The world is 110% on fire and everything is terrible, but I’m happy to report that the undercut is BACK with a vengeance! Very excited to have much less hair this summer and have one less thing to deal with 😄

If I ever needed a metric for how much I gesture during lectures, apparently my Garmin auto-recorded my lectures as swims today 🤣

If anyone needs me I’ll be lounging here while Thea watches cat tv from my lap all day 😸

This is the energy I’m bringing into 2025 😸

*slaps new lab equipment*
This baby can fit SO much research!
My startup equipment is finally here! Excited to get started on some new VR studies next semester. 😁

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! Please enjoy my unhinged lecture slide from Wednesday as a treat.

My first piece of lab equipment has arrived… a keyboard! Get ready for some science 😄

When #psynom24 is in NYC you can take breaks to see fun, nerdy shows with @rebekacsalmasi.bsky.social!

ZZ and Lauren did such a great job presenting our work on boundary extension in large and small scenes yesterday! Thanks to everyone who stopped by 😄 #psynom24

Not to draw attention to the author of Good Omens but Tumblr is spot on today.

I do love the idea of that, but it’s something like the image on the left: the same stimuli that make the illusory square, but tilted so the illusion isn’t visible.

We’re covering object perception in S&P today, which means I get to talk about my favorite study ever. 😸📦

Since it’s suddenly June, I should announce that I’m starting as an Assistant Professor in the Psych dept at Rhode Island College this fall! I’m so humbled by all who helped me get here, and thrilled to start the next chapter of my career.

#VSS24 highlights: dolphins in the gulf, color illusions, and whiskey. See you all next year! 😎🐬🥃

Wentao (Taylor) did an amazing job presenting his honors thesis work yesterday afternoon! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to give us comments and feedback ☺️ Stay tuned for a preprint of this project dropping soon! #VSS2024

I’m excited for #VSS2024! Come see Wentao Si’s poster on his honors thesis project Sunday afternoon: The interaction of clutter and scene size on visual search in natural scenes 😁😎

Thea is either very invested in helping me give student feedback, or she really wants my cheesy potato soup. Who could say?

I am “actually kinda excited about the free calendar that came in my Chinese takeout” years old.

And that’s a wrap on teaching this semester! Now I just have to give feedback on thesis drafts, grade the final drafts when they’re in, create and grade an exam, and finish a handful of other assignments. It’s fine. Totally fine. 😅
