On #InternationalWomensDay, I’d like to share some “everyday” things I suggest to my students, that they can do to push back against implicit sexism and gender bias. How do you help #AccelerateAction ?

Happy #Internationalwomensday. If I were to make a second poster like this, who else should I feature? Name your fav Female Psych-Sci Scholar ☺️

Shout-out to my students who completely rocked the expo floor at the @seattleindies.bsky.social Games-Education-Industry-Collider last weekend. We displayed our serious game prototypes and our table buzzed for 8 consecutive hours! Lots of learning and connections made: 10 / 10, highly recommend.

#PsychSciSky - calling on Cog Psych / Cog Sci folks: Can you help? I'm looking for an engaging review of human intelligence for an Intro to Cognition class (my text book doesn't include a chap on Intell). Pls share your favs.

Twenty+ yrs ago I didn’t have a great answer for WHY music was such a powerful memory aid, but I do now, thanks to the rise of Neuro-Music research. Really cool stuff happening in these labs. #Psychology #EduSky #PsychSciSky #Music

Im prepping a new class on Psych, Games, & Social Justice and am reading a lot abt games and learning. Gamification tends to get more press, but digital-game-based-learning offers greater benefit. See the full set of 6 slides for more. ❤️ the mini lesson? 🙏share! #psychology #EduSky #PsychSciSky

Memory processes aren’t really magic, but they are transformations! I like the Dynamic Systems Theory language of making something more - memory - from something less - electrical + chemical activity in the brain. It’s remarkable that neurons firing creates mental time travel! #PsychSciSky #Memory

I’m grateful for you - a social media visitor who paused to scroll, like, and maybe even share! What are you grateful for? While there are many things in life we can’t control, there are some that we can ❤️. Seeking a kernel of positivity in yourself and others is one of them. #psychology #grateful

Did you know that emotions come from our brain's most important work: prediction about whether *this moment* is going to be helpful or hurtful? The feeling delivered by the prediction enervates "next steps". Said another way: Emotion = the OG algorithm! #psychology #PsychSciSky #emotion #survival

When I first started teaching & was getting to know my colleagues an English Prof asked me what Psychology is all about. I replied: “A means of understanding the human condition.” She laughed and said, “Funny! That’s exactly how I define poetry.” #weareallhuman #psychology #poetry

And this is why it’s a non-sequitur to state that AIs may soon reach or exceed “PhD-level” intelligence. Programs are not the same as our human “organic predictive processors” that we call brains 😄. #psychology #PsychSciSky #CognitivePsychology #CognitiveScience #AIliteracy
