my first ever research study is public! In a study designed with the amazing @drhelenapaterson.bsky.social, I replicated the mere exposure effect with human sentences reading voices, uncovering an unexpected state of "familiarly unfamiliar" voices processed differently to familiar and unknown voices

Totally jet lagged, and returned from a windy run feeling slightly defeated... so I added the #AAIC25 badge to my collection by my messy desk as a visual reminder for whenever I feel like I haven't achieved anything (ie nearly every day) - 10/10 recommend!!

someone from the audience at my #AAIC25 talk today said hi during security check at the airport - it was the 4th time someone today told me they felt empowered by my sharing my experience as an RA without a PhD. Unexpected outcome of the talk but I'll keep being vocal since we need this conversation
