Checked off the ESSENTIAL first step before wading back into some fMRI data analysis
A notebook with “DistNotDefeated” (a project title) at the top. Underneath is a checklist with only one item: Get a little treat. This item has been checked off.

I had such a wonderful time defending my thesis yesterday—so thankful for my advisor @serences.bsky.social, committee, labmates, friends, and family.

During April 2020 (aka the toilet paper and Tiger King era of lockdown), @naseemdh.com, @violetsarebrown.bsky.social, @juliafstrand.bsky.social, and I decided to submit a registered report for an in-person project. 5 years and 1 in-principle acceptance later, we have submitted Stage 2!!

I think my feed needs a picture of our happy beagle at daycare. Worst research assistant but best dog.

First day of teaching Intro to Psychology, and I'm so grateful for the depth of processing demo—it ALWAYS WORKS!
A grouped jitter plot. On the x-axis is "Which set of instructions did you get," with the options of "Black or blue font" and "Larger or smaller than a house cat" and on the y-axis is "How many words did you remember?" The group who got "larger or smaller than a house cat" remembered more words than the group who got "black or blue font."

Got to teach some newer labbies about fMRI analysis…and naturally used a brain-shaped stress ball and torn up paper to explain ROI masks 🤭
Two women are seated on desk chairs. Janna is sitting on the right, showing Isabella a brain-shaped stress ball with a small strip of paper on top (representing an ROI mask). Isabella is watching and taking notes on her iPad. Both are casually dressed in jeans and sweaters.
