Thank you @annemscheel.bsky.social for visiting us in Geneva, we were delighted to get to know & exchange with you!💬
Your insightful meta-science talk put the underlying structure of research (the different processes of scientific discovery, testing, & inference) into perspective - so helpful! ⚙️🤓

Item vs order: a battle for attention? @johannahein.bsky.social shared her research on how attention supports the maintenance of what’s remembered & in what sequence. We’re looking forward to the next series of results! And yes, we’ll be keeping everything in order for the line-up of lab updates 🧠📋

⏳⏰🧠 Tic-toc, it’s research o’clock! In today’s lab meeting, our teammate Ruiheng Zhang shared her latest work on how free time affects working memory. With some early results already on the table, it seems future insights are just a matter of time… we’ll definitely be sticking around for seconds!🧠⏰⏳
