Obvs, Ashley is an excellent researcher - quant skills, writing, deep thinking, curious - all the things.

She's writing up a killer dissertation (and some other stuff, too!) and plans to defend this year. Feel free to get in touch, and please RT!

Steven Weisberg @stevenmweisberg.bsky.social · 28d

I'm lucky enough that Ashley has attended my lab meetings for the last few years and disseminated some of this knowledge to us cog-focused folk. We also realized lots of areas that were really under-researched: how do our "cognitive maps" change as our environments do? As we do?

Steven Weisberg @stevenmweisberg.bsky.social · 28d

Ashley's approach blends social psychology with environmental psychology, and her work puts a unique spin on concepts we encounter in spatial navigation and cognitive psychology, too: what is a place? Why do we want to spend time in the places we do? How does this affect us?

Job market alert!

Are you hiring a post-doc? You absolutely must consider the brilliant @ashleykrause.bsky.social

I was lucky enough to write a paper with Ashley on a topic I knew oh so little about and learned a TON.

While a lot will change for us, much will stay the same. My research program will continue to examine the cognitive neuroscience of spatial navigation using #fMRI and #virtualreality in younger and older adults.

Barnstorming talk and Q&A from @olivia.science on her recent paper on cognitive maps and small cakes. Really thought provoking and now my head hurts. Also, I could listen to Olivia & @irisvanrooij.bsky.social talk about theory all day!
