The usual “what is psychology?” to a new cohort of Psych 101 students. (With the cover of James’ Principles of Psychology” on the slide!)
Just goes to show that everyone thinks they know what #psychology is, but no one can really define it … (yet!)

#vss2025 is about science and networking and meeting up with friends, old and new.
I always enjoyed the birds, they bring back fond memories of birding with Josh Wallman. I was an amateur birder to his exquisite expertise…
He is sorely missed!

Repulsion, attraction, serial dependence, adaptation…

Good thing @canmertdoit.bsky.social cleared that up for us at #vss2025 with his awesome poster.

I have been tasked w/preparing a workshop on writing & submitting for #CogPsych #neuroscience PhD candidates, so I unearthed this book. My 2000 edition is outdated and even if recent editions seem ~better (e.g. exit the chapt by Bem recommending HARKing), I’d ❤️ ⭐️recommendations⭐️ for alternatives!

I have 2. The 1st is Sacks’ Island of the Color Blind: it made me realize at ~16-17 yrs old that studying the mind was serious business.
The 2nd is a more recent read: Darwin’s Voyage of the Beagle. It made me realize (remember?!) at ~40 that serious science is slow & thinking takes time.
