m surrounded by amazing people who energise and inspire me 🤩
- The break through highs are worth the little struggles

Something to be carefully pondered.

As I enter the 2nd year of my PhD what comes next is something I’ve started thinking about - especially which avenue will bring me the most joy.

So far academia is winning on the enjoyment scale in every aspect - let’s see if it stays that way!!

New blogpost! I promised to write some with advice for different career stages, but first I've written about the why rather than the how - why we might be academics in the first place. Enjoy!

Enjoying the process
It’s 2024, but BlueSky feels like 2012 Twitter right now, which means blogs are totally back! I suggested that I would write a few blogposts...
